This is nothing new. Don't concern yourself about it, every generation thinks the one below them is going off the rails and it doesn't happen.
I did think we might be falling into that trap, but in my case (in the UK) we have actual confirmation from the UN that Britain is the worse place in the
developed world for raising children (obviously the water starved plains of the Goby desert would be worse if they where developed).
And honestly, I think even my own generation are shite - and my experience in Uni suggests that the UK is in serious trouble given the majority of subjects with needed skills where full of foreigners whilst "Media Studies" was full of Brits. (I did Engineering, to be clear).
I dunno, maybe I am falling into that trap, but honestly, I look at the next and current generation, see the yob culture, the lack of desire to make something of themselves ('what-ever!'), the sense of entitlement ('What? How dare you deny me my dream job just because I lack the skills!'), and this grossy banal 'celeb' culture where everyone thinks they can be rich and famous for no effort.
