Children of this millenium are selfish

Why has society allowed children the right to control adults, their own destiny. Children disrespect adults have no moral values, this may not be the norm in some locations but definitely becoming an everyday occurrence. I was brought up to say sorry even if i didnt believe it although i should. It made the person think i was a better person and also gave the person a sense of worth and importance. Kids today give police officers the bird. Very sad they are destroying their future and do not have anybody to guide them, it is someone else's business and too much effort
