Every generation has asked this about the one previous to it.
Name one generation that didn't complain about the one before.

You've gotten older and don't understand today's kids. Your parents went through this, their parents did, and their parents before.

The best answer is that there's nothing wrong with kids today that wasn't wrong with them 20, 40, 60 years ago.

I believe everything is wrong with kids these days. To my knowledge I think that they all want to grow up faster than what they should. Also my opinion is that us parents don't make enough time through the day to enjoy our children's company. Now a days both parents need to work to survive, and mostly the children do not have a regular schedule. Disciplining is difficult, because you feel like they won't listen to you. My advise is to sit down with one child at a time each day for half an hour, and then make a family hour together. Then you and your children will get to know each other better, and possibly become closer. Besides all this it will help the children know that you care. All they really want is love from you. I know that you love your children, but It is the way you need to show them. Don't buy them things, be there more for them whenever they need you. If you want to talk more, write!!!

Sincerely,
Mother of Two!!

parents are not allowed to discipline their kids anymore. If I would have done half of what the kids now days do, I would have been sorry. Time outs just don't cut it with some kids, and kids are not taught to respect their parents or anyone else for that matter.

Their parents do not discipline them and the parents will not allow the schools to discipline the kids either. So, the parents are what is wrong with kids today..

about the same as kids yesterday - really lousey, inadequate parenting and/or upbringing. kids are not 'wrong' IMO but they can very easily be trained/programmed 'wrong' by an influencial person(s) such as mom/dad/relative/friend. this all happens very early and by the time the kid is 'wrong', no one seems (or is willing to admit) to know what's wrong - including the 'wrong' kid. kids today would all be WONDERFUL if only they all had good, adequate parenting/upbringing/training. that's not just an opinion, it's a proven FACT even if most defensive adults reject it! kids are not 'wrong' - adults are WRONG and kids just receive the brainwashing/programming/training to be 'wrong' like their trainers.

Different world from ours we just do not try to understand theirs. Alot more violence, technology etc. There is no such thing as the good old days, each generation had it's own issues. Older people tend to look back on their younger years and only remember the good 20's prohibition, gangsters, stds rampant etc. 30's depression, drought, etc. Not to mention lack of civil, womens rights. Not to many black folk hanging in our trees these days but they sure swung in the sooo called good old days.

They are unfortunate enough to be born in a consumer based society, not a community based society. They see everyone around them being "successful" by making it big, making big money for themselves, implanting their boobs, driving expensive fast cars, etc. They don't have role models that count their successes by how much they contribute to their community. The world is so messed up on its morals, so why wouldn't it follow that the kids are messed up too?

i thought you'd never ask
1st - as parents they tell you have no right to discipline our kids
then society gets upset when they turn out crappy rude and
disrespectful
2nd-parents actually listen to society about not disciplining kids
when these dumb *** time outs and what not
3rd- parents are younger with teenage pregnancy you have immature people raising a family when they haven't got a clue
4th- they have too much i-pods computers video games...... not enough appreciation going on
they take everything for granted music and artist are raising our children we have no control

From Monday Night's Adult Swim

What's wrong with young people today?

*Who cares?

*They need at least three energy drinks before they can be bothered to do anything.

*They think the world is gay and none of it's their fault.

*They're all pretentious pricks.

*Microwaves.

*They need instant gratification.

*They prefer an easy day's reward to a hard day's work.

*None of them have done anything worth a damn.

*Being happy is expensive, because they're all consumer whores.
