What do you think of the morals of the kid's today?When I was growing up,the thought of messing around was something for older people.Girls that had messed around were the "bad girl's". We got married first,then had kid's.These "babies having babies " today is terrible I think.We grand parent's or parent's end up taking care of these new babies,and it's not fair to us.Like the old saying goes,if you want to play,you gotta pay. What do you think??

i think kids today had it easy. everything to them are easy. rules are being violated because of lax in the system. punishment are not swift enough or hard enough. i think the community and the school system has failed somewhere in educating kids about responsiblities and consequences of their actions. music, movies, tv, and even video games has contributed to moral decay. There are not even enough good role model for kids to look up to. if kids today are old enough to do deed, then they are old enough to take on the responsibilities.

When the government said we couldn't spank the kid's to teach them,I don't mean beat them black and blue,but a spank,that did it.When a kid can call 911 on parent's that try to teach them right from wrong,there's something wrong.Now look at the result's.Prisons' are full,kid's running wild,etc. I got spanked when I was a kid,and I'm glad today. I'm 64 and never been to jail,or got into trouble.

I think kids have fewer and fewer morals these days. I blame tv on a lot of it. The way they have children talking to their parents is awful. No wonder kids say and do whatever they want
