How many of you feel that todays generation is worse?

Question

I hear this statement many times and considering i'm 18 I believe i'm apart of that generation they speak about. Keep in mind that the average period is about 30 years between the birth of on one and that of the next. You may be apart of that generation they speak about too.

Answer 1

todays generation is definately worse if you're talking about crime today,when i was a teenager in the 60's knife and gun crime was never heard of like it is today and the law is too laxed and the kids lack discipline and pc is getting ridiculous.

i'm not saying all kids are the same but generally in this way,yes it's worse

Answer 2

Older generations have said this since the dawn of time.  I wouldn't worry about it.

Answer 3

I am a part of that generation, and of course it's getting worse...

Don't worry, we'll all be dead in four years when Dooms Day comes =)

Answer 4

We seem to be getting worse in terms of RESPECT AND MORALS  yet we seem to be getting better in SOCIAL ISSUES, RACE ISSUES, WOMENS RIGHTS, I mean less than 150 years  ago there were still slavery going on in this country, women were expected to be treated like property than human beings, and racism was eveywhere.

We as a civlization have improved on how we treat each other..... yet in many ways we have gotten much worse.

Answer 5

I am 21 and yes.  The idea of being a virgin bride is even looked down upon.  Boys feel intitled to s*x after date number 3.  Girls do not want children because they are afraid of streatch marks and weight gain.  Men are much less likely to go to college than girls.  The morality has gone down the drain.

Answer 6

I do!!!! It sucks a lot, we just keep getting more immature  generation by generation. And I definitively blame new parenting styles so open. New generations need more discipline!!!

Answer 7

many have no respect for older people

Answer 8

My childhood was in the 1960's and my teens/early 20's was in the 1970's.  I can't speak as an expert on all time & eternity, but my generation was definitely worse than my parents, and this current generation of young people is worse than mine.  Of course I am speaking of morals and behavior.

The generation I grew up in was rabidly rebellious, and since the old saying about reaping what you sow happens to be true, we've raised a generation of disrespectful, dysfunctional people.  Of course, there will be those who take serious offense to what I just said, but if you will be honest and take a long, hard look not only at statistics, but all around you, you will see the truth.

Answer 9

yes, we are much much worse, but I blame the Baby Boomers for it.

Darn baby boomers.
