We're raising a bunch of non-functional, ***** kids these days. Parents aren't allowed to spank their kids anymore. Hell, when I was a kid I'd rather fight every kid in school than I would have my mom after me.
I was bullied by an older kid when I was in 7th grade. I wound up hitting him in the head with a large stick. He never picked on me again. I did not go and shoot up the entire school or stab random students. We were allowed to fight our own battles. When you had a beef with another kid, you met at the flagpole after school and boxed, you didn't pull out a gun and shoot the other kid. We didn't whack ourselves because someone called us fat or stupid or ugly. You were actually allowed to call someone names when we were kids. It wasn't looked at as being "insensitive."
When we got out of line our parents cracked us in the head or whooped us with a belt. We knew we had it coming and we took our punishment. Sometimes we took a bite off of a bar of soap because we cussed. Sometimes I had to stand still while my sister got to hit me back.
When we were kids, there were consequences. My mom put fear into me. It's what kept me in line until I was old enough to figure it out on my own.
Kids nowadays know that there's nothing that anyone can do to them. A few days ago some idiot kid near here pulled out a sack of weed in class to sell to a classmate. The teacher tried to take the pot away from the kid and a physical confrontation ensued. The teacher was suspended, pending an investigation. There was public outcry on social media in support of the teacher. Who the hell raises a ******* kid that thinks it's ok to sell drugs in class??? The kid figured the teacher couldn't do anything to stop him. The kid was arrested for assaulting a school official and for possession of marijuana.
Sadly enough, IMO, society is responsible for these random mass attacks.
