My WAG is that technology has influenced culture. 60 years ago, when you got bullied at school you went home at the end of the day and could relax a bit. Nowadays, you go home and the bullying continues on the internet. Children are already narcissistic, and social media allows the narcissism to grow to new levels.
Also, most kids weren't in single parent families 60 years ago. Raising a child is crazy difficult with 2 parents; I can only imagine how difficult it is as a single parent.
