| 241159 | 2004-06-03 03:08:00 | "Society has always been a mess, Teenagers have always been a problem, the criminal society has always existed, hell they run the show half the time. The problem with this country is that we have no barbarians at the gate, we have it so sweet its unbelievable." Exactly, it makes no sense to believe that things were better in the past, except for a few isolated parts and stratas within particular societies which only lasted for a short itme as evidenced by the longing for the "Good old days" things have never been better for the average Joe. There has always been badly behaved children and adults, it depends on many factors, there are lots of smart and intelligent young people out there who are clever enough to play any act that the situation demands, just as I did, including swearing, dressing ridiculously just to p...s off the adults who need to be woken up periodically from their complacency anyway.

| 241160 | 2004-06-03 04:57:00 | Agreed Rob. Except "those who choose to ignore history are doomed to repeat it" - George Santayana There never were good old days. But there are good things we can learn from past times. It all comes down to respect - for ones-self, and for others.For example, if the flamers on this forum simply said what they didn't like, instead of making nasty personal comments, there wouldn't be any locked threads. Courtesy. Sheesh, it aint hard. |

| 241164 | 2004-06-03 11:19:00 | I think that theres starting to be a idea formed that many teenagers around are immature and obnoxious etc etc, i couldn't agree more, but some of us (me included) still work our asses off . I mean, sure i'm immature most of the time, but i'm usually under such extreme pressure to do well in school etc that its a vent . . . i mean, who didn't have fun as a child! So why not try be one agin . theres my 2 . 0cents - David |

I just wanted to let you all know that teens aren't as bad as they may seem at times. They are constantly under peer-pressure etc. from everywhere. As David said, we are making the most out of it while we can ;-) |

| 241167 | 2004-06-03 11:48:00 | Off course teens are as bad as they seem, but they grow out of it. Teenagers are still closer to being children then they are to being adults. I wouldn't call them losers, but they are still finding their feet. And wait to you move on from peer-pressure to financial pressure, responsibility pressure, employment-pressure and all the other types of pressure that go along with being the bread winner for a family… suddenly the brand name on your shoes doesn’t matter anymore… |

We seem to have moved from the specific to the general. The thread started off mentioning a bunch in a school whose every second word was swearing. Sounded a bit like a school where a bit of strictness in behaviour was needed. Rough on the teachers when the school style slips. Bad kids ? Probably no. But not off to the best of starts. |
