Frustrating as it is Cliff, its also sad. Kids today seem to get bored so easily. With single parent famillies or both parents working to support them, they are left to themselves, or their peers, to raise themselves.
When i was young, familly was the most important thing in our lives. We always ate meals together, and went on outings and vacations together.Every sunday would be familly day. Grand parents aunts and uncles and cousins, all under one roof for a day of visit and dining.
They probably had no idea that their actions would affect you at all.No idea of the consequences of their actions either.
