kids today?

Question

What has happened to the world?- kids are totally out of control. They don't go to school and if they do they assault their teachers. If they get expelled- they return and shoot their teachers or classmates. They are rude, aggressive, lazy and mostly stupid as hell(because they don"t go to school). Who thinks we should bring back some proper punishment for these little bast*rds! They should be seen and not heard!! The next kid who gives me grief is going to be introduced to a whole world of pain

Answer 1

Babies having babies - that is what has happened - and then they are spoiled beyond all belief. They aren't made to mind, respect their elders, have manners, work, or study. Their parents didn't like being told what to do, so they have tried to be their kid's friends instead of their parents. Corporal punishment should be reinstalled in school, but these same parents are also "sue" crazy and looking for an easy way to make a quick buck, so don't punish their kids or you will see them in court. Giving a child everything they want only makes them think that they deserve everything they want and nobody is showing them how to RESPECTFULLY get what they want. Its a vicious cycle - maybe our great great grandkids will be more like our parents and grandparents!

Answer 2

It is one thing to want more discipline in schools and at home and I totally agree with that, but the way you talk about the children is rude. Not all kids are that way. Kids should have some voice. The old adage you are referencing is very out dated and used in an abusive manor. I feel corporal punishment should be allowed within guidelines and but not in an abusive way. I agree with spanking. We want to teach a lesson not beat them. Just enough to get their attention and let them know they did wrong and there is a consequence for your action. This is not appropriate for every situation. Every situation should be dealt with with the appropriate punishment. Not all bad behavior requires a spanking. What ever form of punishment works best with that child.

I think that more parents need to take more responsibility in teaching there children how to be good people and not neglect their needs. Watch them, talk to them, make them your business and get involved. Communication is the number one way to help keep up with what your child in involved in. So I disagree with the adage they should be seen and not heard. That also included women.

You seem quit harsh in your thoughts of kids. Like you don't care much for them. You don't respect them. They are going to be what you give to them. If you give and teach is what they will become.

Answer 3

i don't agree with the seen and not heard part but i agree they have no respect and are out of control they should bring back corporal punishment that will make the lil beasts think twice about mouthing off and running around acting like animals i think parents are ultimately to blame some have kids go to work have no idea what their kids are doing whilst they are at work and when they are told their kids are running riot they defend them by saying my kid wouldnt do that

Answer 4

Gee! What kid called you an old git today then?

Why do you think that all kids are like this? the kids that are like this are the kids who have 'modern' parents. By modern, I dont mean young, but those that sit their kids in front of computer consoles, PC's, TV etc. These parents dont take the kids out for a walk, to feed the ducks, to play in the park etc......I guess if the ducks could be fed by lobbing food out of the car window then they would get out more.

I have to protest at your generalisation. Its wrong and does an injustice to the well behaved and pleasant kids.

Answer 5

It's too easy to blame young people for all the problems in the world. What about the middle-aged and elderly corrupt politicians and captains of industry who go around exploiting people, and have far more power to do harm?
The older I've got the more I feel for youngsters. They are often selfish and destructive, true, but a lot of that is a function of their immaturity. It was the same twenty years ago when I was a teenager, but we live in a blame culture which seeks to demonise behaviours which are merely aspects of human nature.

Answer 6

Look not to the children but to the parents. I for example have a 15 year old and if she is going to stay at a friends I want to talk to that parent and know it's ok. most of the time they seem annoyed to have to call or have some sort of attitude that I am following up on my kid. The point is that since if you even look at your kid wrong it's now considered child abuse. spare the rod spoil the child. I am not condoning beating them mercilisly just that a little pressure applied to the seat of understanding never hurt anyone.

My personal favorite is when you have a problem with these kids and you try to talk to thier parents they all seem to have the not my kid attitude.

Answer 7

By the time kids start school they have personalities. They spend the first years of their life in a coccon that is called family.
If by the time they start school they have no respect or values then it is only fair to blame the families they have grown up in!

Answer 8

You shouldn't generalize, just because some kids did that, doesn't mean that all kids do, that's called a stereotype, and should be avoided at all costs, as they never lead to something good ^^;

Answer 9

You can trace all of this back to parents who both work and compensate for lost time with their kids,with over indulging them. You can also thank all the Liberals who feel sorry for everyone and protect the criminals,not the victims.

Answer 10

I don't know that children soon be seen and not heard and I find your desire to return their disrespectful behavior with physical violence to be troubling. Perhaps you should seek some psychiatric care.
