Only thing I can put it down to is bad parenting. If you're not going to put the time into with your kids then you shouldn't be a parent.

I 100% disagree with this, my parents gave me my space and I have yet to smoke weed and I have had half a can of beer, I just do not find any need for it, it is the kids choice, my friend is a mormon with amazing and nice parents, and now the kid is a stoner, he does hard drugs and narcotics and can not get any worse. We used to be good friends. It is always, and will always be the kids fault.

That's where you're from. Where I'm from in the UK all of that is a common occurrence.

It is still the kids choice, not the parents choice.

I think that saying our generation is messed up is ignorant.
You're generalizing 25 years worth of life to the degenerates of modern society.

As for 16 year olds getting pregnant, this is evolution.
Teenagers of this age giving birth was a social norm in previous centuries.

I like your motto man! ;) Haha but by generation I think he means not the last 25 years, but more like the era that he has lived in.

When I was a kid in the 90's I was outside with my parents on the trampoline, tennis courts, or just running around being awesome. Now kids are inside ignoring the fact that they have never actually had an experience outside except with gym classes.
Not really my problem since my kids will be outside all the time hanging out with family and friends... no video games until they are old enough to figure out what is right and wrong.

I seriously doubt you remember what you were doing when you were 4.

I have a very good memory, also you can't even make that claim as how I remember my life since you don't even know me.

Technology is having an immense impact on our world today, which was expected.

I said "doubt your remember" not "don't remember".
