What is opinion on today's youth?

Question

What is *your opinion on today's youth, sorry. :-)

Answer 1

Well watching the transition between elementary school/junior high to high school is crazy. Every year the girls get sluttier and more bitchy. They waltz into high school thinking they are above all. They try to hook up with older kids and have a big mouth. They think it's "cool" to skip and do drugs. Especially the guys. They waltz in too and act tough. Pisses me off. But you always have those nice kids which aren't like that. Makes my day ;) both watching the stupid kids and watching the nice ones.

Answer 2

well it is typical to have outraged old folks reflecting on the plight of the youth culture of today... I don't get them - the youth that is, I do have to say that with all the technology advancement in recent years, there has been a greater shift to individualism, materialism and thinking that 'when the time comes' they will be like the stars they emulate, not realizing that to be like those stars, a lot of work, dedication and self control has to be put into... so as they miss their chances in school, we will have a huge brain drain/deficit when all the baby boomers retire as we will have a lot of uneducated individuals... open up the flood gates for insourcing of talent or outsourcing of our job to talented workers elsewhere..

Answer 3

Parents in the early 90's were the children of hippie's, who didn't know enough about, or really believe in, discipline.  The 90's parent's, therefore, knew very little about discipline when raising their kids.  The result is kids, maybe 13-18 years old, were raised with little authority in their households.  They don't know how to behave in a civil manner in public, they are selfish and inconsiderate, and worst of all, they don't see anything wrong with how they act.

Answer 4

Incredible amount of apathy, prejudice, conformity, materialism and greed. Lazy parents are quick to buy pills instead of raising their children. And poor children join gangs and will be stuck in a never ending cycle of poverty.

Unfortunately, American society promotes such behavior. Thanks to our lack of willingness to promote education and free thinking, we've produced generations of drones programmed to buy things. This is the product of American society which often gets hung up on silly things like religion, race and fire arms.

Past generations robbed the current generation of a future, and continue to live off our backs to finance their wars.

And eventually, when future youth become so destitute and poor, they will live like animals and society will crumble.  

Pretty grim picture it seems, but this is what happens when people don't give a d**n about anything except for their precious MTV.

Answer 5

That parents aren't there enough for their children.  They don't get the attention they need from home so they are out to get any kind of attention they can get.  Negative or positive.
