out of control teens

I find it difficult to comprehend why teenagers are so disrespectful. Their attitude stinks and their behaviour is totally unacceptable.

I used to think it was the parents although I still believe that in some cases it is not always true.

There are the parents that drink and smoke cannabis and are so out of it they don’t know where their children are or even care but there are also the parents who go out and work hard and give everything for their children and still it is not enough.

Is it because there is a lack of discipline in schools even if we as parents teach our children right from wrong and punish them when they misbehave and reward them when they are good they have had it drummed into their heads that you can’t touch them and don’t seem to know the difference between a hit and a smack.

Studies show that smacking your children teaches violence but how is that when I was a child we were smacked which never done us any harm and now we don’t tend to use smacking as a punishment they are more violent and aggressive than ever before.
