why are kids so immature nowadays?

Answer 1

I do not know. I have been asking myself that same question ever since I was a child. What scares me is that there seems to be more idiots growing spreading everywhere. I just hope that when I am older, I am away from hordes of idiots and better off.



Hey everyone, I bet that eveybody getting defensive over this person's question is one of those "immature kids." I am seventeen and I am not becoming defensive; it is a reality that we must come to terms with...seriously. The future society (today's adolescent populace) is full of inane individuals who stay cohesive with one another because if they were independent, their satirical dispositions would be torn apart.

Answer 2

I think it is because their parents haven't quite grown up yet, and also because of the current "child abuse" laws.
Back when I was a kid, my mom or dad whipped us when we did wrong, and they cut a switch off a nearby bush, and whipped us hard.
Now-a-days, if that were to happen, some neighbor or other busy body would call the police, and the welfare department, and their kids would be taken away from them, and put into a foster home, where the "new" parents, are allowed to baby them. It was also acceptable back then, for a school teacher to whip a kid, if they didn't have their homework done, by the next morning.

Answer 3

For starters they are supposed to be a little bit. But the more society spoils them and tells them life is supposed to be easy, the worse it gets.

Not even 70 years ago, anyone above 8 years old was out in the field working from dawn until school, then come home from school and go back into the fields. Now they come home, play play station, talk on the phone and get on the computer and complain about how hard their lives are.

Answer 4

Kids are allowed to be immature, they are after all KIDS. If you mean rude or disrespectful probaly because their parents or the environment they grew up in, didn't install good manners or morals.

Answer 5

This is a complete myth and this generalisation cannot be seriously applied to an entire generation.

If anything, young people today are more responsible than the young people of yesteryear.

Considering that the younger generation lives in a society that must deal with issues such as global warming, instant global communications and the present state of international affairs, I would suggest to you that they are handling it in an admirably mature fashion.

Answer 6

Because their parents let them. Parents don't take care of their children like in the 19th century and early 20th century. Today it seems more and more parents (and many families have just one parent in the house raising the children) want the schools and daycares and strangers to raise their children. We aren't teaching them morals and raising them in stable 2 parented homes. That's the problem.

Answer 7

It is in the nature of kids to be immature. Kids are not expected to behave as if they were adults.

Answer 8

why are some adults so immature that they feel the need to genralize all kids as being immature.

Sometimes older people misunderstand our friendliness as rudeness! We don't understand some of your old fogey custyoms because we aint in the 18th century no more. but we certainly have our own customs. and u shud learn to respect ours too.

also if your thinking of the emo, preppy or gangster teens, not all teens are like that!

Answer 9

Parents are becoming to lenient in punishment. My mom was too. I'm just glad I had enough common sense about me to staighten up.

Answer 10

Disrespectful, is a better word, but I wouldn't say all kids. Just those, who aren't taught well.
