I played tons of sports in high school. Rugby League, Rugby Union, Cricket, Soccer, Basketball, Aussie Football, Field Hockey, Track & Field, and I also got in trouble a lot back then. 2 restraining orders, assault charges, car theft. Spent more time in detention than actual class. But look at me now! Kickin' ass and takin' names!
So now I know the reason you came to US in the first place and can't really leave; you are a fugitive of Australia.
I was an athlete my entire youth life and got in some trouble but not much. varsity letter my freshman year of HS and captain of the team my senior year. then again varsity my freshman year of college and would have made NCAA nationals my sophomore year if I hadn't been suspended for shitty grades and quit that school because I was miserable. as drool said, it's not like I wasn't doing anything but was just smart/lucky enough to not get caught.

I'm a little too lazy to go back and read my own comments but I don't think I believe that all kids are monsters. I do believe there are more monstrous kids now than 30 years ago. My beliefs come from observations in classrooms from the poorest of the poor to the richest of the rich that you actually see in public schools. I haven't had any reason to be at any private schools and observe what's going on there. My sister has taught at both ends of the spectrum and I've spent plenty of time in her schools assisting in the classroom. As far as I am aware, our UF resident teacher has not yet given his opinion. I've talked to other teachers who have taught for 30+ years and they all report more behavior problems now than 20 years ago. I don't think as much emphasis is being placed on education and respect in the average home in America. I'm not even sure I'll be capable of instilling those values in my children if I have any. It's extremely difficult to be a parent, know what it is that you went through as a child, and then try and teach your kids to do it better than you did. In addition, no matter how well you teach your kids at home, the moment you send them out amongst their peers they learn a whole new set of rules. I think it's a huge struggle for kids today between what they know is right and what they want to display. Kids are growing up faster both mentally and physically and I don't think we as a society are equipped to handle all this new stuff. It's resulting in some problems. Blah, I don't know if I'm explaining myself very well here. Stuff is changing. Back in my day things were better!!! Get off my lawn!!!
I know what the problem. You all breast feed them till 10 years old. Feel them till 12 years old...
