Polonius3: Maybe it's a just an act and deep down they are the same kind of swiney slimeballs as their Brit or Yank opposite numbers. How about they are just normal kids with bad and good days? Do you really enjoy classifying and pigeon-holing everything and everyone?

To Magdusia: Are you really so horse-blinkered? Talk to any teacher who has taught for the past 20-25 years in the US, Canada and probably also the UK, and for sure in Poland, and they will tell you that kids are becoming nastier, more aggressive, foul-mouthed and harder to handle than ever. We can thrash out the presumed causes, but the reality is what it is.
And yes, there are good and bad days. They can be unruly and vicious or more unruly and vicious, depending on their mood.

I do not for one second believe that a greater percentage of kids today is "feral" or "vicious" than was several generations ago. I know a lot of contemporary teenagers, and they are - simply put - good people. Apart from that, I can still remember being a teenager myself, and most of the kids I used to know weren't werewolves either! I think you're just growing old and grumpy, Polonius! ;-p

Anecdotal examples can be found to support any theory, but again -- talk to the teachers. Check with educators, sociologists, law-enforcement experts, etc. Do you really beleive kids always brought knives, guns and drugs to school?

Magdusia et all who claim nothigns has changed, check out: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/primaryeducation/6685249/Children -becoming-aggressive-younger.html

The rise in disruption and aggression means it is becoming harder to teach primary pupils, according to the ATL president, Lesley Ward, who has appealed for parents to support teachers’ efforts to improve children’s behaviour.
The findings appear to confirm the fear that children have too much power in the classroom.
The Government sought to address this by recent legislation that means from September 2010 teachers will have a legal right to physically search pupils’ bags for drugs, alcohol and stolen goods. Currently teachers can only search pupils for knives and other weapons by frisking them or by airport-style metal detectors.

Polonius3: Do you really beleive kids always brought knives, guns and drugs to school? They would have, if they could. The difference is that in the past, such kids would either drop out of school or be removed from mainstream education, whereas now, in the era of No Child Left Behind and All Must Win Prizes - these kids are kept in schools until they practically kill somebody.

Polonius3: Do you really beleive kids always brought knives, guns and drugs to school? My school provided guns for us to use (pistols, bolt-action rifles, semi-auto rifles, light machine guns). And to think that there are people who claim that private schools are worse than state schools!

Worthless parents make worthless kids. If you can't afford to raise one right, don't have one in the first place.
