I agree with you that todays parents show a marked increase displaying an attitude that says their children are an inconvenience to them and its easier to give them what they want or give them some kind of drug so they don't have to deal with them. They dont spend nearly enough time with their children. It may also be a good thing that you decided not to become a teacher. You show some signs of immatureity in that you seem unable to express yourself without using vulgar slang. Respect and consideration have lost their meaning in todays world. So many people show a me me me attitude and dont really care if it bothers anyone else. This is displayed all the time in TV shows and movies and very much so in video games. All people should be aware of how their actions impact others around them. Everyone needs to consider What will be the consequences of my actions? Before any actions are taken. If everyone did that it would be a better world.
