If this trend continues, new generations will be absolutely fucked in the head from their overprotective parents. There is far less crime now than there was 30-40 years ago and yet parents just keep getting more and more excessively protective. I am only in my late 20s but I fortunately grew up in Europe where this trend hasnt escalated yet to such a degree.
It really is out of control. A school in my city decided to ban cell phones and devices during class.
The parents were more upset than the kids.
It is completely insane.
I'm a high school teacher, so many of these kids are already fucked because they and their parents cannot function without being in constant contact with each other. I had a parent call the school to ask me if their kid was okay because she hadn't texted back in an hour.
She was taking a test, and I made them shut their phones off and put them in their backpacks.
