I don't know what's the problem actually. The 80s was a big trasition time for everything though, in forms of discipline, life style, Music, shall I go on. Maybe it's because the times are changing. This could be good in a fashion so we won't have an I Robot incident.
One things a fact, every generations appears to get worse and worse, even after they supposedly mature.

I'm very worried. I'm 18 years old myself and I wouldn't consider myself a "model person" but I try to do good things and be productive not at somebody elses expense. Many young people I see today seem to just "not care" about anything, like at all. Possibly because people say we are entering the last days of the world this could be why but myself I don't understand it. Youth seem to be just empty and needlessly aggressive. I suppose though that has been said since Plato's time.

Young people aren't respected. Landlords won't rent to young people, young people can't get jobs even if they are more than qualified for it, and people are very quick to blame the state of the nation on youth. The reality being that it is the older generation is responsible for this deterioration in young people. There are no challenges and no opportunities available, and the political line is growing wider and wider, leaving many youth disoriented and pulled in many directions at the same time as to what their path is in life. The problem is that they can't even get started because their is so much scrutiny towards their ability to work that they are disdained and outcast, left to work menial jobs at fast-food restaurants where they are yelled at by what they may see as an older, more failed version of their self. So they give up. Youth are lazy, because they aren't challenged and aren't given any chances to pursue their dreams.

I grew up in the 70s and everyone thought we were the lost generation coming off Vietnam and Watergate and entering the Reagan era.

i am so positively sure that all the generations before us thought the same thing about the "new young" generation coming up.

think of it this way: if nobody cares there will be nothing to fight doggedly over.
