Who else is disguisted by children nowadays?

[scotth266]

Yes, I agree completely. You think you're too young at 21? I'm 16 and I hate it. Especially the clothing and attitude of these little runts. I had to wait for stuff my kids will damn well do the same. I've noticed either parents are far too liberal with their kids (I saw kids no older than 12 drinking cider on a street corner the other night) or too protective as in "No Timmy! Don't do that, you might get hurt and can never experience the world because of me, your thicko paret"

It's all bloody annoying. I remember when adults were adults and kids were kids. Now kids are trying to be adults and adults are trying to be kids. No wonder the world's going to shit.

Rant over, I can relax again

A nice summation of my thoughts. The real problem these days isn't so much the kids as the parents. Parents need to be strict about some things and lax on others. For instance, it's not cool to let your 12 year old play Halo. I hate to sound like a news reporter(they are my greatest enemies), but the game is rated M for a reason. Hell, my parents didn't let me play M-rated games in our house till I was 16. I don't think I suffered too badly for it either.

Parents just need to realize that being a parent involves some ACTUAL FREAKING PARENTING on their part. One time, there was a 12-year-old next door to me in the doctor's office. The kid was SREAMING HIS HEAD OFF, swearing like a drunken sailor, bitching about how he "DON'T NEED NO FUCKING SHOT!", for five minutes straight. The parent during this whole time was being more feeble than a limp spaghetti noodle, and about half as useful. The doctor there is a really nice person, but she was at her limit. When she came to look me over(routine checkup), I made a joke that I would hold him down for her, if she felt like it(I was still a minor at the time, so I probably could've gotten away with it too). And you know what? She looked like she was ACTUALLY CONSIDERING IT.

Please note: this is why spanking was invented. Every once in a while, a kid does something so stupid and out of line, you have to beat their butt.

Sorry that I seem harsh and evil and swore a lot just now, but whiny kids already irk me. And I'm not even middle-aged yet

@ MelziGurl's Original Post: Actually, from my mothers own experience, children didn't ask for much back in her day. You knew better than to ask. The only take away available to you was fish and chips, even then you only got it every second week as a treat. There was also more emphasis on family values, something that is lacking in todays society. Things were better back then.


Back then they also mistreated woman, were racist, hated gays, and just thought that pretty much anything that was different from what they deemed "normal" was inferior. I guess my point is that all generations have their faults, you just have to make light of it.

I think that today's younger humans have it easier than my generation did. When I was in Elementary school; we feared our second/fifth grade teacher like none other.
Was it because of being suspended? Nope! Getting a firm talking to? Hah I wish!
We had to fear the wrath of "Miss Suzy" also known as six long rulers wrapped together with duck tape. If we even made a complaining peep after doing something wrong, we'd feel the pain. On our hands or knees and especially our backsides. I still remember the welts I got.
I didn't even go to a religious nun-ruled school or anything, this was plain old 35th Street Public Elementary School.

It was after I was finishing up middle school that I found out that that teacher had been fired for child abuse. I'm not saying that hitting children is acceptable, but if they only knew what my generation had to go through, I'm pretty sure they'd think twice before doing some things.

Little kids are annoying and obnoxious and many adults are idiots. Frankly, people in general are starting to annoy me. All as I start to lose sanity.

 

[Turtleboy1017]

Love how many of the current generation of kids are disgusted by the way that the "lower" class act, when in reality many of the things that you do yourselves may be the thing annoying others.

Everyone always thinks that the next generation is trash, my grandfather despised what my father did when he was a child, and same went for me. The introduction of the internet just seems to have created a place for all people who hate people who act stupid to band together and ***** about it.

I will admit that society has been getting a bit too lenient on children who act like idiots, but as long as we have a justice system that works and people who have common sense, nothing will occur that will destroy society or flip life upside down as we know it.

This is just my opinion, but no matter what you, or anyone says there have always been, and will always be idiots and brats who act in disgusting ways to others, provoking hate from there "elders".

 

[Doug]

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]

I agree and you know what if you really think this generation sucks so much, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!

What, no Chinese!? Nay, I say, things wheren't uniformly better back then

sadly i have been attacked by this horrible generation twice first time i was waiting outside my school on spring break a few years back for a friend (we had a school project to do over the spring break) while waiting i was attacked by about 5 kids, knowing tae kwon do i managed to injure one of them (after he threw a punch for me not handing over my HARD EARNED money)i kicked him in the chest and then his friends got my by the arms and neck while anohter was punching me untill i could hardly see straight, when they decided enough was enough they dropped me and kicked me while on the ground, it was painful, very very painful, a car drove by and called the police when they saw that she was calling for help they booked it and yelled "your f*cking lucky kid" i must have been as i got news from that same lady the next day (a friend of the friends who i was going too) the police had go them...

as for the second attack i wasnt so lucky, i was at a bus stop in PUBLIC playing my DS with a firned, a kid came in maybe 17 or so and asked for the time, i gave him the time, 5 seconds later he said "alright hand over your gameboys and money" and people just watched nobody helped as soon as one tried (a passerby went to get help) he booked it across a busy street and to my bad luck karma didnt make him get hit by a car, i lost my DS but not my money as i resisted the punch to the face was worth it i suppose, but i had to wait 3 months to make the spare money for a DS thanks to him...

mypoint is im not even safe in public no mare

All generations have their faults, this is undeniably true. And none are really any better or worse, but that doesn't mean we can't try to improve the current generation.

