Blame is a funny thing. It's the act of holding someone or something responsible for a problem or shortcoming. But it's interesting how the blame is not just cast on someone or something, but targetted at them.

Moral decadence in children is a worldwide problem. The causes of this phenomenon are numerous and varies depending on the school of thought. There are several causes of this decadence.

I have been hearing many discussions about who is to be blamed for moral decadence in children. I was a normal child growing up in an average middle class family. I had no idea about the world and it's many corrupting evil at that time. But children this days know beyond what they should.

Who is responsible for moral decadence of children? Parents, School or the Children themselves.

We are currently living in an era where it is normal for kids to wear revealing clothes. The school books/textbooks are more focused on reading and writing than it is on spelling, punctuation and grammar.

One of the causes is the Parents: Parents have forgotten what parenting is all about and have allowed the state to monopolize the relationship between parents and children.

Coming home from school at times children would be grounded from social media sites but now some parents ate not even taking away the phone from them talkless of grounding them from social media.

The only way their children can communicate with their friends is through social media so taking away the phone prevents them from communicating with their peers as they say. The loss of communication between parents and children has led to extreme peer pressure among young adults who are easily influenced by people of their age or by celebrities which could lead to immoral/immoral acts or activities.

Another cause is the School: Schools used to be strict on attire and kids would be sent home if they did not adhere to the dress code. Now a days the clothing students wear are more revealing than ever before.

Even underwear is seen as outfit of the day in schools and some schools provide optional yoga pants for girls to wear. Boys previously had their own dress code which was baggy jeans, t-shirts and sneakers/sneakers, but now it has become more "urbanized". This term urbanized describes the clothing that boys wear in school which is generally branded clothing such as Nike, Adidas and other popular clothing brands.

There is an unusual story trending online at the moment. On the surface, it may look like another attempt to blame parents and teachers for the behavior of our children, but I think it needs to be told.

Parents are always majorly blamed for the wrong-doings of their children. That's what we were taught by our elders, and the media. But who is really to blame?

Well, it's not only the parents. Our parents are old and have lived through their own time. School is not to be blamed either, as it's there to teach us what we should know; and as for the children themselves, it is their own desire to achieve that drives them to do whatever they do.

In a recent article on the topic of moral decadence someone said: "They just don't care right now," he says of his children. "They're overwhelmed by the possibilities. They have no faith in the system."

It's tempting to blame the parents. But the problem is more universal. In the era of the internet, no one is excluded from exposure to relentless images of gore and sadism.

It's not surprising that this phenomenon has led to "copycat" crimes and murders.

Who is to be blamed for moral decadence in children? Parents, School or the children?

It is obvious that it must be a concatenation of all three factors.
