Back in the day you either got tough of failed.. nowadays failure is tolerated so theres alot more of it.

Answer 3

A question that has probably been asked since the existence of civilization itself.  Maybe the question shouldn't be what is wrong with youths these days, but IS there anything wrong with today's youths.  I thinks it's natural for the former generation to be critical on the younger generation.  Culture changes.  What's acceptable in social settings are constantly altering.  It's life.  And with technological revolution at the forefront it is happening fast!  Perhaps its not the youth behavior that needs to be analyzed, but how the youth are being raised that should be put under a microscope.  How is are children or teens being affected by the ever increasing divorce rates, or when mom and dad both are away at work.  I think Will Smith said it best, "Parents just don't understand."

Answer 4

Well, I wouldn't change a thing.  I like myself just fine.  I have good grades, good friends who don't do drugs and like the same things I do.  I spend a lot of time outdoors.  I am about 6 foot tall and weigh about 130 pounds.  I like to consider myself a 'good kid'.

Answer 5

i think people cise how bad we are...like seriously we aren't as bad as everyone thinks we are. i think in some ways we're better than the older generations but i will agree in some ways we're a lot worse. but we have amazing potential and we're still young so its normal for us to be kind of apathetic about certain stuff right now but when the time comes i'm sure most of us will come around and i don't think we're gonna end up as bad as everyone seems to think we will.  

Answer 6

Well the changes could be that U S youths should not be Obesity, they should follow up for the 21st century to come, by starting now itself,,education wise also, lifestyle should be better to live on in the 21st century then to wait for it to come?

Answer 7

Young people don't read, spend too much time in front of television and computers. Prioritize materialism over character. And have followed the poor examples of their sorry parents.

With the permanent down turn in the economy, children now will never have it as good as their parents did and neither will their children, so the system will force a change in behavior.

Answer 8

Too many innocent children are being brainwashed with religion.  It is the most vile & corrupt problem in the USA.
