Its a punishment issue, not so much as to where the parents are(mom was with me for 6mths, that was the law back then).. later on I only saw my mom for a few mins in the mornings, & then saw dad before bed. I only got to spend time with them on weekends...

Parents don't punish/correct their kids when they do something wrong. They are left to do what they want, so thats what they do. they are left unguided & not use to obeying rules. So the teachers are forced to parent the kids & all hell breaks loose. Kids rebels, & gets into drugs & other crap.

I was only spanked when I did something really bad, that could really hurt me... I remember being spanked(didn't happen often at all.. maybe 3 times) & never did that stuff again. When I was being a tit, I was sent to sit on my bed for 30 mins.

But thats totally off topic, so I'll stop.
