Permissive parenting has created a generation of kids with no respect for authority or personal responsibility. Parents who refuse to set rules are raising entitled children who can’t handle basic challenges. These kids grow up thinking the world owes them everything without effort.
Children raised without discipline struggle to control their emotions or behavior. They throw tantrums when told “no” and can’t handle normal frustrations. This lack of self-control leads to aggression and problems making friends who get tired of their selfish attitudes.
School performance suffers because permissive parents don’t enforce study habits or responsibility. Kids raised without structure frequently skip homework and disrespect teachers. They develop a dangerous sense of academic entitlement, expecting good grades without doing the work.
Many of these children turn to drugs and alcohol earlier than their peers. Without learning proper impulse control at home, they make reckless choices that destroy lives. Parents who try to be “cool” instead of responsible become enablers of destructive behavior.
Social skills are collapsing under this parenting style. Kids never learn empathy or how to consider others’ feelings. They dominate conversations, ignore boundaries, and struggle to keep jobs or relationships as adults.
The mental health crisis in young people ties directly to this lack of guidance. Children raised without clear boundaries feel insecure and lost. They lack the coping skills to handle stress, leading to anxiety and depression when real-world challenges arise.
Society pays the price through increased crime and disrespect for institutions. Kids who grow up without consequences for bad behavior become adults who test legal boundaries. Communities see more vandalism, theft, and violence from youth who’ve never been held accountable.
America needs parents to reclaim their role as leaders, not friends. Children thrive with clear rules, consistent discipline, and expectations to contribute. Strong families built on responsibility and respect can still save this generation from total collapse.
