Lanny, I won't deny the negative effect some of our culture (although I don't claim it as MY culture) has on people everywhere I would venture a guess that this has a lot more to do with parenting and the nature of adolescents to be among the cruelest of creatures.
It's no secret that parenting, or lack thereof to be specific, has been in a steady decline for years. I'm sure that's true in Canada as well as here.
