The amount of over-30s who will defend this on town Facebook groups by saying it's what they did and turned out fine is terrible. I get to sleep in and wake up for my intellectually demanding job whenever I want and I feel how much more I'm able to deliver because of it. It makes me sad to think about how much learning I missed out on as a 16 year old because I would be falling asleep in class so often.

People say, "My parents beat me and I beat my kids and I turned out just fine!" I think, 'did you hear what you just said?'

Whenever I hear, "turned out fine" it prompts me to look closer.

It's up to today's parents to provide a better environment for their children, regardless of popular sentiment.
