No, there always has been and always will be drug addiction. Parents like to think they have that type of control but they don't.

Adults try to be "friends " to their children instead of parents. also, religion is not as big a part of society as it used to be, that prolly has at least a small affect. with the internet, tv and technology in general, kids can see exactly what their "role models " and celebrities are doing... including all the bad stuff. plus you aren't allowed to spank kids anymore so they act like little hooligans.

Drug use and addiction is nothing new, it's simply more publicized thanks to mass media and increased communication speeds. You could argue that in years past, when smoking and other drugs were legal/ more acceptable than now, "role models " also partook in these activities. Additionally, the past generation or so has actually experienced increased adult guidance thanks to the relatively new concept of a stay-at-home parent. It's just youthful rebellion, like it always has been.
