Kids today don't know how to handle adversity. Their solution to life kicking them in the balls is to curl up in the fetal position and give up.
It's how they were raised.

We've ALWAYS had guns in this country.
What's changed is liberals destroyed the nuclear family, and taught people that human life is meaningless and worthless.
Then on top of that, you force feed psychotic drugs to kids, tell them they are the root of all evil, remove God from society, and then wonder why they act out and kill people...
I guess I need a Rule #3: Liberals don't understand the repercussions of their policies.

David Hogg says Second Amendment 'intentionally misinterpreted' to protect individual rights (msn.com)
(Full article at above link)
Gun control activist David Hogg recently stated that the Founding Fathers never intended the 2nd Amendment to protect an individual’s right to own a gun. Hogg wrote a Twitter thread on Sunday insisting that historians and law professors have informed him that the law was "intentionally misinterpreted" away from its intention to "protect state militias." "After reading about the history of the second amendment and talking with a lot of hist & law professors- I believe the second amendment has been intentionally misinterpreted. It was never meant as an individual right it was created to protect state militias like the national guard," Hogg tweeted.
He continued, "It says well-regulated militia for a reason. The ‘shall not be infringed’ part means the federal government is not allowed to forcibly disarm state militias. I’m not alone in this interpretation. Over 100 years of jurisprudence back me up on this."
He added, "To those who don’t agree that’s fine- you are entitled to your own opinion and I’m still ready to work with you on what we can agree on. Disagreement and hatred are not the same thing."
"When I graduate, I will be running for office. And I will win. Things will change, I promise you that."
Most dangerous weapon a human has is their personal brain against a social mindset. Honest brain only has to beat reasonable doubt.
come on up...try and break into my castle, and test your theory, *** hole.

Kids need to understand at an early age that you lose a hell of a lot more than you win, instead of the opposite. Let the kids scrape their knees instead of throwing a pillow under their asses all the time. Life isn't "fair", and they need to know this right out of the gate.
What we are seeing today in society is a direct reflection of how we, as a society, have been raising our kids for the last couple of decades. We are effectively raising a generation of narcissists, and it shows.
This problem has been YEARS in the making, and can't be corrected overnight, if it can be corrected at all. Even if it can't be righted, saying "**** it" isn't a solution

I know that I certainly had to get my knees scraped and my eyes blackened as a child, Anything less than maximum effort was not tolerated. My father was not afraid to have corporal punishment as one of his go-to parenting tools. If I said I didn't LIKE broccoli, by dad would simply say, "You don't have to like it, just eat it". I was taught to be polite to all adults and to be respectful of all females, even if they kicked me in the shins. I was taught that B's were not acceptable. I used to get dropped off at the Y by my mom in the afternoon for swim practice and would walk from the Y to my dad's law office and wait for him to drive me home. There used to be a guy that had a little fold up suitcase opened on a little table on the sidewalk outside that office building and he was selling neckties. When we'd come outside, after we walked by the guy to a point where we were out of earshot, my dad would say, "If you don't finish in the top ten in your class and get into a good college, you're gonna end up selling ties on the street corner". I was "allowed" to fail, but failure was never an acceptable outcome. But above all, it was constantly drilled into my head that my parents could forgive many things, but lying was not one of them. Telling the truth was THE rule above all others.
Minus the corporal punishment and minus the mealtime trauma, I have raised my three children pretty much the same way, All three are successful. All three are good citizens, good spouses, good friends, and good employees. They all obey the law and they all have great relationships with their parents. I fully expect them all to be great parents as they move into that phase of their lives.
So I, personally, haven't seen a lot of overly entitled kids in MY life, but all of my kids are grown adults and if any of their childhood friends DID have a sense of entitlement and narcissism back then, either I didn't see it, or I have long since let it slip my mind.
The overriding question is, however.... If you ARE right, and if society has raised self-entitled, weak willed, narcissists for decades, how in the world can we ever fix it?
If we really are as bad as you say, then I wasn't far from wrong yesterday when I posted, "Après nous, le déluge", was I?

A good bit of that has been lost between our generation and the next unfortunately, and the snowball is rolling into the current generation.
Too many parents these days are trying to be a friend" to their young children instead of a parent... that, or they are simply absent and letting the Xbox or the smartphone (or even worse the education system) raise their kids for them.
Every parent wants their kids to have better than they did, that's only natural... but when the parents had it pretty easy to begin with, what is "better" than that? If mom and dad are constantly throwing pillows under their kids asses all the way into adulthood, then as adults, the kids have no concept of how to handle adversity in adulthood. Couple this with a society that preaches "life must be fair for all" and you end up with a generation of young adults that have a very skewed and false sense of reality, and when they fail, they can't handle it.
Then, they just give up.
