I fear that my generation will fail Due to Bad use of technology, And lack of parenting?

I notice that more mothers and fathers are working now because some families are struggling and having hardships, and some want to make a better income. This is also giving time away from there children and telling them right from wrong and actually disciplining them to become a better person, I'm not sure if this has had any effect. I also notice that in my school a good 6/10 dress and act like thugs, And another ten percent aren't that bad, But still need more guidance. I notice that technology has advanced so much, and from what I have witnessed(Everyday) kids take there iphones, and electronic devices to school and focus on there electronics rather then there education. When kids focus on there electronics rather then there future to be honest this bothers me deeply, I feel sad thinking about it. The school dress codes aren't strict as they use to be and kids show cleavage, and wear short short's and no one cares. Every school I travel to for sports, I see kids act and look like thugs. At my school I know a good majority of students who do drugs, And there parents are licensed doctors, Nurses, And so on. I'm not old enough to understand how it was from the 50s,60s, and 70s, But I'm sure the generations there were much better.

Added (1). I have read a article earlier, That plenty of people now even healthier then me are depending on welfare. Much more then they depended on it back then.

Who cares, all that matters is that you're living good

  • What would you do in this parenting situation? You just got out of Walmart. Your 14-year old son calls and says he broke his iPhone case and you need to buy him a new one in case if he drops it and you'll have to pay for it. You also tell him you're getting a hamburger pizza for him and he said he didn't want hamburger. He's making kind of a big deal out of it, too.
  • Technology addiction and lack of sleep? Please help me! I can't stop looking at the computer and when I don't have a computer, my phone or ipad is out and I'm using it! Every night I stay up until 3am on the computer or ipad or iphone. I try to stop but I can't! Also when I have homework on the computer, I end up doing anything but my homework! I stay up until midnight or 1am on school nights!
  • Parenting problems- hoping for 2nd marriage. My kids are older well adjusted adults. My husbands daughter is 14. What he does is Non parenting to the extreme. Her highest grade is 42. He says nothing. She doesn't have to do hhomework, she cursed him & does nothing around the house. Yet he lavishes her w/ Uggs, iPad, iPhone & even high end vacations. I'm confused & angry. I've said all that can be said- he replies - she'll be fine