The disrespectful shit I don't care in the slightest about, but this spoiled "I will have everything I want" attitude pisses me the fuck off. It's nowhere near all kids, but it's often enough that I have to put up with it when dealing with people only 4-6 years younger than myself, like my sister's friends (I'm 21, fyi).

The real problem is the parents. They refuse to take responsibility for their children and show them how to behave rationally. They can't deny their precious, unique snowflake anything, and it makes a lot of them into entitled twats. Some can deal with it fine, but speaking from experience, if you're not forced to work for anything as you grow up, you'll never be able to throughout the rest of your life.

Again, the problem isn't the kids, they're just the symptom. The problem is the lazy parents who refuse to actually be parents.

IMO, they should require a license to reproduce, and if you can't pass the test, you are shot instantly.

One further comment on kids today: They oughta STAY THE HELL OFF MY LAWN!!

 

[Some bullets]

I know a lass from poland, she is uber-intelligent by most english peoples standards today and a freaking genius by americas standards! Is everyone from poland attractive?

The first sentence should have a period after the word 'Poland' instead of a comma. The words "Poland", "English", and "America" are proper nouns and should be capitalized. "Americas" should be spelled "America's" because it is possessive.

BTW...I'm an American.

You're also pedantic, congratulations. And have you ever played COD4 online? If anyone that isn't American even opens their mouth they get an earful of abuse for not being American... and an awful lot of racists on their aswell, don't know why?

Every country has it's share of moron,racism, and genuis. We should'nt compare them or undercut them just to make a bloody insult. It's the same as grouping you with someone you know is an idiot just because he lives next door.

Come to think of it I dont even know my neighbours that well... and its a woman not a guy.

listen im not trying to make you upset or insult your grammer i'm just saying that if your going to use this forum as a way to vent your frustration with the world start your own forum and ***** all you want.

Well, I am british and I put us down too so I hardly think I was being "bitchy" in my original comment which apparently started this thing. If anything I was being complimentary of the Polish, Poland has had a rough time over the past 100 years so I think it needs complimenting... Why wont you let someone else have the attention for one second America, Why?

Your origional post started this yes ,and I have no problem with it, my problem was in you saying that the majority of Americans are racist on xbox live, yes some are racist and morons but not all what you say it is to be. This is how sterotypes get continued. Plus I said that every country has it fair share of idiots so I didn't include you. As to you being bitchy I think that you were and so am I for arguing this pointless matter. So I am not angry at you I just get tired of people who say america is filled with idiots. Our country does but that doesn't mean I am or my neighbor as you so blantently hint at. So let's just drop it.

 

[kokirisoldier]

I think this is on topic.

Here is short little blog/rant I wrote on the idiocy plaguing teenagers these days.

(language)
"I just love it when teenagers say things like:

"live fast die fun"

"party hard Die Young"


What if I ACTUALLY gave you that option to party hard and...then Die?

Would you take it?

Living past your 20's seems pretty fucking cool when you actually get there."


END OF RANT:

The reason I get bent out of shape when teenagers say things like this is mainly because: I am young (21) and I have seen some of my brothers in arms Die Horrible, horrible deaths.

One had his head completely blown off by an IED. (PFC Brian he was 18)

The other was burned alive by petrol, locked in by his seat belt in the Hummer (PV2 Travis he was 21)

The Other one we pulled out of the vehicle on fire. He had a chance. He died 4 hours later due to severe burns. (CPL Browne he was 24)


This may seem like I'm bitching, but I really wish the younger kids would just stop saying stupid shit like that.

Because I actually happens.

 

[Hedberger]

I think most of us posting in this, including me, thread is growing up very fast as well. People used to be 40+ before complaining about idiot kids. ^^

In my community i've seen kids starting to drink and evolve latent alcoholism at the age of 13. But apart from that i usually have few problems with them. They probably wouldn't get away with screaming obscenities without their parents shoving their cellphones down their throat though. They can be real pricks too if you don't treat them like you would treat a friend your age.

A lot of people seem to complain about their cellphones though and i don't see why. If their parents wants to keep an eye on where they are then why not?

The people i hate the most are probably the people that are just a bit older than me. Most of them are pricks and a lot of the 12-year olds aspire to be like them. It's also usually the older ones that draw the young ones into drinking and a lot of the older ones take really young girlfriends. Presumably because they can get trick them into sex.

