the way they dress, the way they talk, the things they do...so irritating. Feel like thrashing each one of them. What say 30+ guys and gals?

They are not that much different then we were at that age.
You probably drove your parents nuts (and they did the same to their parents).
[Kids - I don't know what's wrong with these kids today. Kids, they don't listen to anything you say. Why can't they be like we were - perfect in every way. What's the matter with kids today?]

Agree with deedee! Every generation has received the same responce. Wasn't' people saying the same thing about your generation when you were teenagers. How much different was your generation as teenagers. I would guess not very. Besides its not the generation its the age. Teenagers are always going to act that way the only difference is that every generation has different options, different technology it is pretty short sighted to think that your generation would not act the same way in this day and age!

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they allow disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children now are tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

Amen To That! But that's alright. Although this is cruel to write, most of them are dying from stupidity anyway! Being on myspace.com. Getting handcuffed to trees in the woods. Being found dead in the wood after being raped and beaten. They're hard headed! Think they know it all. So if they think that dressing trashy and getting drunk and meeting strangers are the way to go because they don't want to to take heed to their parents advice, the teens think they know all, then away with the devil they will go! Sorry but it's true! Feel like eating crow now or would like some later?

I say our parents, grandparents, and great grandparents all said the same darn thing about the their current crop of teenagers. In my teenaged years (the 1970's), disco, bell bottoms, and that decade's "stuff" irritated the hell out of the older generation, and baffled them completely. So just realize that that's the way life is, has always been, and likely will be for generations to come.

We have no right to complain as long as they don't behave as if the world belongs to them and we too should not behave as if ours (if at all there is any such thing as 30+ style) is the only proper way to be.
One suggestion - it is up to you to feel what you like but for your own sake do not try thrashing any teenagers while they are sitting. Who knows when they stand up they could be taller than you.

I'm not over 30, I'm only 23 but I agree. They are so rude and do not care if their actions effect others. I know if I were to act and dress like the teens today do my mom would have been pissed. Thats the problem the parents dont do anything.

My neighbor and I were just talking about kids this age. She brought snacks in for the teachers in the middle school, and she says it never fails that some young boy volunteers to help her carry all her trays. When I go to the middle school students hold the door for me. They're so cute as they try to establish their own identities, trying to be outlandish but being quite conformist in reality. You're obviously not a parent and you probably shouldn't have kids.

i say you must be an old old old lonely man with no life .. and you should invest in trying to recall when you were a teen and remember that it's the rebellious years. plus you should also realize times have changed and that things are different. go ffuck ya self.
- just another irratating teen.
