Well, kids studying hard, and involving themselves in the volunteer work that was originally a school requirement that later became a genuine interest, looking to their future and enjoying themselves quietly with friends doesn't make for such a good television audience.
What you're seeing is the fringe. Believe me, in the seventies there was a fringe too. And every bit as shocking to the average kid in the seventies as I suspect it is to the average kid today. Certainly morals have relaxed over the last decades, but I don't think we're in any danger of widespread moral depravity yet.
