RE: What's happened to the kids today? So much violence.

I think a lot of it has to do with recording stuff for fame. I know what you mean about the pressure to be tough in front of a crowd so I don't look foolish but in my day and I presume yours there was never any video evidence. These days people who want to become internet famous will do awful things to other people even if what they are filming is illegal. After all, it isn't them in the video so they can't be prosecuted.

I totally agree with this. There was no real method of recording anything when I was in high school and the internet didn't yet exist. There was no motivation to attempt to achieve fame by causing harm to another person. The fact that people that DO do this are rewarded sometimes financially also says a lot about today's society. I seriously want to retire on a farm far away from society.
