In this case I'm referring to what ever group you happen to think of as "bad" kids who wear their pants down, 20 year old with bad spelling, current famous musical artist etc.
It's pretty much tradition for the old generation to complain about the new one, not that any or all complaint are unfounded or not, it just always happens like that. those born in the 30's complained about the 50's and 60's. those in the 60's the 80's and 90's etc.
I've always wondered who do you blame for it? I mean to me its clear you cant blame the new generation with out blaming the old.
Let's start with their upbringing, one of the most common explanations for "bad generation" It's the parents fault, they after all raised the kid, but is it not those parents own parents job to raise them so they could raise their own children right? Who really failed here? If the parents fail as parents them self dose it fall on their parents? Do we blame the kids?

How about music? Kids today listen to all sorts of music but who makes, sells, and produces the music? the Generation from before.

How about education? Whose to blame for the spelling and grammar? The last generation teaches the new one. However, the new one texts etc greatly reduces their skills.


No right or wrong answer here, I'm just wondering how you see it when it comes to why you feel a generation is "worse"

My personal opinion is the blame lays with the older people who voted to keep property and other taxes down while neglecting to fund the public school system because their own privileged kids could afford to attend private school and they had no concern about the fate of the public school kids. Now the economic gap between the rich and the poor has broadened so much it is tearing at the very fabric of our society - leading poor kids to feel disadvantaged and outcast - to the point there is a real risk of widespread civil unrest in some communities.
