I see it so often here but I am sure it is happening in US too. I see little punks 13-15yrs of age hanging around fast food car parks till 2am on a school night. Where are the parents? Dad is in another state and mum is busy trying to get her self a new hubby. When the kids raise them selves they will never turn out right. Anyone raised with strong sense of morals and in a loving family will never turn out to be a bully.

Yea the broken home syndrome plays a big roll in a lot of adolecence issues here in America as well. Our kids 12, 14, & 15 are in the house every night by 8PM and in bed at 9PM on school nights, and 10PM on weekends and holidays. I lived a very loose life when my parents split up (I was 10), and I got into all sorts of trouble.
SO our kids will not have the same freedoms, and they earn everything they get
. They each have a simple chore, and as long as they complete it properly they earn a weekly allowance of $10
. If the chore is not completed properly 100% they get squat.
Trust me they got squat for quite a while before they learned the meaning of doing a job right the first time.
I do not play when it comes to our kids learning things the hard way at home. The streets are a pretty tough way to earn your wings so to speak. I got beat down for a while in school when we moved to the projects, but after a few beatings I had to learn how to fight
and also how to make friends with the biggest kids in school.
