Sorry about what happened to you and your girlfriend...i agree people's morals get lower with every generation in my opinion, I'm 19 a sophmore in college and there are some kids that i wonder how their parents must be if that's the way they act. Kids are drinking at a younger age, smoking pot at a younger age...i feel like kids/teenagers are given an inch and they take a mile and parents don't really do anything about it...when i lived in Mexico and even when i moved here if i did something wrong i would get a spanking...not like bruising and all that but i feel that that's part of the reason i am how i am, all parents do now is just put their kids in time out and take away their toys...there's a differecne between child abuse and discipline, it doesn't make you a bad person if you want to discipline your child. Rant over.
