I think we should make them attend some funerals and burials to give them a
proper perspective on what exactly is going on with cemeteries. We have
sheltered our children from the truth of death, or most parts of life for
that matter. Maybe I'm getting grumpy in my old age but we have extended
childhood into the mid-20's yet given privileges to teens that only adults
should have. The kids who do this have no respect for the living or the
dead. That is a serious failing.
