What is wrong with kids today.

If you are spanking your child for picking their nose then CPS needs to come and take your kids away.

That's the problem right there. "CPS" prevents people from raising their kids right.

If the kids don't like the way you raise them, they can always leave.

Yes.

How dare the government protect children from being violently abused by their parents.

Fuck those guys.

Yes.

Fuck those guys.

More like protecting children from being given proper discipline for their actions. They need to learn the true consequences of ****ing up.

After all, that's what metal pipes are for.

I'm pretty sure you're just joking now.

At least, I think that's what my brain is telling me.

Sticking your finger in your nose at 4 years old is NOT a behavior that warrants physical harm you fucking nitwit.
If you'd hit someone just for having the audacity to put their finger in their nose then you need to be put away because obviously you weren't raised right and have turned into a violence loving maniac.

You're a moron of the highest caliber. You've created a scenario in your head where violence solves every problem and if a child has not dropped out of high school and moved out by 16 he's obviously not being hit enough.
Get the fuck off my internet you retarded monkey.

It's their choice whether to drop out of high school or not, but they sure as hell shouldn't be mooching off of their parents when they can get their lazy ass up and get a job and a place of their own.

Ever seen Star Wars?

You've just fallen to the Dark Side...

I must mourn my fallen comrade.

Not really.

[sub]Jedi don't mourn, for that would be submitting to emotion.[/sub]

You're right. Parents and society as a whole share most of the blame. It's not the kids' fault their parents don't know how to raise children properly.(Or they do know how but they're too chicken **** to do it.)

Well if you realise the "problem" why do you ask in the title what's wrong??? Also, thinking that hitting a child is good parenting is silly. It might be easy parenting (and I doubt that) but it isn't good parenting...

And as asked above how old are you meant to be anyway??? >.>

I prefer not to disclose my age on the internet.

Don't be silly. How old are you?

 

[Andy Shandy]

Seems appropriate for this.

See, the problem with your arguement Mr. OP, is that you're looking at things from the nostalgic perspective of an idiot. You're likely one of those people who wishes we were back in a simpler time, a better time, when a child knew that his next thrashing was but a word away, because his father was shitfaced and would beat him horribly if he said anything to anger him. A time when a woman was completly subservent to her husband, and if she wasn't in the kitchen quietly fixing dinner, she had best be on her back preparing to do her womanly duties and give her husband another son.

That or you're just a shitty troll, I'm guessing the latter.

 

[Screamarie]

OH for...! This is ridiculous. I'm pretty sure this is a troll and I'm honestly wondering if advocating child abuse is against the rules.

If not a troll, number one, if you were actually beaten the way you describe, then your parents were royally messed up.

My step-father was a child of abuse and you know what? He grew up to be a total asshole. The only thing I can be thankful for is that he knew better than to hit his kids.

My biological father was an abuser as well and guess what? He was a total fucking asshole too who beat my mother and TRIED TO KILL ME!

I am HIGHLY offended that you take a subject such as child abuse and try to turn it into "discipline." That's not discipline! Child abuse is not having the strength to raise your children properly so instead you turn to violence to get what you want out of your children.

I don't want to get reported so I am having to avoid saying MANY unkind words to you, but as a child born of a phsyically abusive relationship, I have to say that I hope you never have kids!

Bullying was never a problem back in my day. Problems were things like having enough food to eat, paying the rent, making sure you had clothes, etc. Not being name called. Now more often than ever, I see kids still living with their parents even after they turn 16. Which is a sign that kids are getting dumber, lazier and thinner skinned.

Bullying has always been a problem. The only change that's occurred is people have begun to realize just letting kids make other kid's lives a living hell on a daily basis is neither conducive to their education, nor is it a healthy or stable way for them go go through adolescence and move eventually into adulthood. Also, physical bullying like you see in '50s and '60s television shows got cracked down on as it turned out to be a pretty big safety risk, leading to more psychologically-geared bullying which has lead to more suicides caused by bullying. It turns out there's a big difference between having to live with a daily wedgie and having to live with your peers specifically targeting your fears and insecurities and turning the rest of the school against you. While most students wouldn't want to get involved in hitting another kid, a lot more of them don't mind getting involved in name-calling and jeering. Same effect, less blood and less of a chance of getting caught.

