Actually, it's established fact that everyone thinks things were better in the "good old days." It's partly because we remember the world as we perceived it as children, before we became aware of the problems and issues that pervade adult life. Thus, you remember your peers as being much better behaved than children are today. And while the ways in which modern children disobey are appropriately called horrible, the same thing was once said about chewing gum in school. The standards of behavior are looser today, but the urge of the young to press against boundaries and rebel are a constant.
