it would have been nice to grow up when me and his father did in the 80s and 90s, when you don’t have this extra online stuff to go along with being in high school,”

It would be nice to grow up with adults who actually managed the behavior of children in school.

I went to a Catholic boys school with monks as administrators and a former WWII Marine as dean of students.

Bullying, foul language, fights, gossiping, theft, was dealt with swiftly. As incoming students, we were forced to learn the concept of Christian brotherhood - a conformity of mutual respect, demanded by school administration.

There were no cliques or factions. It was the best learning environment one could imagine.

That sounds like a great school.

The old nature can be held in control

We are told in Scripture to live at peace with each other as much as possible.

We don’t have to like it, but we can learn to treat others civilly.

It’s called growing up.

Back then we were raised by our parents and our neighbors. (You screwed up a few blocks from home, your mom knew about it before you could pedal home.)

Now kids are raised by computers/cell phones.

This ain’t gonna end well.
