The one thing that stood out is that many teens do not respect their parents, and they do not believe anything they tell them. But those same teens will believe anything a stranger, or someone on the internet tells them.
Even when they become victims of assault because of their poor judgment, they take it out on their parents, and blame them, more than they do their assailant.
Too many teens are trapped in a make believe virtual world, and will fight you tooth and nail if you try to release them from it. I don't have any easy answers for this problem. Or should I say, I don't have any answers that most parents will be willing to adopt.
So, do they not respect their parents because the schools are brainwashing them?
The fabric of the American family is that frayed that parents are disrespected?
Do the parents share some of the blame, for trying to be buddies instead of parents, or worse: they just don't really give a damn?
This is bad.
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain." Frank Herbert, Dune
