Walk into any classroom today and you’ll see kids running wild while teachers struggle to keep order. Parents used to raise children with structure and respect. Now they’re too busy being “best friends” with their kids to set rules. The results are plain to see—a generation of entitled, out-of-control youth.
Kids today don’t understand “no.” Permissive parents let them eat junk food all day, skip homework, and talk back to adults. Without discipline, these children grow up thinking rules don’t apply to them. They throw tantrums when they don’t get their way because they’ve never faced consequences.
Schools are drowning in behavior problems. Teachers report students cursing, hitting, and ignoring instructions daily. These kids can’t sit still or focus because their parents never taught them self-control. Liberal ideals about “gentle parenting” leave classrooms chaotic and learning impossible.
Academic standards keep dropping as parents prioritize feelings over achievement. Kids raised without expectations quit when work gets hard. They expect trophies for just showing up. Real-world employers won’t coddle them—these children become adults who can’t hold jobs.
Drug use and crime surge among directionless youth. Teens with no boundaries experiment earlier and riskier. Permissive parents look the other way when they find vapes or stolen items. They’d rather be liked than protect their children from life-wrecking choices.
Mental health crises skyrocket in this rudderless generation. Kids raised without structure feel constant anxiety. They lack coping skills because parents never let them face normal struggles. Now schools hire extra counselors while woke activists blame “society” instead of bad parenting.
Family dinners and bedtimes disappeared. Screen-addicted kids stay up all night watching inappropriate content. Parents afraid to say “off the computer” create zombies who can’t hold conversations. Real connection dies when devices replace discipline.
America needs a return to tough love. Strong families built this country through faith, hard work, and respect. Parents must reclaim their role as leaders—not buddies—before this generation destroys itself. The future depends on adults who dare to say “Because I said so” again.
