The GF and I were talking about this just a few day's ago. We came up with...
It's simply the parents or grandparents laziness.
The majority of children do not have to do anything hard or something that takes actual work anymore. Especially children who live inside of cities. Its too dangerous for kids to play outside alone in the city. So stay in and game til you are a adult. As a adult you can probably safely ride the bus or whatever and start going out.
The standards for everything keep dropping and dropping because quitting when something is hard or a PITA is now accepted. Too out of shape to compete physically? No problem we will make the task easier. Hard time with math? No problem, Google it. Don't want to get a job? No problem, we'll still feed and pamper you and keep a roof over your head forever.
We've been watching it real time with one of my GF's co-workers. 18 year old son, at home, won't work, hates school, has a live in girlfriend. All under a single mom's roof. Every week it's new tales of "Oh, I can't make him do that it's too hard."-WW
