It's never the parents.
Parent here. It's always the parents. The biggest problems with young people are typically caused by lack of parental involvement and are next to impossible for schools or society at large to solve.
The catch is that any public figure or institution saying that out loud is more or less committing suicide. Just like I'm about to be roasted alive on here for saying it.
Shitty, inattentive parents do not want to hear that they need to do better. Parents who didn't plan ahead and just shove their kid in daycare don't want to hear that they should have moved to a cheaper metropolitan area so they could work less and spend more time raising their kids. Parents who went off half cocked and had kids in unstable relationships don't want to hear that they shouldn't have done that knowing they wouldn't be able to stay together in the long term.
Nobody is allowed to say that out loud, you have to read between the lines.
