in today's generation of youth, where values diminishing, where more crimes committed by youth, where have we gone wrong?
are parents to be blamed? is society has an effect of this? is technology that influential? is media had not been that responsible to allow young people to hunger and surrender to commercialism it promoted?
as parents, where have we failed to do? do we really need schooling or further education to answer to these problem? how can we be a change agent for such all these?

I;ve seen families where it is hard to tell who is the parent by their behaviour because they are so immature.
A lot of people out there are having kids when they can't look after themselves properly and are very self-absorbed ahd childish. They are not "grown up" themselves so they can't/won't help their kids to grow up.
Yes the media and commercial interests do prey on kids because they know that pester power works - but if the parents of these kids are already under it's spell then the kids are an easy mark. You see people with kids who are totally obsessed with getting more and more stuff for themselves and their kids so, of course, the kids copy that idiotic behaviour. If the adults around them spend 6 hours a day glued to a screen then the kids think that is how you live your life. If the adults around them buy any junk that is waved in front of them they think that is how you should spend your money.
People are very resistant to any message which says they need to change their behaviour and take responsibility for their lives. They like the easy way of greed and laziness and pretending everything is okay.

yes parents are really the ones to be blamed. the first attributes and values start at home.so what your children do at school is st parents' expense.
