This.
The distribution of answers on that question is quite amazing. I guess blame the parents can work for anyting... In 24 hrs of being a parent, most people work 8-12hrs, sleep 6-8 , so they can overseer their children in that period from after coming from work to falling into bed tired as hell. With the easy availibility of mature content on the TV, internet and other media, parents have either a choice either of becoming a dictator figure or not having control when they are out of house. With almost every american teen TV series demoting parent and teacher figures as silly, not in the touch with the real world and laughable, and celebs promoting a whole range of noble qualities (like that nice girl hannah montana :) ), it's really not hard for kids to grow out messed up. Add an increased popularity and acceptance of divorces, and there you go.
Yep, definately parents are the one to blame.
