Children spend most of their time outside (school/friends ect..)One thing I'd like to point out that most people don't realize, is the fact that a large portion of a child's behavior and attitude stems from how their parents raise them. (Or grandparents or whoever) Don't get me wrong I'm not saying that's the only reason for a child's behavior, but it is a significant portion of it.
So I can't help but find it kind of funny and hypocritical when adults (parents) start talking about how, "oh this generation is bla bla bla, this and that" and "in my days I would've this and that" Okay, so why don't you try enstowing your ohsogreat morals and lifestyle to your child like you should, as a parent, if they are so morally right and great.
But again, don't get me wrong, I agree with the poem and that today's generation is a... hot mess for lack of a better term, and is slowly; no, quickly going down a steep hill. I just wanted to point out parents criticizing the same generation they are raising is pretty hypocritical.
I must say , from my point of view , it's not only parents but also the media to be the cause of this madness in mentality.

Today's generation is a mess. I don't agree with everything the poem says. Mainly the part about kids getting beaten, and nothing being said about it. If a kid comes to school with a scratch, there's practically a full-fledged investigation mounted on the parents/guardians and family/friends who live with the child. People are afraid to lay a hand on their kids, these days. This is part of the problem, in my honest opinion. I am not advocating child abuse, but I am advocating "physical" discipline. My parents beat me when I did something wrong, and that is how I learned right from wrong. You can't "talk" to your kids to discipline them. Part of the human learning process, when it comes to right and wrong, is the idea of the "shock collar". You made a mess and didn't clean it up, smack, so you know whenever you make a mess without cleaning it up, you're going to get smacked. You throw a temper tantrum in the middle of the store, smack, so you know whenever you throw a tantrum in a store, you're going to get smacked. Obviously, this stops working at some point, but it teaches kids how to make decent decisions and how not to be a spoiled Ducking brat.
Kids do not know right from wrong. No matter how old they are. I don't even fully know right from wrong. I'd say until you're around 25 (sometimes later than that), you will not completely understand right from wrong. This is an element that can only be taught by those raising you at a young age, and eventually you start learning it the hard way.
Kids are smoking and doing drugs because they think it is cool. They don't feel an immediate harm from smoking or doing drugs, so they don't see a problem with it. The kids around them, who probably weren't raised right, start doing it and they pass it onto each other. Kids are cutting themselves because they are selfish and seeking attention. (Of course, that isn't every situation, but it is most of them). These kids want 24/7 attention from their parents, teachers, friends, family, etc. That's what sometimes leads them to kill themselves because they feel it is the only way to achieve that maximum attention. Even if it is only for a short period of time. Yet, these kids don't realize how wrong and how selfish it is to kill yourself. They don't realize that it will cause serious problems in their family. They don't realize that their parents have no choice but to blame themselves, and it could possibly push them to go kill themselves. Parents get divorced mainly because of terrible timing. In most cases, they got married way too early and they were not right for each other in the first place.
Lesson: Beat your kids. jk lol but people don't know how to raise their kids anymore especially with the way society makes them feel about physically disciplining their kids.
-rant over-
"Disgusting" is a kid who has absolutely no respect for the world and their parents. If smacking the kid will teach them respect, then by all means, do it. I've said, I do not advocate child abuse. There's no way for me to explain it without being an idiot. However, from what I've seen a spoiled brat is usually the bi-product of a parent who is too afraid to hit their kids.This is disgusting, you're basically saying a good parent is a parent who beats their child to prove a point.. jeez
There's no one person or group to blame though. At a young age (Ages 1-10), the people who are usually to blame are the parents. Note that I said USUALLY because that is not always the case, but it is usually the case. Some people just are not cut out to be parents or mature enough to be parents. How can a kid take care of a kid the same way a mature adult can? That's not to say that ALL young parents are unfit to take of their children, but it is not the best way to raise a child.Ask yourself something; for those of you who are apart of the older generation (25 and up) - How could you discipline your children in a way were they aren't thinking that you don't care for them and resort to stupid things such as drinking, smoking dope, and cutting.
I'm 18, yet I grew up in such an independent way, that I laugh at my generation, because a lot of my generation is screwed. I took my studies seriously, I didn't get into pointless relationships and I certainly didn't let bullying affect me because I was different...However, that doesn't mean I am perfect, I had a terrible home life, and it's thanks to people who want to claim my generation is screwed, when... a lot of the older generation made it that way.
I don't want to put the blame on ANY person - the facts are there though, a lot of my generation can't go to college, a lot of my generation has no respect, and a lot of my generation just DO NOT care, because of the baby-boomer generation and the way the government and economy has been handled by the 'adults' of that generation.
I've seen more idiocy out of a full-grown adult, who wants to believe he is young enough to party and have fun, when in reality he is 52 years old and looks like a shriveled prune from smoking 4 packs of cigarettes a day.
My generation has it's faults, but you can't blame us for the way a lot of the world views America (and I say America because that is my nationality and that is literally the worst place for some things.. No other poor family in another nation would be the most obese)
Take a step back and look at your own actions - if you believe yourself to be in the clear, take no heed to my statement, if you know you have faults, work on them.
This is all opinionated and to further step into the debate culture, what could you as a responsible person do for yourself and for the people around you instead of blaming others?

Christian.
Dr. Tran Tien said:The cause of many weight issues in a modern society is insulin dysfunction. A diet grossly disproportionate in its share of saturated fats and sugars, such as in breads, cereals, muffins, cakes, pastries, pasta, pizza, rice, corn - very much like the North American diet - causes the pancreas to produce an overabundance of insulin, which stays in the system and puts the blood sugar level in a negative balance."
An overproduction of insulin may lead to hypoglycemia or low glycemia, which in turn may induce constant sugar cravings and weight gain. One of Insulin’s primary functions is to regulate blood sugar levels, however, it is also the hormone that facilitates the transport of fat (triglycerides) into the fat cells. Even worse, it "locks" the fat into the fat cell, preventing it from being used as a source of energy. Now, because the blood sugar has dropped (and we can’t access the fat as a fuel source) it creates "sugar cravings' and the vicious cycle begins again. In other words, an over abundance of insulin can cause weight gain.
