Paging Dr Kwillia
.... The internet and instant gratification has ruined them....
Maybe parents are too busy for the kids. Kids need to feel like someone cares for them. Sending them to therapy makes a parent feel like they're doing the right thing, but they don't have to be bothered.
The fact is this generation has not been ruined by anything - They are just different from the previous generations. They will do just fine as have all the generations before them.
In my lifetime I have heard that "this generation" has been ruined by: Comic books, Television, Rock and Roll, etc, etc, etc, The fact is this generation has not been ruined by anything - They are just different from the previous generations. They will do just fine as have all the generations before them. However, many of them will believe that future generations are being ruined by whatever new technologies, social customs, etc evolve in the decades to come.
