“The place is very well and quiet and the children only scream in a low voice.” - Lord Byron

Our society has become too politically correct. Sometimes we put those "correct" values even higher than established human values, respected by predecessors. We are more worried about our rights than about the important values that everyone needs to know in order to be accepted and survive within the society.

Our children grow up without knowing what is right and what is wrong. They are not taught the difference at schools. They have their own values of the crowd. They are influenced by the stronger class mate, celebrity culture, and media. They do not really know how to exist within the society and whom to respect. Their parents are too busy to earn that daily bread or too lazy to think about their own off springs. That's how we get to live in a society where people do not care about each other.

The kids grow up rude and aggressive. They create so-called lost generation. We, adults, fear to meet a gang of teenagers on the streets after the sun has set. Does not it remind you a scene from a horror movie? You are more or less safe while the sun is out and there is a bright daylight. Be aware of the creatures of the night after the sunset. It is our children we fear, it is our future generation that we cannot trust and control any longer.

They are protected by children's rights and by human rights. The do not respect anyone, either old ages, young children, future mothers, disabled or their own family members. They know that they cannot be punished; they do not fear either police or their own fathers.

They grow up ignorant and violent because they simply do not know any other ways to express themselves. They are bored and have nothing else to do. It's easier to be bad than to be good. They have so many examples of bad behavior, such as celebrities, who always get drunk, do drugs and do not respect anyone. And there are also gang members, drug dealers, unemployed, drug/alcohol addicts, who are always eager to show our kids how to join their "club".

At the moment, things are clearly getting worse, but there is always a hope. I believe that if our kids had some places to go to after school, if they were interested in something, had a hobby that their parents would not have to pay for they would not be as hostile and uncontrollable.
