What makes kids so bad these days??
Jarret's post about the kid with the eggs (by the way I loved it) anyways got me thinking. What makes these kids so bad these days. I remember when I was young I would never tell off someone that is older or show anysort of disrespect. Because if my father ever got wind of it he would kick my ass and I was also afraid of the person that I am telling off kicking my ass.
What has happened to our youth. These kids are mouthy, and have cocky attitudes, it just drives me nuts.
Now I am not a parent myself so I can only speculate, but do you think that it has to do with the parenting. Meaning either they don't care about their kids or that these children usually come from broken homes or if not both parents are working full-time and don't spend as much time with their kids like they used too. Do you think it has to do with their environment?
I myself had both parents working full-time thoughout my entire childhood and I dont remember having an attitude and pulling the shit that these kids do today. Now don't get me wrong I wasn't by far a little angel..I got in fights, stired up my troubles too but nothing like the kids of today.
What is your take on this? I would like to hear from all of you. Weither you have children or not married, single or divorced...I just wanted to see what other peoples thoughts are on this. Because if things keep going the way they are this may get way out of hand.

You summed it up their bro, parents let their kids do whatever they want. There is no discipline in kids anymore, if their parents don't tell them what to do then who is? Out of all my friends the ones that have a strong relationship between their parents and their parents disciplined them as they grew up, they turned out the best and are headed down the right track. Personally I don't think drugs are the problem or anything else like that is. I know a ton of people who get drunk on the weekends and smoke weed ocassionally and do the "recreational" drugs that everyone blames these bad kids for. And of those kids, the ones that have discipline coming from their parents have turned out as well as any parent would want their child. A few have full academic scholarships to big universitys and the others are in college.
In my opinon, parents are the #1 reason for children being out of control these days. Take a look around your neighborhood one day and find the children who are causing all the trouble, and then see where they come from. If you have the chance even talk to their parents, you'll find out the only diffrence between the parents and their children is the age, the attitudes are the same.
My 2 cents ya'll
