Todays Youth...

As i'm looking now into today's youth I see utter dissapointment to be honest with you. I see girls at the age of 10, 11, 12, 13 pregnant already. Shit at that age i was outside playing tag still or watching cartoons. Mind you I'm 19. I see boys already in jail for murder, rape, assault. Just what the hell is going on!?! What is happening with the small peepole? Girls are so worried about makeup, boys, sex, fashion and friends at such a young age now. Boys the same thing, worried about things that shouldnt be of any concern to them yet. I honestly don't know whats going on...I was hoping maybe someone here did.

and these things havent been around forever?

sinful things have been an influence on children ever since biblical times.

Not as much as today in case you haven't noticed.

not true. In the 1960s children snuck off to rock concerts in spite of their parents telling them that rock and roll was evil.

er uhm..ok?

Do you live in USA? 😕

Yeah..

actually you are right...

one of my friends told a kid who was looking as in age of 10 that he shouldn't smoke. and the kid told him to f.uck of..
honestly. it is getting scary 🙁

and suz.. it is not only states.
have you heard about that 15 your old guys who killed some homeless person.

All of this has bee around for a very very long time, but since America is becoming more "open" you hear about it all. Long ago when someone 18 or younger had a kid, they were sent off to live with other relitaves, and since we have DNA test we can find out who killed who a lot easier. Think of back long ago when someone would kill another person in an alliey... there was nothing to go by, but since we have camera's and test we see more now.

And by the way, I'm 16 and I smoke and drink... is that really anyones elses problem but mine?!

(Clovie... I really liek you sig)

(thankyou)

it is your problem only.
but it doesn't change the fact, that when i was younger life was looking a bit different.

Yes it is, you might think you're only harming yourself, but think about this hypothetically, what if one of those nights that you're drunk you drive or something, and manage to run someone over, who's problem is it then? Obviously older people drink irresponsibly as well, but they at least know their limits.

Or this whole thing with drug abuse. What is so harsh about young peoples' lives today that they have to smoke weed or take ecstacy or whatever to feel happy? Are they engaging in hard labour? Are the forced to walk like 2 miles to school? No, technically speaking, life has never been easier for a generation, so what gives? Why is being depressed or whatever the new hip thing? 🙄

And the whole thing about teen pregnancy, I find that just grotesque, don't even get me started.

Agreed

Youth these days seem to think that they can do whatever they want and nothing bad will happen to them.

I agree fully, youth these days are changing from what i grow up or how i grew up.....and it's true it's because usa is becoming more "open" we're losing our values

mhm- im 15 but im tryin my best i can stay in the minority of youth that have those good values

bravo to you!
