If they are teens, then I would suspect illicit drug use is responsible for at least a part of the increase. Some kids do have mental issues and need the care, but I'd suspect drugs have more to do with it than actual mental issues. Is there a study we can read?

Reasonable corporal punishment is allowed.

They are acting out for attention. Attention and respect would bring those numbers down. When I see two parents at a table in a restaurant, both on their cell phones with 3 kids fighting over a tray of hamburgers and fries, I want to cry. Those parents have no conversation with those children during the meal at all. I thank God for the parents I had every day of my life and pray for the children of today.

Most children are in desperate need of parenting, consequences, and spankings. (And before the haters start in on child abuse Do not think I'm advocating beatings... there is a difference in spankings and beatings) Smokey you and I are on the same wavelength.
