No I don't think society is only to blame. Obviously every person has personal responsibility. These kids want to rebel and be mad, that's partly from society and partly from being a teenager. Their mind hasn't fully developed at that point. Teenagers mostly cant think about their lives and future long term. They dont realize they won't feel the angst and the anger and the I know everything mindset forever. Its always easier to be a victim and fall into the "everyone else is the reason I suck" mindset. I think part of the reason they feel this way is the alienation from society.

But I agree with you. Teenagers and young adults are generally very dumb and don't understand the long term consequences of their actions.
