because they are getting out of control

Yes,children are getting out of control.And,yes,it is a parenting issue.The problem is that,on one hand,many parents simply do not bother to discipline their children,which would teach them the difference between right and wrong and that there are always concequinces for their actions.On the other hand,state,local,and federal government are getting more intrusive and restrictive.They tell parents not to spank their children,not to yell at them,not to punish them,then when(not if) the child does something illegal,the afore mentioned government wants the parents to be responsible.Parents are confused and don't knw what exactly to do.I do NOT believe that a child should be beaten or physically or mentally abused,but I ABSOLUTELY believe that a child needs to have discipline.Parents are failing in their responsibilities if they do not administer discipline,tempered with lots of affection,of course.Except for abuse cases(and the difference between abuse and discipline is very clear) the courts need to stay the hell out of the parenting game.

They are, due to the fact that most of the time both parents have to work and the kids are stuck in daycares, or home alone . So they act up more to get their parents attention. Also parents cant disipline like they did in the old days. And the schools cant either. And look at the movies out for kids. It is wild, I am only 24 and I will not allow my children to watch certain things. You have to raise your child with values and manners and you have to start young. I know that they do things that are cute, but you have to remember that if you laugh at it now, you wont be able to fix it in the future. Cause they will remember that at the first time was funny.

Yes I totally agree with you.Trying to make sure my 3 kids aren't in that category.They are talking back to their parents,some even hit their parents.I try to look back when i was a kid was i really that bad.I didn't rebel untill i was like 17 but these kids are having sex as young as 10,11.I gave my mom a hard time at 17 and ended up pregnant.The parents let their kids get away with it.I think this is something you have to straighten out when they are small.Right from wrong and about sex and drugs.Kids are suppose to be the future and the way some of these kids are that's scary.

I hear that. they are given too much freedom. None of the kid now-a-days get up for eldery people and give them there seats. The don't say excuse me, or help people with groceries. Th problem is that parents have to work to keep up with cost of living and are too tired to raise there kids, which is understandable. Then kids are raising kids. I have a stepson that is learning all the manner I was brought up with. To this day i still give up my seat to my aunts and grandparents and I am 27. Kids need to realize that seen and not heard needs to be in play some of the time. Let then have opinions but they need to learn their place

well i'm 18, and while i agree that "children these days" are different from children 50 years ago, i would not say that they/we are out of control. as time goes on, society changes... the media is a huge influence now--which causes younger kids to be exposed to more adult issues... and more often now both parents work. a combination of things have caused the nuclear family unit to break down (at least compared to 50 years ago), leaving kids with a much different experience growing up than they did before. to label all kids out of control is unfair... kids a long time ago got in trouble and did stupid things (my parents, who are in their 50's, tell me stories of stupid things that they did in their childhood/teenage years), but they were different stupid things... children in today's society aren't inherently bad, and should not be label as such.. they just face a completely different world that their parents did... give us a break!

I think that kids today are handed too much and they expect it. I have a neice and 2 nephews, that wont get out and work for money..because all their lives they have gotton any thing they have ever wanted. They dont know how to make money, manage it...the only thing they now how to do is spend it. And when they dont get it handed to them, they steal it. I think this is abig reason kids act the way they do these day.

it's up to the parents to keep them in control. if parents are not doing a good job with their kids, how are we expected to think that the children will be good kids. Not only that, parents and other caregivers need to be in synch with each other so that the kid knows that everyone is on the same page. don't allow kids to run over you in ANY situation

I disagree. Children are often the product of their environment. Someone has not been parenting lately. Something to do with keeping up with the Jones'.

I agree with you! Their parents allow them to get away with everything. What kids need to day is a good swat on the butt. They don't want to work for anything, they want everything given to them.
