Thread: Children of Today

Today's kids believe that they DESERVE things when they haven't earned them. That's one of the main problems - why we have "wiggas" and "Chavs." Parents give their children money for EXISTING these days - I was lucky to get 50p after doing hard labour all day! My mum always said, "We are a family. We work to make things easier for each other. You don't get paid for being part of this family." My chores were proof that I was a part of the family. (Huzzah, right?) I never got paid for breathing. I was quickly taught the value of money and good grades.

what age group of children? theres nothing in particular about kids that i think needs to be mentioned, expect for obesity in kids is getting high

Children do get things easy these days. I always find it unfair how much my younger brother has compared to when I was his age. Although he complained because we had things he didn't have but there is an age difference. I had to work to get money, he gets what £15 a month of allowance.

Well that's cuz your parents are older and probably have less energy to give him as much attention as with you in the past. Besides 15 might still not be a whole lot, gotta considering inflation

Hell back then I can get a gum with a tattoo for 5 cents, now I can't even hire someone overseas to make a shoe for me with 5 cents.

kids are growing up to fast well they think they are but i dont think so because i went to my brothers house the other day he has a 8 year old son and he thinks he is a really grown up adult and i go aww arent you cute your tall now and he says hey dont speak to me like that im a adult i was like what !?

Children of today... getting worse indeed...

When it was the good old days this is how kids was here... ^^

On the field were little boys running around playing soccer...Girls play "congkak" (traditional game) They never shout at their parents unless its for something small like food...they are scared of their dad... They play a lot outside....do rigorous and adventurous activities...running around, climbing trees...swim in the river...go in the bushes...hide and seek...*sighs*

Nowadays childrens...

Shout in vulgar words...watch porn even they are just 5- 6 years old...(i know one.. -.-)
never respect older people including parents and teachers... sit all day at home playing games..and become fat bastards making troubles for parents...smokes from the age of 7?
Does group moslesting by the age of 8? Lets guys touch all over a girl's body? WTF??!

I blame Media for most of this "damages" to the mind of kids... Cartoons from disneys? For kids??! Disney's original movies? THOSE are suppose to be ****ing rated PG13 -.- why U? Kissing scenes and all at first...and the kids will slowly think that kissing and stuff is ok..and they go further?... think smoking is cool and do drugs after that?

Peek parents watching porn... ~.~ Parents that "torture" their childs... Parents that don't give a ****....

Society that never cares...society that never helps.... society that is selfish....

*sighs*....

well the media always plays a big part in today's society. With all the music that is around, all of the films that are out and with the amount of violence that can be found within games is what more then when I was child. I remember playing Theme Park on my old old old windows 95 computer. At least back then the graphics were simple and didn't really look real so kids didn't start to get too violent. You look at games like Painkiller, Unreal, Halo and any other games where the detail is so clear and real it starts to be imprinted in kids minds, who will accept anything they see.
