Used to get the occasional hiding as a youngster and was never undeserved. Parents were friends with the school principal so after getting the cane at school there'd be a bit more later on...so we were pretty farkin well behaved at school. Biggest mistake ever was hiding the leather belt that was the old weapon of choice. sh*t got serious when it was found again. Yeah there's the generational thing but you can't honestly say that things are not getting worse at an exponential rate. Nobody has any respect for anyone these days and kids pick up on that and it amplifies the problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 10 year Olds fighting, drinking, doing graffiti, etc But I also see kids giving up their seats and helping out other people and have genuine compassion and empathy for their fellow human. You tend to remember the horrible more than the good. Maybe this generation while flawed maybe isn't so badMaybe it's us who are wrong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ice is even overtaking mull in a few of the country areas etcYeah - every generation has looked down at the future ones and shaken their heads, but I do think that things are getting a bit more "raw" as time goes on.edit: add to it the political correctness etc - a whack over the ears now gets the adult up on charges instead of an additional kick up the butt for the kid when they get home to their parents and young punks in the street are "troubled teens" now rather than "sh*theads" Edited 02/07/14 04:33 AM by Rab 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All their stupidity is recorded and out out for everyone to see. Also kids have a popularity complex. They strive for it. They crave it like we crave horsepower. In my day it was about friends you had. Now it's about "likes" and views.How do you get most views?Usually something shocking like giovanna plow man. kids are always going to be little terrors and do and say some really really incredibly stupid and dumb sh*t.Now it's just accessible for everyone to see 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