And furthermore, what on earth does bullying have to do with getting the rent paid? I mean I understand kids who lead harder lives are more likely to become bullies and have social and emotional problems and whatnot, but unless the kids were responsible for getting the food, paying the rent, and making sure they had clothes that really shouldn't affect them or whether or not they are bullying/being bullied. It wasn't their problem.

Yes, children should be taught to deal with people not treating them properly. But there is a limit to everything. School should, first and foremost, be a place of safety and openness. A kid shouldn't have to be made suffer and have his problems swept under the rug just because another kid's parent didn't properly teach them how to not be an asshole. Even if a kid is a bit too sensitive that is no excuse. Even the real world doesn't work like that--if somebody is stupid enough to have their wallet sticking out of their pocket and somebody takes it from them, it's still considered stealing. You don't let the thief get off because the victim wasn't prepared for such an event.

I agree that a lot of parents don't know how to discipline their children, but it's rather unfair and childish to say the ENTIRE generation is like that. That way of thinking is no better than the angsty teenager who thinks that all old people are out to get them, and serves no purpose but to prove that angsty teenager right.

Guys, guys...to ANYONE taking the OP seriously.

OP is clearly not serious. He CAN'T be serious.

...And if he is, I feel very sorry for him and anyone he knows.

Well obviously the kids should be working in mills, their adorable little hands are just so good at that kind of work. In my day if your scalp got torn off by a mill you didn't start child labor reform, you put some cotton on it and got back to work. That's the way it was, and we like it! We loved it!

Protip: Kids are very passive actors in pretty much all cultures. If you have a problem with "these darn kids on my lawn", bring it up with adults. Or you know, it's totally Big Pharma and Monsanto pumping chemicals into the food. Only way to save yourself is to buy a shack with no running water in North Dakota.

There is a fine line between punishment and abuse, and parent(s) beating a child is leaps and bounds over it.
Your attitude towards depression isn't doing many favors for your opinion either.

 

[Total LOLige]

This has to be a joke. If you're really serious OP I think your parents hit you too hard bro. Savage beatings aren't the way to discipline children, unless you're training them to be super soldiers that show no emotion.

I feel bad for you son, you've got 99 problems and beating children's one.

 

[Vault101]

the kids today are responsible for ME3's ending...I dont know how but DAMMIT Im sure of it

 

[RamirezDoEverything]

Kids today have no discipline. Back when I was being raised, if you complained or did anything wrong, you got beaten.

I'm 17. I say please and thank you. If I act up, I get my keys to the car that I pay for taken away. If I really at up, I get smacked.

I agree with you on the majority of my peers, but don't brand us all.

Now we branded proper discipline as "abuse" and as a result, kids today are turning up so wimpy. So much so that bullying of all things is a PROBLEM. Bullying was never a problem back in my day. Problems were things like having enough food to eat, paying the rent, making sure you had clothes, etc. Not being name called. Now more often than ever, I see kids still living with their parents even after they turn 16. Which is a sign that kids are getting dumber, lazier and thinner skinned.

Yep, everyone wants someone else to take care of their problem, and instead of fixing their bully problem/ignore it, they cry and hope it goes away.

We even invented a new BS "disease" called depression to make pathetic kids feel better and sell placebos. Depression never occurred when I was a lad because our "depression" was beaten out of us and we became fine young men.

Once again, don't brand us all. My mom put me on anti-depressants after a visit to the shrink, because I'm apparently sad all the time. I spit out every pill she gave me.

We need to reverse this process. Do you agree?

Yes, I wouldn't mind seeing my peers getting the hell beat out of them.
