thats why kids are usualy teached "everything in moderation"

E.g. Social media? Check

Can you imagine not hearing Ram Ranch until 18?

tbh inceasing lack of basic behavior/self-control teachings from home has been quite alarming

so really if someone is to be looked at its current and upcoming parents

That's because increasingly, people are expecting morality to be legislated instead of culturally ingrained

not the kids who are showing symptoms now

The zoomer generation basically grows* up in abundance, so them teaching their kids moderation is gonna be an exercise in futility

Why teach your kids not to be weird little coomers when you can just sign away more of your rights to the government so they can do it for you

Contrast to the boomer gen, the actual boomer generation born post ww2

Those were born in a world where everything was basically destroyed and had to be rebuild

i sincerely hope people like matthew who are upcoming parents will see some effort to it honestly

as person who still needs to report stuff to social services if i happen to be in volunteer shift anywhere this shit breaks me time to time

specialy if laws are ridiculous like "every case of alcohol use by minors needs to be reported"

what buts social workers and their aides to shiittty position

@Magnius >romanticizing being a boomer

HAHAHAHA no

where you pretty much forced to take either grey area illegal "i didnt see shit general" attitude or report them to child services

what forces childservices hand to contact the family and have investigation

from fucking single beer if person is under 18

no "personal judgement" according to law

but in reality ofc it happens alot

"You know what's a good idea? Not letting people experience intoxication until they're legally liable for their actions, maybe financially independent, and in a vulnerable setting with people their own age with similarly bad judgment"

all this due parents inability to teach kids some decency and sanity fucking hell

"oh shit oh fuck they're drunk driving and getting date raped oh shit"

16+ is legaly liable here all things but sexual*

*:court decides that incase of any problems if htey are liable or not case by case basis

Unironically if there was no legal drinking age, I think drinking as a whole would decrease, because it would be demystified

yep and it has been even seen in studies and what not

sure there is always the "problem ones" in statistics

Smoking was never as popular among teens as it was when it was socially taboo for them to be doing it

but those are gonna be there either way

As it stands, with our legal drinking age being 21, it's culturally expected that you'll get super drunk on your 21st birthday

Good times.

Not romanticizing boomers, just noticing the difference between gen Z and babyboomers

They were born in a post ww2 world, where basically everything had to rebuild. Which is at the core of their collective thinking.
Everything a boomer has/had was basically by hard work

Gen Z doesn't have that

Not necessarily bad, just different
