Although hated, this comment raises interesting points. Indeed, kids are given much more freedom and are less "disciplined" than ever before. At the same time, there's never been so much pressure and coerciveness than right now. You "don't have to take the meds", but you most likely will do that. Sort of a hidden, more hurtful, authoritarianism. |

Excuse me? Less disciplined, sure, but not more free. Kids today have no freedom. They are supervised by adults from when they wake up til they go to sleep. In school they are explicitly encouraged to not resolve conflicts on their own but instead to go to a teacher. The play that they engage in is not only always supervised, but also usually adult-structured. No groups of 2–5 kids going off to play by themselves and making up their own games, they have to participate in whatever nonsense the adults are forcing on them. Children aren't children in the brave new world, they're liabilities.
