yup. 21 here, and we're the last generation to "go out" and play.

eh, but they're freshmen and sophomores. back when we were freshmen we used to do fucked up stuff, and as a sophomore we were just plain retarded. as you grow older you look at the little ones and be like yeah, those punkasses, even though you never realize hey, that was your punk ass like 3 years ago. :lol:

This is going on in my neck of the world too.

Fortunately, they're also getting shorter.

Last year I got fucked over by a series of stupid events so that I ended up sharing a locker bay with a pack of snarling waist-high 14 year old junkies. They may have had stupidly inflated egoes and numbers on me, but I was about a foot taller than the tallest of them and weighed as much as any three of them put together. So while they tried their best to disrespect me and not move out of my way and walk into me all the live long day, I could scare the stupid out of them just by looking at them. :evil:

One time I was crouched down in front of my locker organizing my books while a bunch of them fucked around, hitting each other and swearing and shit, when one of them nearly tackled me and starting cursing like hell. I stood up and glared down at him. He bolted. Hehehehehe.

So yeah. I don't like the chilluns.

Haha, the whole time I was reading that I thought it was a bunch of girls.

There's three types of young kids at my school:

1. The bitchy, swearing, druggy kids, as described in above posts.

2. The slutty girls who are WAY too young to wear what they wear. The girls in my grade don't even wear stuff that slutty. And they should. :lol:

3. The rare good ones.

And all three of the above categories are freakishly short.

btw.. im 23 .. :lol:

and as for what you said about the media rob.. i couldnt agree with you more..
the media helps make EVERYTHING worst :lol:

oh and computers arent helping either.
i tell my bro about "when i was a kid i had to look up crap in a REAL encyclopedia" and he laughs .. its not THAT big a deal but back when i was in elementary i actually LEARNED because i couldnt just fire up encarta or IE and copy/paste my way to assignments/projects etc etc..

in honestly think that the use of and advent of cheaper and faster computers and the net is helping kids become what they are today.. they dont "earn" the grades they get etc.. everything is easier for them.. being an older brother gives me the chance to truly say that.. i mean.. if any of you have older siblings my age or older.. ask them about it.. see what they say.

Axtech · Post by **Axtech** » 10/13/2003, 6:23 pm

I disagree with the computer stuff. If kids abuse it, then it's a problem. If they use it properly, it's really good, because there's more info on the net than in their parent's dusty old encyclopedia set that for some reason has "1962" on them.

Besides, the ones that plagiarize aren't going anywhere anyways. They'll either get caught (all a teacher has to do is type a line from a questionable paragraph into a search engine to find out) or they'll get into the real world of high school and find out what real work is, or get through high school plagiarizing to get nowhere in life anyways.

Henrietta · Post by **Henrietta** » 10/13/2003, 6:35 pm

I disagree too. I bust my butt w/ research and it's not like you say "go computer" and a paper comes out. It actually does take some talent to come up w/ an essay or a ten page paper.

Odio La Cabra · Post by **Odio La Cabra** » 10/13/2003, 7:18 pm

....everyone at the school goes to the library after school and fights over old encyclopedias so they can do their essay....and 11 and 12 year olds are bossing 8th graders around

creepy huh?

ihatethunderbay · Post by **ihatethunderbay** » 10/13/2003, 7:18 pm

Yeah, I'm only 14, but trust me, I'm not one of the stupid jerks as mentioned above.

95% of grade 9's in my school are total fucking jerks. I hate them all. They all need a good ass kicking, and maybe that'll set 'em straight. Fuck, if they get the shit beat out of them in a dark alley I doubt they'll be so bigmouthed anymore.

Bah. I wish I was 8 again, and all I had to worry about was if my room was clean.

yeah, i know freshmen and sophmores are supposed to be dumb anyway, but every year at least the kids have common decency and 'respect for their elders' (a.k.a. teachers) at least in my school. anyway, i've never even heard of a kid being asked by a teacher to stop doing something, then start swearing at her telling her she's stupid, and then the assistant principal when he comes by.

wow that's scary

as much as i agree with everything everyone has said about it seeming like the younger the kids are, the worse their generation is getting, but i can't help but think that maybe it's because the older ones are more mature and couldn't really see it when they were that age?

trentm32 · Post by **trentm32** » 10/14/2003, 2:09 pm

that's a good point, and I'm sure it accounts for some of it; but I still don't think we were all that bad back then.

happening fish · Post by **happening fish** » 10/14/2003, 8:17 pm

There is no way my classmates were into the kind of shit that I see these kids doing when I was in grade school. It makes me so very very sad for these kids. In all seriousness, from the observations I've made in my short life, I completely blame the parents. I watch these people who don't know how to be parents to their children... they are gone all day making money to pay for the new SUV that they bought with non-existant funds... or they launch themselves into unstable marriages, have a couple kids, then go through an awful messy divorce... in any case they try to make it up to the kids by throwing money at them. Lots of money + little supervision or attention = spoiled, neglected children. It's getting downright awful :neutral:

i think i worded that wrong.. but there is a reason for my rambling :lol:

before i got to university.. i used the net and other forms of computer based sources for research.. since i got into uni however ive realized that THAT isnt enough anymore.. research based solely on that isnt going to cut it.. and like you mentioned in your LJ about the library.. it maybe a small thing since you are intelligent to begin with.. but there are others who arent blessed with intelligence who also try to do everything on a computer but when it comes down to it.. they dont learn all they should and need to out of the assignments
the point to doing an assignment isnt to make you suffer.. its to learn and my point simply is ive learned more from the assignments ive done where i had my nose buried in an encyclopedia or than one ive mostly done research online for.. the "art" of using a "real book" is being lost on today's youth due to computers and that isnt good

Damnit, not to sound oldschool or anything but its the lack of spanking!!!

Kids have no respect because they have no respect at home. People make up shit about how dicipline is wrong and now look whats happened?!

Honestly, people today think everything is handed to them and that they anything they do they can get away with. Whats worse is they are right. No one gets the concept of superiority anymore. I just can't wait for these morons to end up in university so we can laugh at them and take their jobs once they have been fired several times.

I was never hit, or anything like that and um, i turned out just fine. I didn't even grow up with a dad to intimidate me, so it has to be something else as well.
