I personally think its mainly due to a combination of two things:
1) Believe it or not, there are parents these days that actually want their kids to be sot of "street smart" and actually encourage or at least tolerate bad language, talking back, etc.. because they don't want their kid/s to feel intimidated or become the victim of other kids.
2) The internet. Kids say whatever they want and get away with it and as we all know, the internet is a viscious cesspool of rudeness, foul mouths and outright bullying. This is what kids are dealing with today and I think that sort of behavior begins to seem normal to them whether online or not.

Just want to add that this deterioration of society is actually foretold in the bible...
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
(2 Timothy 3:1-5 NIV)
It's a bit disturbing to me how a lot of that description fits the way people are today..

My parents (Mom and Dad only, since later on Dad married and had more kids) had four kids. We were all taught respect, good manners, how to behave to the point that we could go to mass on Sunday at age 18 months and behave without requiring even coloring books or toys. We were trained well. One of my brothers was a bully anyway. He still is. Don't blame parents. Ultimately, we're responsible for our own actions.
