This world is going crazy...

...and I don't mean in a good way. What in the world is going on?!? There are poor kids being bullied to death (literally), people killing each other senselessly, suing each other if they even breathe wrong (and winning, at that!)...I mean, really? This world won't stand long if this is how it's gonna be. When I was in high school, my biggest enemy picked on me about the size clothes I wore (It's not what you think; I was insanely skinny, but she would argue with me and tell me I wore smaller than I actually did). That was my problem. These days kids are seriously being tortured, to the point of taking their own lives. When did things get this bad? And who the hell are the parents who allow their children to act this way? THEY need to be held accountable. But they're not, for some reason. Why? I just don't get it. I am raising my kids to be decent people, to treat others with respect and do the right thing. But apparently I'm in the minority. What am I supposed to say to them when they come home from school and wonder why Sarah or Joe or whoever was mean to them or disrespected their teacher or whatever? I understand that teenagers have drama; that's part of being a teenager. But when it crosses the line, someone needs to have the authority to step up and do something if the parents aren't going to.
