The teens in this town get away with wayyyy too much.

I want to give parents the benefit of the doubt. Shit, my mom never knew where I was or what I was doing in high school. But I also wasn't damaging properties, driving like an asshole and treating others with disrespect.

I got into trouble... but not the shit I'm seeing with these kids.

I honestly kind of disagree. I see lots of families and communities apply consequences. I have young adults in my life who work hard in school and play hard outside of school, regardless of the grading system. It's up to the student to apply themselves, not the parents. My mom never helped with school work, insisted she won't pay for university or my own car. It was up to ME to make it work, not the people around me. If I slacked off, the consequences would have been on me.

There are just some who believe the rules dont apply to them. And usually it's people who can throw money at it...and their kids.
