We is it so hard for people to understand why Bitchy self important Generation ME-ers are raising bitchy self?

Question

important children?

Am i the only person who thinks the way children act today is a direct result of the last 50 years of social developement and not some big surprise?

Answer 1

ur right

Answer 2

Your right.  I also think the fact that you don't see young kids all hanging outside together is retarding their social developement.   For excample, it's really easy to be rude to each on a computer chat page.  Not so easy to a persons face.  It used to be if your parents did a **** *** job raising you, the other neighbour kids would give you a clue.

Answer 4

Petrifies me.

I waited tables for years while putting myself through school and was shocked at the number of children at the dinner table with game boys, DVD players and other things to keep them visually stimulated and occupied.  The lack of conversational skills, manners, and physical activity.  Children are spoiled.  Why does a 9 year old need a cell phone?  Shouldn't Mom know where she is?  We over indulge people.  CHildren are living at home longer, have less of a work ethic and college isn't as hard as it was twenty years ago (with the exception of engineering and specialized programs)  I am very scared about the way the world is going.  One of the biggest reasons I think twice about whether or not I want to have children.  

Answer 5

I totally agree with u

Answer 6

I understand completely. I am doing my part by rejecting generation me-ness and I am raising my daughter to be a respectful, respectable human being.

Answer 7

I have noticed this as well.  It seems our society is moving towards only recognizing the needs and desires of the individual.  Years ago the collective betterment of the community was also factored into the equation.  People are able to isolate quite easily now with the technology available.  It is much easier to be nasty to others through a phone, or computer than it is face to face.  Monitary entitlement seems to be the most important focus in many peoples lives and with that altruism decreases remarkedly.  On a happy note I have seen so many extremely giving and caring young people both female and male in my years at the university.  Maybe the cranky, nasty ones are just more visible and we don't always notice all the amazing kids out there.

Answer 8

You get what you pay for, so to speak. Many villages dropped the ball..

Apparently, people do not realize the beauty of children and what they can learn from them.  They are far more valuable than that white picket fence or the new car in the driveway.

For those who traded quality time with their gifts, for bigger and badder than the Joneses stuff. You really missed the boat on this one.. What could possibly more wonderful or more important than your children??

There's no comparison to the amazing child...

Take heart, there are many,many amazing children out there despite their villages and parents.

remember take care of your children today...

for they will be your caretaker's tomorrow....

Answer 9

Can you leave out the swares and ask an appropriate question? Thanks

Answer 10

I think the same way too but I guess that's how I know I'm getting old.

I'd say Tracey has a point though, even if I still do worry about it and the younger generation of kids drives me loco.
