Kids these days

Aaaargh! My life is passing me by and I didn't even realize it until last week! I'm getting OLD!

Yeah well, I'm really just thirteen, but when you feel like you can say 'Kids these days' and mean it, it means you're getting old!

Last week, my cousins came to my house, and spent their entire stay dancing around the house punctuating their speeches with burps and farts, singing songs about boobs, and spending eight hours a day on the playstation and another eight on the computer, searching for more boob songs!

And what's worse, my siblings have joined in on the vulgarity. Kids these days don't got no respect for their elders, like to talk back, and don't believe in subtlety. It just isn't the same as when I was young. That's two years ago. I'm older than them by two years. What's the world coming to?

Kids these days...

I think its because they aren't ashamed of what they are doing, and parents are scared to spank them because there are so many laws against child abuse. Also parents want to raise them differently then how they were raised, when the way they were raised worked. It showed the kids that they aren't the boss, they can't disrespect their elders...if they did they would smacked in the face. Parents need to show their kids that the world doesn't revolve around them. Thats how i feel about that.

I'm totally with DJ on this one, except make it an international holiday, minor-kicking extravaganza! Add in a little brick throwing and some baseball bats and we've got ourselves a great holiday!:D:D:D (but don't worry, all you minors in JA will be safe ;))

Yes... I was spanked when I was younger...sure, maybe I didn't turn out so well :D, but I behave almost 24/7...almost :D:D.

I have something to bring to everyone's attention. Most homeschoolers are great. I'm homeschooled and I have a lot of friends that are VERY respectful of their elders, and even people younger than them. They have respect for everyone. They don't swear or make nasty jokes...does this say something? We (homeschoolers) are raised and taught at home and we turn out like this. We spend more time with our parents and we appreciate them more. Something about public schools seems to make things like that worse. :(

Kids are a lot less respectful these days. Just look at all those brats on Jenny Jones, Maury, etc. I love it though when those drill instructors get in their faces!!!

I think part of the problem is that a lot of parents aren't spanking their children nowadays because supposedly it's wrong. I'm not saying kids should get a smack on the butt for every little thing they do wrong, but once in a while, when they really deserve it they should get it. My parents smacked me when I did something disrespectful, and I learned from it, believe me!

What I really hate is when I walk by some little children in school.... no respect for older students or adults. When I was little that wasn't how it was done... or at least I don't think so, my memory is weak.

With the exception of the wicked cool JA members we got around here ALL kids are freakin morons. Theyre all lazy, vulgar, and stupid. We need to have a national day where everyone age 18 and under gets kicked in the pants for an hour or three.

One more reason why I hate little children (meaning anyone two years or younger than me (present company excluded) :)). That, and then when they sing. They don't seem to realize that their singing sounds just as good as a monkey's scream when has cramps.

They have no respect. Darn kids.

I know that society is growing and people mature faster, but is that a good thing? Sure, maturity is a good thing, but maturity is supposed to be about self control and responsibility. It isn't supposed to be all about sex and vulgar jokes and the sort....I'm 16 and I'm talking like this.

Well...my point is, I'm 16 and I'm not half as bad as more than half of Americans.

This is just a sad country...well...not the country. The whole world is falling victim to the dark side...muahahahahahaha...*ahem*

I have an idea...how about I shut up? Sounds like a plan, doesn't it?

*sits on the porch waving his walking stick* Damn kids keep taking my apples.


Well if you look at it, not only are younger kids acting older but so is society. Accepting more of how people act. letting them act for themselves. long ago women weren't allowed to vote and now look. that is but one example upon the many of many out there. Hell i've talked to people online and one friends little 14 year old sister says she's in love with a 16 year old and that's she's ready for sex. to me that's just WRONG. if i was there i'd have a little chat with her, but you can't force your own opinion of how people should react. Society has grown and there's no stopping it.


I may be old..but i'm still a Kid at heart
*skips through the house. thinking about boobies*

Of course it is. All depends the balance between genetic inheritance, how you are raised by your parents and in what way your enviroment (sp?) affects you.

Let me get this straight...

Kids 2 years younger than you are going around singing about boobs? Does someone see something wrong with this? I know HE does. I know of a kid that's about 7, and he says the F word in every sentence. I'm 16 and I restrain myself from saying the slightest dirty word. Doesn't that say something about decency? It IS possible to keep yourself in line no matter the age.

and I spend a lot of time with kids - so I know what Im talking about. the best thing is just to casually step down to their level - then show them how to act superior over certain situations - that will most certainly get through to them :)
