I think a rather significant issue is that people are growing up without siblings who I believe (usually) make up for parental shortcomings and since that's not happening the kids simply don't have any street sense at all.
Kids have zero street sense because no one goes out anymore. We push our daughter into doing clubs etc but all they want to do is play online and chat on their phones. Social media sells them all a lie and truely believe they will become streamers and content creators in the future. Work is just beneath them. Also a lot of parents and adults are naive into the culture of teenagers today compared to 10-15 years ago. It has changed massively.
Our daughter has time limits on all devices and it hasn't been easy. It can cause a lot of resentment because her "friends" can do what they want. Hopefully she will see the clear picture and be thankful when she has finished her schooling and is living by herself because it is only going to get harder to have a good life going forward in Britain.
There was a good Joe Rogan podcast recently about this issue and it is an eye opener as I believe it is an even bigger issue in the states.
Schools being able to ban phones during school time is a huge positive and step in the right direction in my opinion.
