to be honest it's mainly people of the same generation complaining about their own so you're rather wrong.kaziard said:
+ I'm sick of my generation and younger kids, a few months ago there were two year 8s (12 years old) who thought that each of them could beat me in a 1on1 fight ( I'm nearly 16 and i've done weightlifting since i was 13). back when i was in year 8 i wouldn't dare mouth off to anyone more than a year above me, but 2 weeks ago at school some little year 7 tard tried to pick a fight with a sixth former, luckily she smacked him in the face and he fell over.
and i was replying to the OP, anyway of course you get tards in younger years but heres a secret.... tards are interchangable, just last night when i was coming outa my local there was a mouth y bugger shouting at a guy across the street randomly cursing etc. age has no bearingrichard misiak said:
Sadly enough, I have a cousin who's very similar to this.
She ran away from a breathalyzer test at some high school function and was arrested, has been in multiple driving accidents all her own fault, and has generally been a disrespectful fuckwit to her parents. Yet they keep giving her basically whatever she wants. It's really kind of annoying.

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.

I find the problem is its always the ones who are irritating and rude who get the attention so they often are held up as a reputation of how kids must be, its easy to overlook the ones who are not part of the stereotype as people are more likly to remember the one 13 year old that got shirty with the and not the ten that just passed by quietly without causing trouble. Every generation has a new gripe and with all the press attention the nasty ones get its just more broadcast in this generation. After all what sells more papers "14 year old stabs classmate" or "14 year old saves drowning classmate"?
(Note, registered because of this thread, so ohai, 'sup dudes!)
Quite frankly, there's certain kids these days that make me want to grab them by their neck, and ram their face into the nearest brick wall till their face is perfectly flat >:|.
Now, I'm 18 years old, and I personally grew up way too fast (Not like these kids we're hating on here though, I had to take up my man-responsibilities in our household too fast. D: )
But these kids take that shit to a whole new level, they don't really value life and property like the "Normal" folks do
.
Granted, they tend to be more of an exception than the general rule, but that doesn't remove the fact there's a lot of them and that the problem is systematically getting worse.
The thing I'm really worried about though, what happens when they become parents? Can you imagine the brats that would come out of that? D:
I know though, if I ever get kids: (Joining the Army, not sure if I have time for kids in between the IRL CSS matches against Team Insurgency. ;D)
If he or she ever turns out like this: it's straight to the Military with the little brat >:|.
(Living in the Netherlands btw, but unlike the other dude pointed out, it's not exactly a perfect little world with kids of that age everywhere, maybe in the high social classes, but coming from a blue collar working family, I wouldn't really know for sure!)

I'm 15, nearly 16, and I hate almost everyone my age and younger I know. Most of them are loud, stupid, obnoxious and just plain rude. To be honest, I would not bat an eyelid if I was told that most of them died. In fact, I would probably jump for joy at the news.
However it isn't all bad. I know some intelligent, polite and hard-working people my age, but they are the minority.

Everything wrong about today's society is right in that mic recording,don't listen to the kid but instead listen to the parents..THAT is the problem.
They're reasoning with him..now this in and of itself is fine, but when the child is acting like a baby it's time to put the foot down and take action which the father eventually does but only after this kid has gone mental.
See, that would have NEVER happened in my household, and i'm willing to bet it probably wouldn't have went over too well in your homes either, all my parents had to do was give me a look and i knew i was crossing the line.
Kids today have free roam, and if people actually think the kids of today are no different than the kids of the 70's then they're fooling themselves, every generation is a little more spoiled and a little more needy than the last.
Some of our parents and our grandparents grew up with a simple rule: "Spare the rod, spoil the child" well folks the rod has not only been spared we broke it in half and threw in into the fire, we are no better for it and now for some families it is the child that runs the household.

