Konraden ~ people are allowed to express their opinions here. Thank you for your input and graphs though. Everyone has opinions and are simply giving them and I find them all interesting.
Opinions are useless when talking about a generation of 70 million people, no one person could possibly know all of them and how they act. A worm in a jar of horseradish thinks the world is horseradish.
Statistics are the only way to compare generations in this case.

And I'd like to point out the very real phenomenon of self-fulfilling prophecies. Keep telling today's kids that they are unruly, violent sociopaths and they'll follow suit.
The evidence shows kids are better than kids of yesteryears. We should act appropriately

For the most part we have built up the millennials, remember they were the “Baby on Board” generation, all of the child safety and “it’s for the children” calls started with them. Cute children movies started with them (Baby Boom, Three men and a baby, etc.) Hollywood started producing massive amounts of G rated movies in the 80’s and 90’s a reversal from the R rated domination of the 70’s.
Gen-X on the other had was told how bad they are and in many cases showed how bad they are. They were the latch-key kids, most kids depicted in movies were bad or devil kids and children killed by parents were at alarming rates.
What I have noticed is folks having children and expecting someone else to raise them. I also see a surge of parents not caring where their children are.
bluediamond64..how right you are....when i came to usa,i was shocked to notice,how many parents simply do not care...their midlle school kids were hours away (even with older bad kids),they did not give a s...as if expected to grow up by themselve...nobody forced them to put kids in teh world (kids that they can not afford emotionally..many times finacially too),but then at least take responsability for them..this is not parenting...they do not care,what the kids were eating,were drinking,were playing,were doing with their freetime...the parents (especially the lazy mothers i blame most) were way to busy with their selfish lives...
Being originally from South Philly.. *shame*
However, that is an awful school. I did not go there, luckily. That's the local school where you go where you can't get into any other public or parochial school..so.. it was bad.
I think it has to do with the lack of discipline today. Parents have to have like a board meeting with their children and recognize their feelings instead of making sure they understand what's right and what's wrong. Parents are now friends; not parents.
Hmm did you ever ask yourself why its a "bad school", or do you just assume anyplace with a high percentage of black people is bad? It has to do with the systems of oppression in this country that keep people in poverty forcing them to resort to crime as a way to cope with their situation.
