What has gone wrong with kids these days?

Have you noticed a change in how children as little as 8 years old and up have changed over the years?  Now I am not talking about all children and teenagers. It seems to me that there is a vast majority of kids that have no respect for anything. No respect for authority, No respect for adults, no respect for property, and no respect for themselves.  What matters to them is what is on Youtube and Myspace. How to become famous and what to do when there bored and not infront of the video games and internet. Back in the day kids hung out and played sports or tag or a varity of other things. We did not have Internet, 500 channels on TV or cell phones. 

For example, I live in a community in Florida.  In the past year we have had kids vandlisze our community pool over and over again where it is not even enjoyable to go to.  Here is a list of what has been done: Sawing off the legs all of the chairs and lounge chairs. Throwing picnic table in the pool. Breaking thru the fence to get in the pool because they don’t have a key. Destroying the bathrooms by throwing shit around(literally), taking out the toilet and sink, Leaving drug needles and breaking the bathroom doors. Don’t kids have something better to do then screw with the pool the is suppose to be enjoyable for over 300 houses. We are now having to close the pool early and actually have residents kick people out. They get treated with abuse, language and treats of violence.  This is not how kids are supposed to act. They are supposed to respect property and adults.

Where does this come from? Parents? Peers? School? 

I could go on and on but I will start there… I welcome any thoughts.

p.s.  I am not an old fart. I’m a 32 year old man that was just brought up decent and I don’t want my investment ruined.
