Is it normal that kids today are really rude and bratty? My friend and I recently went to the movies where we encountered the two brattiest preteen girls ever. They were very disrespectful to us when we had done nothing at all. I wanted to give them a good smack across the face but seeing as I'm of legal age that probably would've resulted in some jail time. I'm not sure if it was just them or if it is their entire generation. It really made me question whether I want kids or not.
Are You Normal?
Ask your question today!
In other words, kids don't have to spend their time toiling away on a farm anymore, or taking care of the household with Mom while Dad is away at work, raising the 5-6 kids, or going to work themselves to help Dad pay the bills because his hours got cut at the factory or he became injured.
As parents felt less and less comfortable with laying responsibilities on their children (possibly due to their lack of contentment with the responsibilities laid on them during their childhood) the child's role in the house was reduced to that of your common lake-variety leech.
The fact is that in the purpose of preserving happiness which is considered to be the cornerstone of childhood, we have reduced children to meaningless leeches. The children that you have dealt with probably have no responsibilities in their homes, and thus, no purpose for living, so why the hell should they care? The same Mother that gave birth to them, plunged them into a limbo in which the only goal they could have in their lives until they finish high school and the real world punches them in the face, is to seek pleasure.
If anything, I feel bad for the affected members of our generation. To live your life for the only purpose of pleasure, sheer pleasure alone, may seem awesome, but it takes a pretty highly developed mind to live such a life without falling into that limbo.
Unfortunately with child labor laws and all that feminist shit I think society's pretty much down the crapper.
I'm young but I would have much rather been born in the 1840s, at least what I've read and seen from Tom Sawyer and some various articles about those times it just seems like we would have been...more responsible.
Now I'm fucked and I can't undo the damage. I swear to the God I don't believe in I'm going to bring my kids up roughly. FUQ DA PO-PO
I just think that we, as a society, need to remember where our true priorities should lie and learn that no lifestyle is without some sort of consequence and that we must ask ourselves whether we'd be able to cope with said consequences, especially when it comes to bringing innocent children into.the equation.
To some degree I must agree though. One aspect of feminism that I believe has done more harm than good is choice of mate being based solely upon love or lust when niether quality alone will feed the children that she wishes to have and the mentality that "I don't need a man". A woman may not need a man but having two parents in the household would greatly benefit the child.
Overall, though, across all genders and races in the developed world, there is a degree of selfishness we must get over if we wish to have a more successful society. It's becoming glaringly obvious that our personal desires may not be good for everyone else.

I've came across a few Twitter accounts lately...not sure if they're serious or trolling, but this little girl is 11 and says things like "my mom hid my Bieber albums so I hid her diabetes meds" and "if I had to choose between curing my aunt's cancer and meeting Bieber, I'd meet Bieber." That's just plain disrespectful, right? And this other chik is 14 and she's so dumb that she thinks Singapore is in Europe, she's racist and homophobic and she literally worships Bieber like he's God. If any of y'all use Twitter, look up plasticbieber and Manda Swaggie. smh...
Some people have no sense of humour :)
A survey found kids today smoke less, fight less and are more tolerant of others. I'd have to agree, kids these days would have been beat up so badly in high school a decade ago for being such wimps.
I watched that new 21 jumpstreet film, it's quite funny how they show the difference between high schools now and the ones ten years ago.
But yeah, sometimes I want to smack them too. Especially when I may be at the mall and they purposely bump into you and get in your face like it was your fault. Then leave laughing. Idiots.
Our behaviors are a product of our environment as well, but I don't really think kids where ultimately more respectful back then.
They would scream at anyone who answered a correct answer in class. I got cussed at for saying, please, thank you, bless you. I had to watch kids be defiant to even the good teachers and just say" Fuck you teach you can kiss my ass I do not want to add a math problem".
I mean honestly I would have smacked these kids if given the option. That was my high school and this was horrible. Kids are so rude at least say bless you! I mean those are the most basic and you should do at least that. I would vote for corporal punishment I am not a kid anymore but I think some of those kids needed to get smacked for there rude behavior.
Infact if someone made a petition I would sign it and rally for it as I think we need to bring it back. I mean we are too the piont kids are beating kids on camra for you tube. Are you kidding me!
It makes me want to open up an orphanage, so I can take all the perfectly fine seedlings and grow them into respectable, educated individuals, that will succeed in anything they put their minds to. My perfect world. :}
I think the male energy isn't being dealt with in a great manner at a young age. Males, especially child males have far more energy, yet are put in the same areas girls are and are expected to act quiet, etc. I can definetly see a link to their energy levels being a cause of them being bratty, which is why we should start focusing on using their energy levels in a way that helps them progress instead of just having it as a uselss part of their lives.
