Why has childhood all but disappeared?

Good question, especially considering the fact that most young people now days aren't mature enough to marry until over the age of 25 or 30. Back in the good old days when there were actually virgin brides and sometimes virgin grooms teenagers frequently married and the marriage worked well for a lifetime. Now children are bombarded with too much sexual information and often times sexual activity, yet they can't make a commitment and when they do they only have a 50/50 chance of success. But, whatever we do let's not let them pray in school. /sarcasm off

In your opinion, what brought this situation about? And what can be done to correct it?

That's 100% true.
