Am I the only one who can't stand today's generation?

My philosophy is that a kick to the face will fix anyone.  And kids are easier since they are shorter.

I love how people blame the kids and not the parents
yes the kids is a part of it but it's the parents who's supposed to teach them their manners.
I myself am 19 by the way.

"My philosophy is that a kick to the face will fix anyone.  And kids are easier since they are shorter."

I think its just teenagers in general. They'll grow out of it, hopefully.

Also, the behaviour of the current generation is a direct result of the choices and behaviour of the preceeding generation.

"Fair enough, still personal attacks are unnecessary."

Yup, hence why I wasn't talking to you : )

"As probably the oldest person on this forum, no generation is worse than any other.  They are all simply products of their time.  A dickhead in 1964 is no more a dickhead than the dickhead of 1975, or the dickhead of 1986 or the dickhead of 1997 or the dickhead of 2009.

Noticing pesky kids just means you are getting old.  Hang on to you hemorrhoid ring, this ride is only going to get worse for you.

Never judge a generation by the bad examples you see.

"

"Yup, hence why I wasn't talking to you : )"

Ah, I see I phrased that poorly.
What i meant to say:
I know you didn't attack me, all your arguments have been well reasoned and  fair. I wasn't directing that "Personal Attack" comment at you.

Sorry for the mix up.

"Ah, I see I phrased that poorly.What i meant to say:I know you didn't attack me, all your arguments have been well reasoned and  fair. I wasn't directing that "Personal Attack" comment at you.Sorry for the mix up."

All teenagers and pre-teens are assholes.  Always have been always will be.

I've been well-behaved since I was 10.  Consequently, you end up having less fun.

I blame it on pop culture.But were part of the problem more or less.
There are stories of girls attacking other girls in groups becouse of Twillight.And Miley Cyrus complaining that nobody knows who she really is when every single detail of her is stalked and over comercialized.This generation is sorta lame but im part of it that isnt that horrible.

They're so rude and I see the way most of them treat their parents and I constantly think that my generation is the last generation of well behaved people. I mean I see 12 year old girls in skimpy clothes and spoiled 10 year olds with cell phones. God I hope things don't continue this way. So anyone else notice?"

Wow. You must have lead an amazing life. You know, going around and meeting an entire generations teens and preteens."

If the OP still thinks that he's right, or that he's stumbled on to some revelation that nobody else has ever thought of (or that his reasons for justifying it are original or correct) then he needs to step back and take a good, long look at himself in the mirror.

Doesn't this happen with every generation. We all have the same feelings toward preteens and teens. We were/are them.

"Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that came before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it."
-George Orwell

each generations are getting dumber and dumber by technology and the media. I see our kids today and think to myself how fucked up our society will be in the future. but whatever, i'll probably be on a small island somewhere drinking my martini when i retire. (won't be in the US thats for sure)

I don't see how I have anything to do with this.."

The entire basis of the topic is your perception of the generation of children growing up beneath yours, a perception that (as pointed out by many others) is rather flawed. So... that's what you have to do with it."

"Well obviously, from the outside looking in, you guys are only going to notice the absolute worst people?Why?  Because they are the only people interesting enough to warrant your attention.You are hardly going to notice a 10 year old being nice to his mother and helping her unloading groceries.However, you are totally going to notice a 10 year old cussing out his mother and throwing groceries from the cart into the street."

"Well, maybe you could just stop nitpicking my sentence and try to understand the point I was making.It's that you only see the stuff that pops out at you."

Teens before these...and the ones before them...and the ones before them...it's a repeating cycle.  Deal with it.

"Me too. Dudes swear and think it's cool. They text...I don't really get the point of texting. They don't type out words full because they think it takes less time. They just think they're adult and experienced, but only end up appearing less-so because of their ignorance. Teenagers suck."

Exactly, so therefor I say something about it."

No, if you were saying something about that specifically, you would have mentioned it specifically.You are dealing with a broad range of people here, you used the word "generation".I think it's implied that you are at least talking about the majority, which is just completely out of whack."

"That this entire generation is a bunch of spoiled brats."

I don't believe that the entire generation is like that but I'm sorry but most kids today are. I mean I see it all the time everywhere I go. That's what I'm basing this off of. "

So you're basing it on like 1% of 1% of 1%?"

Many people have said the same thing that most American kids are like this."

It's a generation of kids where their parents wanted them to focus more on their success in work than being genuinely good people.

You aren't alone in this, and I know exactly why this latest generation sucks. It's because of the lack of Mr Rogers that they are so spoiled, yes that's right, I'm crossing threads.

"

 Same shit's been going on forever, your just to the point of realizing it. Kids/teens suck. Always have, always will. That includes you when you were that age. "
