Academics and cultural critics started declaring a boy crisis in the late 1990s, as boys began to trail girls in a host of academic measures. Bad behavior among boys increased, including drug use, violence and sexual promiscuity.Flash forward to today:
The juvenile crime rate in 2005 was down two-thirds from its peak in 1993. The number of high-school boys using illegal drugs has fallen sharply, according to surveys.It's nice that kids aren't being arrested and smoking drugs so much anymore, but the point I immediately jump to: what happened to those little S.O.B.s? Looks to me like they all grew up and started ballsackin' around at my favorite bar.
Today's 20-30somethings really are the dregs of the American Century.
