The State Of The Nation
As has already been mentioned, its all done to a subset of parents failing to actually do the parenting, and its not their fault, they never got any parenting when they were young, and neither did their parents. It all tracks back to the parents of the 60s-70s abdicating their responsibilities, so the kids grow up with messages of free love and no parenting skills, so we have teenage pregnancies, and indiciplined kids, and accelerating generations in this group, those that did have values and parenting get, fewer and harder to identify and we end up where we are today.
There is no good way to fix it, there is no subsititue for propper parenting, the state can legislate, but doesn't have the reach or power to enforce it, Schools can try, but if its not re-inforced at home, there is little they can do, so we end up in either a nanny State or a Anarchistic Dystopia.
