So you do bring up a good point. You're right that it doesn't always start in the household, and I can compromise with you there on that point. That being said; parents do have a an influence on their kids (especially in their formative years which are the most important when becoming adults and how they interact socially).

People itt act like parents got a go pro and a shock collar attached to their kids at all times

Nobody is saying this.

Weird how some of you think a stereotypical middle class two parent household prevents children from wilding out

Yea, you put it on the deadbeat dad but it still goes to my point that the deadbeat should’ve never been trying to have kids in the first place. It’s really not that hard to not be a deadbeat.

It’s more likely to prevent them from wilding out, no question about it. You can go in a neighborhood and see some of this in real time

Man never heard shawty wanna be a thug

The nuclear family does usually have some good positives though.

A f***ing song. Y’all are trolling at this point or just willfully ignorant.
We can pull up stats, we can pull up anecdotes and I promise you it will point to you being wrong.
It’s just common sense. This generation is doomed

Look; everyone in this thread can point fingers and say "this is exactly what the problem is". But really, we know that there's lots of different factors that are causing problems. Why not everyone compromise and just agree at that on the very least?

terrifying video. this type of behavior needs to be stomped out of existence

If you think the majority of those issues are caused by deadbeat parents you’re a dumbass man. And you literally cherry-picked his entire argument, and you’re still wrong

He's right about one thing: don't have children if you can't take care of them.

Why are these mf so mad

Hasn’t this been going on for like 2 years?

Where are their parents and why don’t they set them straight?

At this point the parents are complicit too

Would be better putting that money into updating/repairngs a school(s), jobs or recreational places.

Just a reminder that many of Chicago's low income areas barely have schools (many of them shut down) and the ones left are severly out of date or barely operating plus little job opportunities even at the most basic level.

Its a ghost town except theres people still there.

I mean yeah the parents in fact do play a role in those early years but we gotta stop acting like kids don’t eventually grow into their own people and have their own thoughts. Parents can’t walk around holding their kids, telling them to stop when they do wrong after a point. Most kids/teens go through a phase starting in middle school where they feel like their parents are getting less cool and start thinking a lot of the stuff they see their peers doing as cool. The environment, circumstance and the way society is play a huge part too. That probably play a bigger role in those teen years. Like we all know at least one person that was raised right, met a street nigga or a f*** nigga, thought that life was cool because they not use to it and fell deep into the trap. I don’t see how the parents are to blame at that point.

Like no parent actually want their kids roaming the streets cause hell but in certain environments that’s just the way the cards were dealt from the jump. You can lecture and do your best as a parent but s*** sometimes you and your child are unlucky due to circumstances. You’re not a failed parent. If a lot of these communities had the resources and better opportunities a lot of these shorties would be better off.

Yeah, you're right about that in the sense when they hit puberty they start to rebel against authority. There's no denying that. However during this phase of life, usually teenagers do something stupid, and learn from the mistake. The problem is how now it seems like the "learning from the mistake" part is missing. Yeah, I'll give the fact that we all did stupid s*** as teenagers, but where do we draw the lines and treat it as actual juvenile delinquency? Seeing videos of these kids destroying property and hurting innocent people goes far beyond "just being stupid and having fun".

Do we blame the kids for this? Parents? Who's held accountable in situations like these? How do we fix it?

The biggest question is why in the first place are they doing this stuff?

Free will is a mf ain't it?
