No doubt the increasingly poor behaviour of kids is down to all the
extra violence and school and in the home these days.

Couldn't agree more. "The children now love luxury. They have bad
manners, contempt for authority, they show disrespect to their
elders.... They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They
contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at
the table, cross their legs, and are tyrants over their teachers."

Attributed to Socrates by Plato.
