Walkinshaw · 09-01-2007, 11:35 PM

I blame it on Osama......he seems to be the cause of everything else.

(but seriously, youth of today have some serious issues, just like they have done for milenia)

You're 14, you shouldn't be behind a steering wheel unless its attached to a playstation.

the_scotsman · 09-01-2007, 11:48 PM

who said she was driving??

Young people do a lot of stupid things apart from driving stupid...

red_october · 09-01-2007, 11:51 PM

1. Lack of respect of people and property.
2. Easy to get away, the law is always on their side.
3. Easy excuses - sad childhood, eg my dog died when I was young so I hate life...etc
4. Lack of discipline, and parents don't care
5. Lack of a goal, focus or direction in their life (I'm just another blob, my ancestors are chimps so I'll behave like one)

I'm not saying ALL parents don't care. There are responsible parents out there. In fact, I've heard parents say that their kids are a nuisance to them and cramp their lifestyle. Imagine what the kids think.

I think this is the right answer 100%, if kids were kept inline better by the parents and learnt some respect things would be a whole lot better!

xr8chick · 10-01-2007, 12:02 AM

Yeah but like the scotsman said, i didnt say i was driving.

There are some things that young people do, like vandilsing stuff, they vandilised his car, unless they smashed it with another car they were on foot then i suppose?

i may not be an angel but i sure as hell know when other people have gone to far, and i know myself when to stop.

banarcus · 10-01-2007, 12:03 AM

I deal with it everyday at work. Young punks running amok and not one can account for their actions. Sad times.

benoxr · 10-01-2007, 12:28 AM

I'm not so sure it's a minority of youth either. These incidents are all too common. What gets me is when they do stupid stuff to other people, and for no reason, they still believe they are the victims. Victims of what? Society?
Dont blame me because you were born...

xr8chick · 10-01-2007, 12:58 AM

These days parents don't know half the stuff their kids do. and that's almost always when/where they get into trouble

From my experience kids nowadays aren't disiplined (ooooh, big word for a 14 yr old huh?) and with things being so easy to get a hold of [eg: booze, drugs] it's a wonder why they get themselves into deep crud.

benoxr · 10-01-2007, 01:20 AM

Just as well my parents didnt know what I got up to, except for the times I couldnt hide it because of the uniformed men standing behind me!
One difference is that we never hurt other people in our quest for fun. That doesnt seem to be case now. If only they could stop following the American ways.

I agree with you there... I hate it when people use all these abbrieviations that half the time don't even make the words shorter. I am 13 by the way (14 in two weeks) and can't say I really see that many young people vandalising things etc, but maybe thats just who I hang around with.

Yeah, but it's only some of my friends who use it, but it's not constant. that's awesome!! i'm not the youngest! . . . . lol. well, some group of vandals had come in during the night and just spray painted over ALL the walls in the school. it was really a stupid thing to do. the people i hang around with aren't that bad, but we dont go around vandalising stuff and etc. but what kid is an angel? but some just know when it's time to quit.

The Police in most states have units that work on line to trap internet preditors. They generaly pose as young girls.

But you write to well to be a cop...

boom-tish!

Man you're getting locked up haha.

EDIT:
Just like to add, anyone else here who works in any sort of retail i'm sure has noticed that the ratio of people who screw-up and make the rest look bad to those that actually aren't bad has shifted quite a bit... 7/10 people are just dickheads.. I look forward to serving the sane ones.

i knew nothing of cars at your age and i certainly couldnt compare nowadays to the days of the older. are you really 14? do you turn 15 soon? what made you come to a forum about fords/cars when you wont be driving for 3 years time? i don' want to be rude or anything but you're awfully young to be on a forum.

edit: well you just answered one of my questions.

Age means nothing, when you have a personal interest.

She seems very mature, but as I said age means nothing. I know 20+ year olds that carry on like school children.

We should be thankful that we have another intelligent being, posting on here with us.;)

Yep like my brother. He is 18 in years only but has the brain of a 12 year old.

Tried to tell me yesterday that a VN engine is better than my EJ20 because it revs less on the highway.

And he starts yelling like a little girl when he knows he is wrong. Typical Holden bogan unlike you though champ ;)

As for the original post. Well I'd have to say too many bongs and too much VB to be doing that sort of stuff.

tim2x · 11-01-2007, 12:24 AM

Wow......after reading all these posts i've been thinking about how bad things are gonna be in a few years... because its not getting better at all, Maybe a curfew for younger kids might be a good idea? stop them getting out at nighttimes and doing bad things.

It's also nice to see a lot of young members here, they seem very mature!

Cheers all.

certain people in our society have said dicipline is no longer aloud so this equals disrespect and unfortunatly the old saying is true and that is spare the cane spoil the child
