Quite obviously all the problems in the world today have been caused by the baby boomers and now Gen Y are making things worse and poor old Gen X is just caught in the middle.

i agree with the peer group being the most important aspect of childrens development, but the parent has an extremely important role to play in how the child relates to others within that peer group.

if the parent teaches the child self-respect, confidence, and encourages their self-worth then they will enter their peer groups from a position of strength and be less likely to compromise themselves for the group. for example so many young girls these days act like wh0res because they don't have a sense of self-worth and tie their value into their sexuality instead of their intellect and personality. i see smart young girls get treated like toys by complete douchebag guys because they don't value themselves highly enough.

this sense of self-value should be instilled by the parents (the father especially imo) so the child enters peer groups from a position of confidence and strength.

disclaimer - i don't have kids so this is theorycrafting.

p.s. bring back corporal punishment

Groups of people will enjoy their smokes, their Football, Their tattos, their piercings and will forever debate over their preference of Holdens and/or Fords and there is no way in HELL anyone from my reality will make them understand how stupid they are ..

It is perfectly normal and within their reality for them to buy Smokes, drink coca cola, Watch and enjoy Football or get the latest Tattoe of a Rose / Love heart etc etc HELL even an eyebrow piercing or two is a normal experience..

Here I am with my reality saying " WTF ?????????????? " to all of the above ..
