Default You answered your own question

Lack of respect. Since they have been born," experts " have been telling these little jerks that the only thing that matters is their " self esteem". So, parents and teachers have all been doing nothing but telling them how "special" they are. Why they are so special, they don't even have to practice or be good at anything. "Just show up....you're special". We weren't much into vandelism as kids because we knew how hard our parents worked to get things and how hard we had to work to get things. Gee, imagine this....you actually had to work your way into the starting rotation in Dixie Youth League. You didn't get to play because you showed up. Wouldn't want to hurt the little darlings "self esteem" by making them earn their way up....just give it to them. Sad state and getting worse. In contrast though, look at those youths in Afghanistan and Iraq. They give me hope for the future.
