Reply #12: Some, of course, but some are kinder and more empathetic [View All]

than ANY kids I remember from my school days. My son's a middle schooler, and I'm really stunned by how tolerant and thoughtful his classmates are. I didn't expect it. There's a kid in his group who's very odd -- would have been beaten up EVERY day back when I was in school -- but they just accept him, and all the kids seem to relish their own individuality.

Whenever I think "kids these days," I remind myself of the Hitler Youth.