I love rose tinted glasses. To anyone using that ananolgy. Reminds me of the Beatles.
Kids from 5 - 16 in area fail horribly, I know you might say its a biased view, but you;d have to experiance it to realise just how horrible, loathsome and unworthy of rights they are. They are anti-social to the point of rabid animalism and have no respect for anyone or anything. I'm 17, and I feel old ranting like this, but they are worthless. They don't have compassion, they don't consider others, they are destructive and hostile for no reason. They don't hate, they don't want to be rebels, they are just chronically so stupid they are working on base instincts and can't distinguish between social interaction and violence. It's a case of being different from them (they are all drunken clones of one another) and you hide, or get beaten until they forget what they're doing. I have seen 10 year olds drinking vodka at the side of the road, gangs of 7 to 10 late teens beating 7th years up in the middle of the road, 12 year olds carry knives, and public transport seating is an art, you have to avoid the front, the back, and the middle simultaniously (different sorts of people, it sounds like Im stereotyping but I can accurately associate "gangs" with where they sit on a bus, and what those people will be like). The parents are mostly of support from the government, and there are many more commiting tax fraud and stealing benefits. These children are given all they want at a young age from parents that grew up in the same way, got pregnant at 13 and made another sprog of a worm.
There are a few worthwhile people who live here don't get me wrong, but they are far and few between and vary on how long they survive. I have utmost respect for the community who didn't fall into the abyss of mind numbing faux existance, and made it out of this place well rounded and good people. I will leave here as soon as possible, if my town is an indication of children today I dont want to see tomorrow.
I want some rose tinted glasses now

The reason lot of kids are like this nowadays is because of all the shit music in our generation. Every rap song these days talks about drugs, sex, and beating/raping/other abuses of women. Then of course we have all these female singers on Disney that get so much publicity with young adults (which amazes me, who above the age of 10 watches Disney unless they're really bored?) and then they end up being whores, like Britney, Lindsey, and the soon to join, Hannah Montana. With all these figures, people think it is ok to do this kind of shit. If you like current day rap music, you are retarded and don't know good music, to say the least. Mainstream for everything these days has become sex and drugs. Then, we have retards who don't understand why our Country is like this, when it is blindingly obvious. On the subject of kids not talking back to adults and modesty and that stuff, I treat an adult like I would any other person. Why shouldn't I? I bitched to bus driver who was yelling at my friend for swearing (which he didn't) like I would to any of my friends. I treat everyone with respect as long as they show respect to me and my friends. I'd never walk up to someone and just start being an asshole, unlike most of my generation.
Just thought I'd toss my two cents in here as well.
Now I'm an 80s child (shuddap), and no I won't apologize for anything that came out of it. I have to whole heartedly agree with the person that posted the Socrates quote and the subsequent responses it generated. The junior of any generation will always be viewed more negatively. But coming from the most recent full generation prior to the current trend, it is a significant deal worse, but not entirely do to the children themselves.
I just want to go on the record stating that the country that I live in has lax laws about certain substances.
When I was a lad, back in the halcyion da ... Back in high school, being "cooked" or drunk for classes was not uncommon, as it usually isn't with schooling. It was the substance going in to the body (ie, Marijuana and/or copious amounts of beer) combined with the quantity (usually enough to make us stupid). My sister however, six years my junior (not a full generation, I know) and I'm going to use clever street slang and what not here, was provided with full and unrequitted access to "blow" and "smack" (Not sure how lax the moderators on here are with use of terminology)
Granted that wouldn't be entirely the fault of the youth, but the provider. At the same time however, that does take things a bit to the extreme.
I'm wasn't a model to people everywhere for the ", it's my antidrug", in fact I was probably born to be the target audience for D.A.R.E. (in joke for the 80s kids). The problem now is a combination of things.
1. Lack of parental involvement - And by that ... I mean discipline.
Parents aren't allowed to discipline their children, timeouts aside. "Stupid" is the only thing that comes to mind.
2. Lack of educator involvement - Educators need to more appropriately take on that role, instead of being lazy (for the most part) and foisting the responsibility back to the parents. You entered that career to teach, bloody well do it.
3. Misplaced law enforcement - I love watching police officers on the news go off saying "We made a large drug bust today, damn smelly hippies ... hurr hurr hurr", totally oblivious to the fact that there are four Crystal Meth labs brewing next door that they didn't bother with. I'm not condoning mind altering substances, but for crying outloud focus on the ones that ruin people's lives with a little bit more urgency.
Again it all comes back to perception of what exactly makes a generation worse. Not counting that listing crap from above, the absolute largest issue is a lack of communication between young generation and older generations. If everyone could get it through to sit back and listen for a change (much like I've noticed folks here doing, thankfully), then perhaps these generational gaps wouldn't be quite so ... wide.
Anyways, thanks to everyone who actually read this BS soapbox.
