^ I don't disagree with you. But there are different things available now,then when we were growing up. The internet (we all know the shit out here), cable/satelitte TV, etc. It's just different.
Yes, they will fall, they will get in fights--and they have to learn. And they have to get out, play, run/skip, it's true. I completely agree.
