There is just no fear of consequences, no morals, and no dignity with people anymore. I used to not blame parents as much as I do now. It's almost everyday you hear about a 15-17 year old kid, making the most evil decisions. In most cases, if you were brought up with the understanding of consequence and a general teaching of right and wrong, you're going to realize "Oh, I guess I have to work hard for what I want in life", or "Oh, I can't have everything I want in life"....NOT "OH, I guess I'll TAKE whatever I want in life w/o any regard to laws- or to any person's life that gets in my way". Disgusting. Ok, I'm done with my rant.....ha

@Andrea,your absolutely right about everything you said cause as a mother of 4 adult children i had to teach them that nothing in life is free and that if you want aomething in life you have to work hard to get it,and yes i am a single parent and i hate it when parents use the excuse of i can't do anything with a teenage child. Thats bs if i can do it they can too.

I think we should stop coddling criminals. If they choose that path in life, society should deal with them swiftly and harshly. I'm tired of having to watch my back!
