I grew up when I did ( 70s early 80s ) We were outside all the time playing in the woods or playing football/baseball, riding bikes, fishing......No cell phones, computers, 500+ tv channels.
I don't how kids these days deal with the constant barrage of information.
In some ways they're growing up faster than I did....But in a bad way.
A shame kids can't be kids anymore.

Remember the soap chip challenge?
So, the news this morning announced a new "challenge" on social media that teen-aged morons are responding to. Vandalize your school bathroom, post pictures on social media. Actually, the latest iteration of this stupidity is "slap a teacher", but that hasn't really taken off yet. Now that it's made "The News", however, I suppose we'll be seeing more of it.
The response has been to blame the social media outlets, as if it was their fault that American kids have been raised without any stable moral sense, instead of blaming the vandals and the parents / society that failed to produce responsible offspring.
I propose a different solution:
Caning. Singapore style punishment for vandalization. It should be fairly easy to locate those responsible for the vandalism, since the micro-brained idiots post their brave forays on social media. Take them downtown, bend them over, pull their pants down, (the pants didn't do anything, as my parents and grandparents informed me) and give them a good caning. Post that on their social media, right behind the post of their vandalistic exploits.
Problem solved. I'm betting that we'd see a 99.99999999% decrease in kids responding to the "challenge".
Nobody likes my ideas though, so, we'll probably buy them extra ice-cream or something as their punishment. Or, just continue to blame people with no control over the situation.

They actually locked the bathrooms at my son's school in response to this. Didn't last long but it happened

Same at my Wife's school. The kids seemed to be going after the soap dispensers. One kid swiped my Wife's hand sanitizer she suspects as part of a challenge and she chased him down and got it back. She also laid down the law with the kids about what would happen if any of them tried to slap her.
My Wife gets high marks in classroom discipline.
...explains your high regard for Kim and why you cave in so often and so quickly. Smart man.
Don’t forget the slap a teacher challenge 😡
The 80's were the best. I often tell my kids the just don't understand what they missed out on. I'm glad we didn't grow up with all this technology. I would have been in so much trouble. Imagining these things in the future was fun and most of this now is beyond our wildest dreams from back then. Life seemed so less stressful. It was truly an amazing decade.

Once I had to move the principles desk to the wall so he could get "swinging room" Ouch!!
Kids have been steeling and destroying stuff in my building all year. No consequences even though we know exactly what teams are responsible.

Wow. I did burnouts on the high school auditorium stage with my motorcycle..
I found out rather quickly how hard it is to get the tire marks off of a wood stage.
They knew right away who did it and I was busted immediately.
3 days later, the stage floor was cleaned and I never did that again.
They should make any kids caught doing that, do latrine duty for at least a week.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
I had a buddy did that. He got expelled and had to move to his grandparents to go to a new school.
The stuff my friends and I did in high school can't be mentioned here...
Right now the apparently funny thing to do in middle school bathrooms is stealing all the toilet paper and paper towels, and then dispensing all the soap from the soap dispensers. They flush almost the toilet paper and paper towels down all of the toilets. They've had to start posting teachers in the bathrooms in between bells.
These kids are pretty f****** stupid bro. If you don't have any TP but you have to take a mondo shít, You're going to be wiping with your underwear and your Jimmy is going to rub against your fly for the rest of the day. Uncomfortable AF!
Wise words of experience here
