That's not a one size fits all by the way but generally speaking .

I agree with you but different in the USA. Kids are politer - open doors - give up seats - respect the police - respect the flag!

Perhaps one of the rules for immigration is conscription to the military or those parents kids conscript when 18. Should be no objections as surely an individual would jump through hoops for a passport.

Must say jobs were easier in the 70’s to get from my experience ( had loads of offers ) - easier to borrow money - easier to meet the opposite s ex in bars/clubs although
( possibly Covid caused a big issue) and almost immediate access to a GP for mental health etc etc. Even education was better years ago with the grammar school 11+ for the bright kids.

I really feel for kids of today as far worse off than when I was a kid!
