Whats wrong with the youth today?

-Pass Out Game

-Salvia

-illegal drugs

-sex

-comatose-drinking

These are favorite hobbies of teens nowadays (12-17)

Im 21 yrs old not that old but i dont remember me engaging in those activities when i was young, i dont even recall any of those things being cool when i was that age. I live in amsterdam so i've smoked weed when i was a teen..But the whole "puberty fase" is like its getting kinda out of hand..Ok sex is a little different but still now i hear 11 yr olds have sex, and thats just too young. What is it with our culture, society that makes young children engage or even think about all these things? I mean they are our future, but it seems to me theyre getting dumber all the time.

It seems to me parents have a lot less control on their children, and children get or are ignorant and naive at a younger age now. Whats up with that???

Im half filipino and when i go to the philippines i dont (or hardly) see this kind of behaviour in teens there. Its mostly the more rich and "civilized" countries. Why is that?

Maybe YOU should get with da timez

/sarcasm.

Honestly I don't do any of that stuff, so its not all of us, just the select few who get on TV and Youtube.

Your right even though i am a teen i still find what they are doing wrong and something must be done to stop them for harming themselves or even kill themselves for that matter. i think parents just dnt want to bother anymore and think that this will help their children in social gatherings with ppl their age but it's just plain wrong!!

The youth has always been messed up, it doesn't matter what generation it is.

Poor parenting and not beating the kids down enough:D

im 18 i agree most kids are just dumb i have no problem with people doing these things but its when people dont realise that they have to take responsibility for their actions and realise what they are doing has consequences

I meet some teens who are just awesome, lovley kids, they leave you walking away with a smile. I tend to only see the bad ones when there is a group of them, I have never in my life had an encounter, or witnessed someone else getting grief by a teenager who was alone. I know what it's all about, but it'll take me hours of thought to get it into writing, but to be basic, it's all leads to the need to impress, lack of understanding otherwise and a narrow vision.

Just thought i'd mention this while on the subject. Just yesterday at the end of my day, I was sitting in my car at the beach car-park, texting my boss and my girlfriend just after loading my board into my car and slipping on a t-shirt. While I was sitting there, I could see and hear a group of about 6 teenagers, aged about 14-16 gathered at the bus stop, laughing and arguing amongst themselves. I could tell from the tone of their voices that they were out to be a bunch of pricks, but I was nowhere near them and wasn't my problem. Anyone who passed by however got stares, abuse or something chucked at them. I was considering calling the police and letting them know a group of wankers were causing people grief, but then something happaned.

The silly fools, not knowing what they were doing threw what looked like the remainder of a mars bar into the face of a passing girl. This girl was the daughter to the biggest surf school of our area, and her dad just saw it. Her dad, along with a group of friends and collegues are normally very chilled out passive people, as the typical surfer mentality is, but they couldn't let this slide.

Next thing the kids saw, about 6 full grown men walking towards them, a look of righteous anger on ones face. The little wankers forgot about the bus they were waiting to catch and run off.

I think your blowing this a bit out of proportion. I suggest you ask your parents how things were in their day. Some of the stuff my father has told me about the things him and his mates got up to in the 70's make me think sometimes that kids today have calmed right down.

- Pass out game I've done this, but I did it long before I really got into drugs. It was just something to feel that was out of the ordinary, it was a crazy feeling that I've never felt before. -Salvia I've done this once in the parking lot of a church during a christian band concert. It's not that bad, but stupid kids give it a bad name by doing stupid things. - Illegal drugs The only difference between legal drugs and illegal drugs is the fact that some of them will get you thrown in jail. They're both really bad for you and they both are to make money. - Sex What? We're human. Don't be jealous because you didn't get any. - Comatose Drinking Sometimes people just get too drunk, get over it.Deathxcore

Pass out game: I got better things to do with my time, things that make money, get me fit, let me taste life.

Salvia: Don't need it, don't need any drugs, I exercise, I live active. Exercise releases endorphines which provide me with a happy drug that don't cost me money

Illegal Drugs: See above. But don't need to impress anyone with doing drugs, I see enough of the real drug people from a past job I had cleaning the communal areas of the council housing flats. Those people, they are not pretty, they are not good company, and they won't stop calling you "mate".

Sex: I couldn't care less if a group of 12 year olds are having an orgy in the house next door, I really just don't care about all that. What does bother me is the view of life that some girls have, but this is more something that devlopes as they start to see reality of independence. What i'm talking about is the path of the social fund. Get pregnant, get a council house, fake independence.

Coma Drinking: Yeah some people grow out of that. I stopped drinking too heavy simply because I hated hang overs. But I can't say i've ever drunk myself to a coma, I seen an adult do it once during a celebration.

Wow, I must be different. I'm 17, and I haven't done any of those things. And it's how people are doing it. I don't really see the point.

All that stuff was going on when I was a teenager about 15 years ago. You probably just didn't get out much.

I'm 16 and I'm not interested in any of those things well except sex when I'm older. Some youth today are a bit vicious and wild but hey, Hitler youth was worse.

[QUOTE="PannicAtack"]The youth today isn't different from the youth of last generation, or the generation before. Ever see the movie "12 Angry Men?" One of the jurors wants to send the boy to the electric chair because he feels that kids are running wild. You'll find writings in ancient Sumerian times that talk about how the youth are degenerate, for crying out loud >_>SenorGuapo

[QUOTE="12Bullets"][QUOTE="SenorGuapo"] I know, but the actions the youth have now are more extreme than then right. I think the problems of teens then Like coming home late, having premarital sex, and whatever are a lot different of now, with teens joining gangs, and doing more extreme actions in order to "find" themselves or prove themselves. A fight at school used to be very alarming in those days. Now fights happen all the time and it has been evolved into stabbing and shooting. SenorGuapo

BTW, this passout game is the most idiotic thing I've ever heard. :lol: Even more idiotic than that party pills game. Those 2 that died by it are probably the top 2 candidates for the Darwin award.

Meh, them kids havin' fun.

Blaring their 8 track rock and roll,

their pokemans video's

and interwebs.

meh kids shouldnt be havin fun...................

im australian and our biggest problem is booze and a very weak legal system, but it is also a lack of respect for authority, in most non-western countries they are brought up to respect their elders, whereas in western countries they are brought up as equals and instead of punishing for misbehaviour the parents make compromises and also they willl not hear a bad word about their kid. i believe in physical punishment, not full on abuse with a baseball bat, but a smack or in my case my mum would use wooden spoons on me. but it is a serious problem when a 14 year old can stab someone and get off without so much as a criminal record.

another thing is which may sound racist and do not mean to offend anyone is immigrants from war-torn countries such as sudan, somalia and in the past vietnam and lebanon (australian examples), some of these people have been brought around violence and poverty and are then thrown into a first world environment, a shopping centre near me has it's own police station, this is unheard of near me but the area around it is a massive public housing estate where these refugees are settled. now i know that these people have had pretty crap lives but when they start walking around with machetes hidden in their cloths and bashing up police officers i think its time some were sent back, if they want to live as they did back home then we should oblige them.

Parents don't know how to be a parent or they work all the time and don't realize they are failing thier children.
