They aren't. Crime is down. Underage drinking and drug use is down. Less underage pregnancy. More people are completing secondary. Anyone who says kids are worse hasn't looked at the numbers.
Yeah that's typically how it works. People default to complaining and seeing everything as getting worse all the time.
I wonder if the "feral child" phenomenon has actually increased though (I don't think there would be stats) and if that has something to do with the lower crime rate.
Not that it's good to let your child be a feral nuisance. But if a child has shitty parents maybe that's better for their development than whatever abuse the parents would choose to control it.

A vsauce so good
How's that relate to feral children though ? Which i take as "badly behaved in public" . It could just be shifting baseline syndrome which is what the meme sortof intimates o.e bad behavior today is accepted but back in the day it wasn't.
Not suggesting onw way or the other if children are less well behaved pubicially but your refutation seems a staw clutch ?
Meh, teenagers are legal children. That's the only hard evidence we have.
