The world is a far more complex place than it was even 15 years ago. Heck, even an old codger like me sees it as more and more depressing. Maybe we can blame it partly on the information highway and easy access to just about everything. Kids seem to grow up too fast and take things far too seriously, as if the entire weight of the world rests on thier shoulders. IMHO, this is close to being as self centered as one can get.
Until people can understand that the world does not revolve around their individual problems, young folks will continue to take the easy way out rather than come to terms with life.
Just my opinion. Stay close to your kids, let them know you are available to listen whenever necessary, and do your best to convince them that the world is neutral re: their existence; neither working in their favor or conspiring against them.
