Who else is disguisted by children nowadays?

[Inverse Skies]

Yeah, this guy is right.

I'm not one to talk, being a "young'en" myself, but i look at the middle school that i came from and things already seem worse there.

SEEM worse.

It's just that as time goes on there are new things that are considered normal for children to wear, have, do, etc.

I'm sure someone in the 80's was complaining about all the damn kids and their liberty spikes and mohawks (was it considered rebellious then? i'm not sure, i wasnt born yet).

But that said, i'm sick to death of hearing people in a generation think they're better than everyone else. Ok, you claim to not ***** and whatever, but that is no reason to say you hate your own generation. Saying so just causes you to come off as a self-centered twat.

/rantblahwhatever

Yup, as we've been saying all along, its cyclical and no generation is different from any others, hence why the whole idea of being upset at the next generation is based on false assumptions, because you're simply making the same mistakes those before you have made and learnt from.

i hate small kids, from the age of 1 to 9. why? because babies are annoying as hell, 1 of those beasts once tried to poke me in the face with its toy. why i hate the school kids in lower grades is because they think themselves good at games and such because they lie about what they´ve done. example: "yesterday i just killed 20 people in CSS with the glock, head-shotting each 1." that is impossible.

 

[Spleenbag]

Yeah, I hate them. A few days ago I walked into an ice cream shop and instantly 3 kids ran over running round me yelling "Dude! Dude! Dude! Dude!" meanwhile the parents were sitting at a table scratching their ass or something. I swear I really wanted to see if my results on the "How many 5 year olds could you take on in a fight" were accurate... I hate a lot of people in my generation and younger...

What the hell? Was that some sort of ritual of superiority? I'm laughing so hard at a bunch of five-year-olds running around saying "Dude" like they're stoned or something.

 

[Spleenbag]

I have to say I am ashamed of my peers. They often do wear more .......adult/revealing clothing and were getting taught at a lower rate. I mean come on! I'm only in ninth grade! does it get worse from here out, with the cursing, the clothing and the teachers/ teaching of lack of?

Same grade, same situation. I fear that it will get worse. (Although, to be honest, revealing clothing can be pretty awesome.)

Edit: Shit, sorry about that double post.

If you had a child, do you think you would bring them up like all the other parents are doing latley? (as an honest question to yourself, because you don't PLAN to let your kids grow up like that) Or would you go along with children being a secondary if nor 5th level priority in your life throwing money at them to keep them silent and hope that tv/video games/movies/music etc. can do a good enough job?

HELL no. My parents raised me in a rather "hardcore" way, and now they're raising my kid brother like every other faceless, generic teenager out there. It enrages me to the point that they make the things they put me through and all the waiting and hoops to get stuff make so, so much sense now.
I dunno why they're not doing it with my brother. It's a shame. Now he spends all day on Tibia, has failed 2 years in a row while hanging out with other retards that are on the same situation, and watches reality shows with his mouth wide open. I always expect him to start drooling anytime

They need to give teachers back the power of paddling. Seriously.

Well, thanks for all the rants towards my age.

Now, I'm 16 and im doing a decent education. For those who are dutch(like me), i am studying on VWO(the second highest,it just doesnt have greek+latin) level. And my parents do not, give me everything i want, and are definetly not overly protective(certainly not for american standards). My grades are decent now, though i messed up my first semester by failing 7 out of the 9 classes.

Since the drinking age here is 16, i ussually drink alcohol excessively 1-2 times a month. This being when i go clubbing with 5-10 friends. I also use weed(once a month?), which is quite easy to come by since they are legal to buy when you are at the age of 18.

Now my parents are, quite wealthy but by no means rich. We go on a holiday abroad(think of spain,turkey, caribean or any other sunny place) for usually 2 weeks, but thats it. I do have a mobile(but what's so special about that actually, since they cost like 10 euros?).

Yay for being off-topic actually. There is a so called phenomenon(how do you spell it? )
called the "zesjes mentaliteit" or in english "the C-mentality"(i believe a C is just a sufficient for you people?) And actually it is pure human nature. People are by nature lazy... Now i've been getting my grades up since i obviously want to pass. But quite frankly the freedom i have, here in the Netherlands, is i believe the key to happy children, that don't make to much of a mess out of it, because you learn from our mistakes... We surely do have mindless dumb ignorant children, whom are big mouthed, but doesn't any generation have those? And a whole society is not build upon the minority that lives in ignorance.

I hope this made any sense, and forgive me my poor use of english+punctuation.

 

[Sanguinius- The Angel]

really...another kid bashing thread...how original. these things are really starting to piss me orf, you know what disgusts me these days? self obsessed adults who believe that life was better in "the old days" because heres a tip. it WASNT your looking through rose tinted glasses, the kid wants a second mobile? ok thats snobbish but what would it have been decades ago? OMG that kid has one of those new fangled radios!!!! its annoying when someone in the older generations judges EVERY single child on the actions of a chice few, surprisingly enough i have managed to survive in my city for whole DAYS without being mugged or stabbed by a 7-year-old [/sarcasm]

Troll alert.

 

[quack35]

Children today are tyrants. They contradict their parents, gobble their food, and tyrannize their teachers.
Socrates
Greek philosopher in Athens (469 BC - 399 BC)

This is nothing new. Don't concern yourself about it, every generation thinks the one below them is going off the rails and it doesn't happen.

True 'dat.

Makes sense to me. Sure sounds like you've got a lot of freedom there in the Netherlands.

Ooh, ooh, me! *raises hand*

I dislike children and their attitudes today; that they're invincible and better than everyone else with their cell phones and other items that they are not only too young to have but have little to no use for.
I dislike how parents don't believe in discipline of any sort; that everything their child does is special and that they, in fact, are special people.
It started in my generation (I'm 21 years old): All children are "special, one of a kind". No one else is like your child.
Your child is going to amount to something.

Or, maybe, like a lot of my peers your child will grow addicted to drugs, be in a debt they have no way out of, and get their girlfriend pregnant at 16. They'll work a job that they not only hate but is just another bullshit job for those who were never smart enough to advance past high school (at best). You know, full time McDonalds workers.

In raising a child in America, they seemed to have forgotten that some people are just fucking stupid for one. For two, we need those stupid people to provide for the more intelligent people with what menial jobs they do have.
You're not going to get a Harvard graduate or someone who just went through Medical School to work at McDonalds at 30+ years old.

I've left the subject though I suppose.
Moral of the story: kids nowadays are spoiled and have no sense of discipline, right or wrong.
They have more than they deserve and will undoubtedly grow to be lazy, fat slobs since they have no need for exercise because they're distracted by their Xbox 360 and their cell phone calls, their expensive car and the McDonalds they have sitting in front of them, that they didn't earn at all.

[Lord_Ascendant]

i agree, but Khell said it better in his rant on this subject except it was on canadian schooling and parenting and blah blah blah you get the picture.

 

[slevin8989]

Its the truth most kids today are more snobish than the old days i'm 19 but i was raised by parents that had very little and worked for everything they had so i was brought up the same way, but thats how it is nowadays Kids are more selfish and snobish and theres nothing much you can do about it
