Society nowadays doesn't seem like anything we grew up in, it's so complex and diverse that I can't help but wonder if this is where my kids are going to grow up and how do I manage.
While growing up fraudulent activities, prostitution, and others were seen as heinous crimes whereas today it is seen as a norm. How do I send my children out to society even with a thorough upbringing and not be afraid not knowing what society will through at them? It frightens me. Can't help but wonder.

As for me the way the Society is that is how the Society was as of from the beginning nothing changed. Everything that is happening today has happened before. That is why Holy Book says, " Nothing is new and nobody can do new things" everything has been existence, our is just to Discovered the hidden knowledge and utilized it. The Society is always in a state of dilemma. Where good manners are always corrupt. OP, you should not be affraid, you should do your best and leave the rest for God. The Bible says" train up a child is the way he or she it it grows. That where parental responsibility come to play. As a parent play your part diligently, provide the needs for the children. Tell the bad and evil in the society. Remember learning is a continuous. So continue teach the dos and don't.

Everything that is happening in the society today is not new and it has been happening, but the kind of society we have today is quit different from what we use to have 10-15 years ago. Like for example the rate youth takes drugs, crimes, prostitution is not high like some years back. Evil in our present society is like a norms , people don't care about crimes and the consequences. This present time is very difficult that requires parents to really eyes on their children to teach them not to get influenced by the bad life style of our society.

All these problems that you mentioned were there in past times and people who want to adopt them they did all those things year back . In all times when you are raising your kids just keep them aware of all the bad things that are happening around them , never put unnecessary restrictions on them for saving them from anything, let them see bad things and let them judge themselves they are bad and I shouldn't do it
I know initially this is risky may be they adopt any of those ,keep a sharp eye on them during their youth and continously tell them to avoid these things. Give them space ,talk to them and listen to them without judging them. Give them time and all your attention. Raising your kid is your first priority.