I would hate their parents too but usually they are nice people they just fail to raise their young because one of the other parents is too liberal or don't care for their offspring and keep them distracted by throwing cellphones and brand new consoles at them.

 

[ViolentlyHappy91]

I remember getting my first mobile 3 years ago (grade 9) and it was 2 years old when I got it and the only reason I did is because I went out of state for a funeral and my parents wanted to contact me. I had to buy all my technology myself, working hard for every little bit, in the past year, i've gotten 2 new things, my Computer, and I bought parts that were from 2 models back to save money and did it all on a budget, and my guitar, spent $1000 on it and had to sacrifice a lot of things to get it.

Children expect something for nothing and wonder why the elderly and even people like me - being 17 and having morals and knowing what the world is like - look at them in disgust.
It all boils down to the inability to discipline your kids, they cry and cry and scream and the parents can't do shit, so they give in, I was hit across the legs with a yard stick every time I was being a little shit and I've turned out fine, shit I even help old people cross the street sometimes because I was brought up with morals. Kids can go die in a fire now because they suffer from head up ass syndrome.

tl;dl
Yes, kids are disgusting now.

 

[TheRockNRolla]

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.

I agree. All kids like to think they're mature, and know everything and act like little dicks in the process.

 

[AdamAK]

Well isn't that ironic..
I've seen quite a lot of posts starting off with "I'm only 15" after which the posting person attempts to express his hate for the current young generation, which is based on the fact that apparently many kids pretend to be mature.
Has it ever crossed your mind that you are doing the same as these annoying kids? By moaning about the kids of your age you are doing the same thing they're doing, albeit in a different way.
Does not getting a mobile phone at a young age make you any better than other people? I highly doubt it. Yet you pretend to be somehow 'better' and more 'mature' than these brats.

However, I do agree that the youngest generation is rather annoying. During the 6 years that I went to grammar school I was rather detested by my fellow 'students' who would show their stupidity on a daily basis. Nevertheless, it weren't just these kids who acted foolishly, the teachers were usually no good either. And from bad teaching comes even more stupidity. The young generations are not the ones that I worry about, though, but I am more fearful of the stupidity of the older generations. Too often do I hear complaints about politicians simply because they are politicians. People who treat football and beer as if these things were the best inventions since sliced bread, and who consider anyone who doesn't like it to be an idiot. People who live as greedy bastards and complain about others when things go wrong financially.

Call me a narcisst or an elitist. I don't care. It's not just the kids who are collectively dumb, but other generations suffer from the same retardedness. Always has been this way, always will be like this.

Evolution doesn't seem to lead to more intelligence, I'm afraid...

 

[Spektre41]

Every single generation is the "worst one ever", wherein all the kids act like snots and disrespect authority. This generation is no different, and subesquent generations will have the exact same complaints raised against.

Maybe I'm just being optimistic, but being a little bastard as a child is a natural part of growing up. We live in a materialism based society that puts the new shiny toy as the necessary step in being a liked person, and kids these days (and I realize this sounds like nothing more than a simple excuse) have to try to fit in just to feel accepted. They get it into their heads that owning new things and being "tougher" than the rest will get them ahead in life. When they get that kind of thinking engraved into them, what are they supposed to think? Are they just supposed to realize somewhere along the line that everything they've been taught previous is wrong, and that's that?

Oh, and you gotta love the physical punishment route. "You're being rude, therefore I have to smack you around with a belt. That totally won't instill any negative aspects into your life and will be completely beneficial to your future. Remember, don't make any mistakes, or papa's gonna belt you one!" Yay for child violence! Whoo!

I agree with the rest of your points, but I gotta mention this. Smacking a child when they fuck up is not in anyway equivalent to whipping them with a belt. When they cross the line, smack them upside the head. Physical pain is the greatest teacher that has ever and will ever exist. If they do something stupid, cuff them upside the head and they'll know not to do it again.

It rarely works on teenagers, most of whom are in a "rebellious" phase, but on younger children is works wonders to teach them a baseline of right and wrong, provided you also explain why they fucked up.

I'm not saying it should happen often, or go to any sort of extreme, but the occasional bop on the head will teach a child more than words ever will.

Yeah, I dont remember saying that most americans are racist. I said there are alot of racists on COD4... I never said they were american racists and even if they were since when did "people who play COD4" amount to the whole of the US? Also I think "bitchy" might mean different things in england to america because the way that your using it doesnt make sense to me, neither of us are being bitchy for arguing.

But why do you need to smack them? There has to be affective alternatives than hitting a kid who probably didn't even know what they were doing is wrong, or at least was dabbling in some prickish mischief.

Not to mention, most people talking about "a quick smack" seem to really mean "beat them within an inch of their life".

 

[matteo123]

I'm 14. I don't have a cell phone, I don't drink, smoke, do drugs or have sex. I'm a dying breed of good teenagers. I don't know why half of the student populus do those things.
