Lost respect to todays youth

[carletonman]

Time to bring back kids working in the mills and the mines! /sarcasm.

Seriously though, the whole "OMFG kids are stoopid!!!" argument has been around forever. Doesn't mean you shouldn't hit em with a beanbag round if they're vandalizing your property though.

Kids are stupid, they always will be and older generations will always complain about how they were so much better behaved when they were kids. This should not be some shocking revelation to you.

i agree young people have lost their respect. im in the same catagory but i have loads of respect for my parents, teachers, and anything that has earned it. my friends and i use the term lightly they think that a good night is geting drunk or doing somthing ilegal or stupid.

So... basicly, you're being bullied?
Maybe not bullied, but the other kids whose little group you don't belong to don't pay any attention to you or even use you to get a cheap laugh every now and then?

No, i never said i was being bullied. What I'm saying is that in a school of over 1000 pupils, most of them don't look where they're going when they are walking lol. Considering im a lot taller than most, and anyone who walks into me immediatly gets knocked over, you'd think they might want to be a little more perceptive.

Luckily, I've never been bullied in my life but, just for future reference, try to be a little more sensitive with forum posts.

I'm apart of the youth and i hate it. I hate other kids and i hate being a kid. I megaloth the children.

Yeah, this. My english class was doing a skim-reading test, which only around three of us could keep up with (myself included, I read constantly, so the whole thing was easy for me.) but the others might have been able to pick it up if it hadn't been for these two girls near the front (who I was unfortunately close to) literally talking at a higher volume than the teacher. Everyone in the class was basically saying shut the hell up, and they were acting all offended like "wow, what? why should we?" so after a couple of minutes, they started up again.

I turned to them, and said: "look, nobody here gives a damn about anything you two have to say about anything. The sound of your voices is so freaking annoying it should be banned as a war crime under the geneva convention. If you weren't so stupid, I'd think you were government agents hired to kill everyone here, and that the best way you'd found to do that was to talk and talk until we all simultaneously haemorrhaged."

I don't really have this problem because i'm in all the top classes but it's out of class that my hate boils. What gets to me the most is kids wagging. The retards need all the education they can get if they don't want to end up on a park bench.

Anyone who read one of my older threads will know i have had vandalism problems in my area for some time. Lastnight's events just tops it off and has made me lost all respect to the young.

Anyway, i was out lastnight (i have a wicked hangover and a cold atm, ignore the errors).
I woke up this morning (feeling like P Diddy) and my Dad told me about a gang of 15 kids outside throwin stones at the window. We get this alot because my dad chases them and they love the thrill.

Well this time is different my dad went outside on the phone to the police and the one of the gang asked "why arnt you chasing us?"

Anyway long story short my dad told them about his medical conditions and my mothers, both involing heart troubles and disabilties. The group said sorry, the didnt know but to top it off, one of them asked this:


"Do you know anyone who would chase us?"

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

That kid needs to be stoned to death for sheer irony.

I cant see much discussion value here, only to ask if you have ever seen or met such stupidity that it made your blood boil?


edit: Clear up, when i say todays youth, i mean i have lost respect to them as of now. I previously had respect of them. Yes i no kids of all generations have done terrible things in past. Im meaning now, for myself, at this point, my opinion. You think things would only get better as time progresses.

You are part of today's youth.

And I lost respect for you guys long, long ago.
Hell, I lost respect when I was part of that youth.

In fact, the youth have never been good. They've just grown up and become smug.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Sounds like you should have just contacted the local police in the first place. I'm not at all placing the blame on you or your father in any way, but they just sound like bored kids rather than bad kids. I've lived in a lot of areas and in at least one of those if you told them you had a medical condition they'd spray-paint it on your house and put fireworks through your door to see if they can make you have a heart-attack.

I wouldn't say it's quite enough to say all youth are bad: it just sounds like these kids need someone who'll make them feel like badboys. In one area I lived it just became normal for young boys to run away when they saw the police, just so the police would chase them. They never did anything wrong and over time the police realised this so they stopped giving chase. I imagine they then started throwing stones at people's houses just to get attention too.

If anything, it makes me pity today's youth.

when has anyone older ever had any respect for those younger? Join the club, i havent had any respect to those younger than me ever since i first became a senior at any thing.

Respect is earned, not given.

That might be a little hypocrytical. Just because you are older then others doesnt mean you deserve more respect. And neither because people are younger then you they deserve less respect.

I know a 27 year old father and he is a total dickwad and an idiot I have zero respect for the guy and feel sorry for his young son.

Respect has nothing to do with age it is given based on the way you act towards other people regardless of age.

y so i never expected them to respect me because im older. I just don't give them the time of day unless they genuinely have something to offer that i give 2 shits about. So yeh it is earned not given.

Send em to me, I'll chase em.... If they can out run my 3 1/2in 00 buckshot I'll offer them a second chance to run if they want. I don't fuck around with people trying to throw rocks at me or my house, just like that Grandma awhile back.

Care to guess how many people throw rocks at my house?
Well.... I'm not behind bars yet.

instead of buckshot, fill the shells with rock salt. my grandpa told me about that.

I would too, but the sad truth is that they can sue for that. They get you with assault so if the warning shot does not deter someone from destroying my personal property they have it comming. The worst case senario is if I come out to warn them and they throw one at me. They will recive no warning or mercy, because to me that becomes assault with a deadly weapon on my property. That escilation of force allowes me to use leathal force until the weapons are no longer in play..... Then I can't shoot them, only detain them.

I got to a school (enough said) and I still have faith, because even if most of 3000 people that go there are complete idiots I know that making an assumption with a fairly low amount of people is unfair.

To be honest kids havent changed all too much, its just that every generation sees the next generation as inferior

I feel bad that a majority of my peers are absolute douchenozzles.

For example, lunch a few weeks ago. Someone was on their way to the trash can to empty their tray, froze halfway there, got a shiteating grin, and dumped the contents of his tray on the floor, the tossed the tray on some random table.
