I think it's coz it's so much easier for parents to give the kids 'things' than to spend time with them. Some of the gadgets are substitute baby-sitters but don't generate memories for the kids. The parents later moan that they don't understand their kids or know what they're up to. It's their own fault!
I have always worked with reverse psychology on my teenager so he came home from school one day to find a new poster on his wall.
"Tired of your annoying parents? Why not move out while you still know it all?"
I also told him the police remove him from the house when he is the legal age to leave ;o) Whereas the reality is, I love him to bits and want him to stay with us forever. He's a good soul who has impeccable manners, and gets As at school. (I tell him Bs = Beatings, Cs = Cancelled Computer).
You don't get what you deserve, you get what you settle for - and I don't take any shit!!
is it normal that most all teenagers are little jerks?
