The kids are much worse off today then ever before
Children have always been uncivilized. Lord of the Flies comes to mind.
It has been our duty as elders in the past to guide them into mature adults with a sense of duty, compassion, caring for their fellow human beings and having an appreciation of the wonderful world we live in.
I don't know the when or the how of it but somewhere along the line in the past few years it would appear we have left children on their own without guiding them and we are witnessing the results of shirking our duties.
And it's not pretty.
Headlines about how online bullies cause teen to commit suicide, two young boys feeding a live kitten to their dogs, one boy filming another boy brutally beating his puppy, two female teenagers forcing a disabled child to have sex with an animal and filming this same child as he kept falling thru ice on a pond, and two young girls volunteering at a care home beating up a 98 year old, filming it and up loading the video. Sadly the list seems endless.
I can't consider all of these kids to be "The Bad Seed". We've really let down a generation.
The audience is just bigger.
Weird shit has always happened. It was just contained in the community's closets or local papers. Now anything and everything is instantly viral and exaggerated.
While I do agree that recent generations have devalued life while elevating their own self worth, I DO hope for a new rebellion that will turn us around.
Maybe the kids of all these freaks will rebel against their idiotic behavior and yo-yo us back into sanity

The worm does turn, it's just a phase, it has happened many times in the past...
