Granted, but you're being pretty nasty to today's teens, aren't you?

I mean, this is a different age, which means different problems.  Our 
*world* has problems nobody ever would've dreamed of in the 30s and 40s. 
That affects the kids, too.  Sure, they've got more material stuff, but a 
good portion of that often seems like compensation for the lack of a 
relatoinship.  I teach high school (and some junior high.)  Things have 
changed just since I was in their place some 20-25 years ago.  And those 
changes are not for the better.
