Our kids, grandkids are inundated with bad examples at school and in public everyday and it's so easy for them to start to act that way too, to take the path of least resistance. Add that more and more are coming from an unstable home life, all levels of apathy, no guidance, respect or authority. Parents are stressed more than ever, generations have changed, problems getting worse. It's a challenge to cope each day. Well, anyone can see it's just a recipe for disaster.
I was "drugged" too growing up but my moment of "sobriety" came when I saw the benefits of all that my parents were trying to do. Then when I learned I was going to be a parent, well I got the "drugs" ready for my kids.
