Young 'cannot cope with daily life'

School no longer prepares them for the real world. Wrapped up in cotton wool in a totally safe environment

Which schools are these, I thought kids had to be tough to avoid getting stabbed by immigrants.

The actual story here is that 10% of young people when asked said they felt it was difficult to cope with daily life. Which is probably just as true now as it was at any time in history, except perhaps in the past people would be too ashamed to admit it. 10% is probably quite a small number; you'd get more if you asked people if they could hear a humming noise.

Still, can't beat a good "things aren't as good as they used to be" thread.

When there are schools out there that have over 31 different languages/dialects in them actually understanding you are about to be stabbed maybe a challenge!!

Just think how good an opportunity such schools present for becoming multilingual... the best way to learn languages is through immersion. So modern inner-city schools teach languages AND self-defense!
