Kids don’t care at all about hiding evidence anymore. I’m nine years older than my little sister. She is 18 now and literally she will not even hide entire bottles of liquor in her room. It’s like pathetic. She can’t even turn off her location so when she sneaks out at 2 AM, my parents are getting a notification about her leaving the house. It drives me insane.

100% don’t care, I’ve told her to stop, I’ve given her multiple ideas after hearing “you don’t get it ur old there’s life 360 now,” such as getting a Walmart phone for $30 (I do NOT want to hear how I shouldn’t help her do bad things, I have to hear my mother cry and father be miserable over this teenager doing not even HALF of the mischievous and dangerous activities, I constantly did at her age. At this point, I’ve just realized that my parents suffering is not worth her carelessness for her safety and also how miserable she’s made my parents for no reason other than she doesn’t think she has to care).

Ah man that really sucks, I’m sorry your family is suffering over her careless decisions. What I can’t seem to understand about teenagers now is how they lack remorse or guilt it seems. When I was that age I snuck out and stayed out past curfew, drank & experimented, but I was always paranoid as hell that my parents would find out and how much trouble I could get in. I always had that in the back of my mind and after a phase and realizing how scared it made my parents and hurt my mom especially I couldn’t take the guilt so I would always ask or explain what I was going to do, who I would be with, what time I’d be home etc. which really repaired the trust between us.

But gosh teenagers now are so ruthless and rude and utterly careless from what I see. I can’t comprehend where things went so wrong to have such a massive change in generations
