I'm sorry. I concentrated on the part about your brother. I was generally appalled at "mischief making" among youngsters my age (my friends generally exerted positive peer influence). Especially when the mischief involved hurting others, as I all too commonly found it did as a child. I am vastly heartened by the greater kindness and tolerance I see among my son's friends.
I just care passionately about things like this, that's all. So does my son. You might call it civility, I think of it as something completely different than mere civility rules, although I generally refer to it as civility in keeping with the wording of this site. I don't think I have the words for it.
