Of course I do.  

The best I can give you is this article, as I highly doubt that there's been a study done just yet to say "statistically, modern teenagers are entitled douchebags." I highly doubt, however, that it is strictly my experience, largely because I've yet to hear someone contradict it. Shit, it's pretty much taken for granted in any article written about Milennials (or Generation Y, if you will) that's out there.

Just because you have no heard anyone contradict your particular form of anecdotal evidence is not at all the same as proving it true. For all I know, you can simply have a form of confirmation bias against evidence that would refute your anecdotal stories.

I was very fascinating by the article you linked as I remember that I had read it before. However, it simply argues that too much praise can have negative consequences on performance, not that knowledge on how not to make mistakes is less of a factor in preventing mistakes. Good try though.

Again, putting words into my mouth. Where does anything that I have said even suggest that point of view? (hint: it doesn't)

You have explicitly stated that you don't think that proper sex education could prevent these sorts of mishaps when it clearly can. My sex education class did contain discussions on various sounds that you can make during sex and I would hardly confuse the average sex noises with noises of someone being violently assaulted.

EDIT: NVMND you've exaggerated.

You're grasping at straws here, Moridin.  There is nothing to suggest poor sex-education based on religious dogma led these kids to beat that man.
