Jambo , the problems you mention about todays youth stem directly from the WW11 generation , the products of the baby boom were raised by parents who had gone thru WW11 , the men had been away for 4/5 years and the women had 'stayed behind' had been introduced to another lifestyle (burtontowood etc, even the ossie moors )
This generation didn't know if they would be speaking English or German the next day so they lived one day to the next, one day at a time,at the end of the war the people voted out Churchill and said 'never again" for the second time (WW1, Labour/League of Nations/Pacifism etc)
The parents who raised children during the 50s/60s were maybe a tad lax in their parental resonsibilities but this goes back to the conditions of life during 39/45 and this was passed on to future generations
hope this makes sense
