Time that used to be taken up doing chores involving the survival of the family unit. Time that used to be managed by adults of the family and neighboring adults. It may be a reach but, with the inundation of "DO YOUR OWN THING" by Madison avenues'and others advertising, the adults can't be bothered with children. With two jobs or double incomes so they can buy the things told that they need for the good life. So they pack them off to school as fast as posible to be babysat by the school Districts or stuck in front of the TV to occupy them with commercials, saying what they must have, interspersed by cartoons. Chores that were expected to be done became a drudgery that had to be paid for at higher and higher allowances so life could be enjoyed. Then Teens somehow got rights? Parents no longer were held responsible for their childrens actions. So teens and now tweens didn't know what to do with these freedoms and money but, what else than find kicks and defy adults telling them what they can't do? This is ONLY my opinion!

It may be a reach but, with the inundation of “DO YOUR OWN THING” by Madison avenues’and others advertising, the adults can’t be bothered with children. With two jobs or double incomes so they can buy the things told that they need for the good life.
