Introduction It is the joy of every parent to raise well-behaved and independent children who are responsible for their lives. However, contemporary changes in lifestyle and the rise of technology have made it difficult for most families to realize this essential dream. Today, the inability by most parents to attain work-family balance has led to the emergence of a generation of children who are ill-behaved. One wonders if the current state of affairs is a sign of an outbreak of misbehavior. Scholars have identified three factors that are contributing to deteriorating behaviors amid children. The lack of socialization among kids has made it hard for millennials to relate to others or resolve disputes.

Opponents of the internet-exposure to children argue that technology contributes to kids developing idealistic expectations regarding appearances and happiness. In the past, teenagers interacted with one another leading to them acquiring mutual respect. It was difficult to report cases of body-shaming or bullying amid the youths. Today, the internet plays significant role in shaping opinions regarding beauty amid girls. Many young ladies spend a lot of time on social sites viewing images of celebrities that they regard as stunning and strive to improve their appearances to conform to established standards.
