(21,043 posts)Some parents might not be willing to discuss anything regarding the topic of kids. They're automatically on the defensive.
It's clear that there is less tolerable behavior nowadays, and you may be right that the fact that kids are exposed to so much violence nowadays may play into this, as well as the fact that there is simply no community per se any longer. There's also more permissiveness by certain parents.
There's no shortage of information out there on how troubled some kids and teens are. From the teens that beat up on the homeless, to those that shoot one another or themselves, or shoot their parents, join gangs, and grow up a mess. Teachers too, are suffering the effects of this, as so many kids behave in an unsocialized fashion.
