What we have is a more polarized society. Less average, more extremes; kids are worse and better than ever, at the same time. There are kids who are little sociopaths, and there are kids who are freaking brilliant and so far beyond what my generation was achieving at the same age. It's a bizarre dichotomy, and like everything else, it breaks down right along economic lines.
