Philadelphia is known as the ‘city of brotherly love and sisterly affection’ but we are also known to have an edgy side as well. Philadelphians are passionate people. Passionate about our music, passionate about our community, and passionate about our sports. Sometimes that passion is displayed in the not so family-friendly manner.

We can tell our kids one thing, but the next generation is taught by what they see. With that, a national survey has been conducted to determine that Philadelphia has the meanest children in the nation.
