I don't think all this information is going to harm tommorows generation .. What I think does do more harm than good is the system and the way it operates. It's so broke down and the information I see being handed thru the system to kids shows lack of respect towards parents trying to parent. Let alone teachers trying to teach. Makes it harder than hell to control a child when the system stands behind the child and gives them all these rights. Hell they have more rights than any parent does. We have the right to face the consequences for the things our kids do wrong.

Can't correct your child without fear of your child turning on you and claiming abuse. Your kid can steal from you and police don't do shit but look at ya tell you how foolish you are for bringing your kid in.. thats your kid. Nothing they can do.

Your kid has a right to break anything in the house as long as it's a room your child has access to everyday. They can punch holes in the wall. Even if they feel they want to knock the whole damn wall down. They can because they live in your house. Thier home.. your house. Tell me how is that right? Kids have more rights over your own house than you do?

From experince my one son learned he could get by with anything. The system was there to protect everything wrong he did. He learned he didn't have to work for anything. It was already there being given to him right on a silver platter. It wasn't until he got sent to a boys state training school did it finally sink in the system was no longer on his side. His comment before going was he never thought the system would do that to him. He had played it for many years. Had the system stood behind me as a parent years before this. Maybe.. just maybe. My child would have turned out to be in a little better position in life than he has been and still is..instead of kicked out at 18 ..no job and toking daily. Whatever job he may get he will have to bust his ass at for the rest of his life. Unless he should have a light go off in his brain somewhere and take advantage of having his GED. And go to college. Then he may have half a chance. I love him .. he's my son .. but I hate having to sit back and watch him learn the hard way. It just kills me inside. And I blame the system. I was a parent willing to work with the system and system wasn't there to work with me as a parent.

I think having all this information is good. Kids are smarter it seems than yesterdays generation. Bad part is they know it.
Used in the right way all the information can be great. I see more young adults anymore that are successful faster in life establishing themselves in the work world. As well as it seems that more kids are in college. For those reasons I think access to information has done wonders just how do you change the system to work with the parents of those kids that are obtaining the information they use to manipulate their way through life.
