I think partly that todays youth is mentally weak by lack of discipline in the home.  Not many kids are tasked with household chores, set at the table to do homework with mom or dad, to be punished when punishment is in order.  Kids today wake up late, drink a can of soda, attempt to dress up for school, "forget" their school work and and show up late to class to be awarded a tardy sheet that the student says to hell with that and tosses it in the trash and ignores the teacher- and gets away with it.  All day the student does nothing but screw around, maybe have dirty thoughts of the math teacher, show the girl next to him something obscene.  After a long hard day of that the kid gets home late cause he went skateboarding someplace his parents didnt know where and smoked a little pot.  Gets home, goes the fridge grabs a bowl of miracle whip and eats half of it and puts it back then gets a sack of potato chips heads to his room to watch the idiot box (Televison) for a while and maybe watch a porn or four, then climbs onto this desk and plays something like Hl2 or FEAR till like 3 am and falls asleep only to get woke up by the garbage man smashing the trash around.  Mom and dad ask how things are going on saturday morning and the little brat will of course say "Really good,  I learned in math last week..."   BTW this kid is really fat...  like most the growing obeseity  problem in this country due to its lazy effortless citizens.

There you go.  The average life of most modern day highschoolers.  The glory of all this is that these immature undisciplined monsters will eventually run this country... into the ground I fear.  When your all supervisors, these little pricks will be hitting the lazy force and youll be tasked with making sure that days quota gets met, so I hope your still strong when your 45.   Were on our own here.  Im done.

I got my first C this year because I played too much video games.  But I would never ever, play enough video games to fail school, or even a course.
