Todays Youth: A Danger?

An article on how today’s youth are way more aggressive and destructive nowadays.

Like many of us sometime you might have ran into these “NEW AGE DISRESPECTFUL” teenagers on the street or in a park or downtown in your city but no matter where you go they all have the same disgusting no good attitude. Where do these kids now a day get the language they use from? For an example the other day I stuck my head out the window to call my kids in for dinner and that’s when I heard a neighborhood kid no more then 7or 8 say you “FU*KING C*NT” to another child. I was so shocked I almost fell out the window.

Its unbelievable how they act towards adults now. Give me a break I’m only 29 and I have never disrespected an adult like I see kids doing now a days. I remember not to far back if I got caught saying something like that my mother would wash my mouth out and if my father caught me well lets say I wouldn’t be able to sit for a week. Even if you where being ignorant to a stranger they would give you a punch.

Not today though, now they pull guns on each other, sell dope, steal cars, murder, fight and rob. Today its almost to scary to travel down street by yourself because you to afraid one of these trigger happy kids might accidental shoot you over something stupid. Who raises these kids? My kids are overall really good kids they don’t swear, fight, or do dope but I think that’s because I take the time to know what’s happening in their lives even though it’s tiring. I could just let them do what they want but they would surely turn out to be criminals themselves.

I really think the problem lies at home where the child lives. Parents need to know what their child is involved in no matter what even if you sometimes got to violate their privacy “WITHIN REASON” to keep them safe! So parents and soon to be parents, please do yourself a favor and many others and keep updated on what your child is doing and try to steer them in the right direction now before its to late! All time a day with your child will pay off big time in the long run.

    Often the kids who deal drugs seldom have a stable home life, suffice it to say. If they can’t go back to a parent who cares about them then theres no one to stop them. And even if a parent asks about the going ons in his or hers childs life that doesn’t garantee that the child will truthfully answer.

    Parents also grow impatient and are detered by their childs determination to act against what they are told to do. Theres also the fact that parents cannot physically prevent a child from running away and then doing what they please without going to extreme extents to retreive the child (if he or she is that keen on remaining away from home). The only real solution to that sort of thing would be some sort of counciling and maybe that family hasn’t got the money for professional councilling. Further more, if that family is spending most of their time trying to make ends meet somehow then its probably not frequent that they have spare time to search for a free guide for their child and even further more if they find a guide or some sort of aid then there isnt a garantee that the kid will go.

    Its easy to disobey someone if everythings already been taken away from you and you’re not being punished for going against the rules.

    I’m old fashioned. I remember not having a TV. I remember peace and quiet, painting, day-dreaming, walking, playing with friends, knitting, sewing, making things, playing ludo and snakes and ladders, reading quiz books, cooking for my mum and dad, cleaning the house. studying.

    I remember when people, adults AND children, spoke English using proper words because they were well educated and didn’t need to use expletives 5 times in one short sentence because they were too thick or lazy to think of a word which would describe what they were trying to convey.

    I remember when swearing was shocking and people complained about it. I remember when children sat quietly at school and LEARNED and didn’t have ADHD.

    I remember when parents said “No, it’s far too late, time for bed,” and meant it.

    I remember when children knew who to look to for guidance, rules, boundaries and good example instead of looking to TV/girls magazines/celebrities.

    I remember when children weren’t treated like mini gods and goddesses, but as ordinary mortals from whom some sense of community responsibility was required.

    Kids today think they know everything because they heard or saw it on TV so it must be true and not only true – it must be true for EVERYONE! They’re bored by adults who take life a little slower, who think for themselves and who DARE to challenge the media because they have the foresight to see where it’s leading the next generation and the one after that.

    Yep! I’m glad I’m old fashioned, am discerning, wise and everything else that’s unfashionable today.

    its true that youths are with their degrading value . but give me a break ! all youths are not . I am a teen of 15 but i know my limits ,. so better to not blame a single youth or parents . outer surrounding, their buddies , their neigbours, relatives all have influence on youth.
