In my country every once in a while (actually more than once) you'll come across a kid who's parents are extremly living and responsible, but try as they may, they just can't control their kid(s), so they turn out to be the devil reincarnated so to speak. Now then, this happens but not to the extent where we have to LOOK for a well mannered kid these days. The problem with life in the GCC is kids take everything for granted. Why? Because they can. In the GCC kids never need to experience wanting somthing but not getting it, ofcourse maybe this happens but only rarely, thus, they never know anything about responsibility, parents these days forget that there is a difference between 'having' kids and 'raising' them. Giving pocket money and buying them clothes and food is not enough. When I crashed my dad's car (I was 16) I went and worked at a local mechanic to pay off the 2000 saudi riyals needed to repair it, because I felt it was my fault, my father never made me do it. I'm no angel, but my point is parents (not all) are giving their children love, but are they giving their children a lesson in manners?
