Problems children face today

Many parents in today's world are on drugs, paranoid or are troublesome people which could affect their parental guidance and completely ruin an aspect (or more) of a child's life. The example of beating a child will decrease his self-respect and confidence making him easily overrun by life's challenges. If a parent has absolute complete control in a child's life and would not listen on the child's opinion about certain matters involving himself, then the child will be used to giving up quickly on his hopes/dreams/goals. If the parent(s) take some sort of drug, smoke, or drink then the child will subconsciously be willing to be just like his parent(s) and end up taking all these harmful products. Because the earth's children are who will guide us through further growth and more success in the future, if these children are brought up wrong...The earth would completely fall under the chaos of drug trafficking, certain crimes (such as murder or theft), and burglary.
