Does this mean that you know better and thick that the current norm has "spiraled out" and is wrong?

I think we back to you knowing better and running the country.

The bottom line is there is an excessive lack of respect from many young people today. That is not a respectful way to dress and they could do better/more mature things to show their individuality. Set standards at the schools & if a student violates the standards they will then be required to wear a school uniform for 90 days. Every principal should have a military background to ensure strict enforcement of standards!

except for the military background I could just see it now "Drop down and gime 20" but in any case this is what I am talking about, it all starts with kids. If they start dressing respectfully and acting respectfully from that age then we can over generations get back to the kind of standards that were set earlier where children did not talk back to parents did not go killing parents do not steal and lie but an educated society. Look at Europe once again, granted they do not have all the luxuries we do here but they are also not spoiled, they know how to appreciate what they have, they value money and are not loose like some are here. Of course its not like that everywhere and you have your bad in every culture and country but it starts from the hospital the day you are born and if parents cant do it right someone has to.

So x54.4blue you believe everyone should just do what they want, whenever they want to whom ever they want. Mob ( Democratic rule). Correct?

First off, Blondboisd is 21...just barely out of his teenage years. His reasoning makes sense to teenagers not to parents. We should forget and forgive what he says, my eldest son is turning 20. As a parent of 4 teenage children 19,17,15,12 I know what it takes to guide your children to the right paths even though I have hard times doing so. As for teenage boys, I am sure they will survive the peer pressure in their teenage years as they grow up. Just like other parents, I am worried more for my 12 year-old daughter who is more vulnerable to the peer pressure. Anyway, all 4 of them have cellphones and I wish the school they attend require uniforms. Giving kids cellphones is sometimes unneccessary but then I know I will have a hold of them whenever I want and sometimes it happens that I call them right where it needed most. If you know what I mean. Applause to the parents in this forum.

I'm 24 so you can say just out of my teenage years as well and what he says is complete non-sence

And you should be. Here's a good reason why. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060902/...t/naked_town_1
