Who does what everyone else does?
There are some things in life we need to do to maintain a civil society but in the main everyone is this country does what they wish within the bounds of the law.
Seems like your taking lessons from what was drummed into you to ensure your kids get messages drummed into them also.
I do look around and think the majority of kids and teenagers are fine, it's always people like you that complain and put a negative slant on them rather than viewing and embracing the upcoming generation for who they are.
Maybe you should have an attitude realignment!
My kids are socially adept and well educated with degrees, all having been through the public school system.
I am happy with life, so are my kids, perhaps you could start by writing your posts in a manner that display you are!
