Kids of today are evil monsters....

I dont necessarily think there is a greater incidence of bad behavior. I do think that the misbehavior is more violent and severe than they were in the past. Its not just the parents, there is only so much you can control. Cable, the internet, video games, movies, music lyrics, the news-kids are bombarded with images of violence in the information era.

somewhat true. kids have been capable and more then willing to do bad things for the last few generations and more. i think it's just in these times were news is so prevalent and instant with things like the internet we just hear about it more. also with every kid over the age of six having a phone with video and text and stuff if makes it easier to bully others and as soon as there is a fight the kids pull out their phones and film it so it is on the evening news and internet instantly.

there was always fights and stuff when i was growing up in school, its just it stayed in the school yard cause we didn't have the technology to film it and post it on the net within seconds of it happening. and if we wanted to bully or pick on someone he had to do it to their face and not hide behind a phone or computer screen and be all tough. and when you pick on someone to their face it's easier to see that pain you may cause and also you can suffer the consequence instantly if you picked on the wrong kid, by normally getting punched in the face, but it didn't end up on the net or nightly news.

but to blame things like video games and internet and movies is somewhat of a joke, these are only fairly recent things, like the last 15 or so years, and there has always been bad kids/adults willing to hurt others and do bad things, so what did they blame 20 or more years ago when a kid was bad???

parenting. you just gotta teach your kids right from wrong and hope that they are influenced by good people/friends in the school yard or wherever they may be when you aren't there.

but this kinda reminds me of this story i saw on the news the other night about a 14 year old girl who had sex with 3 boys, yes i repeat, a 14 year old girl who had sex with 3 boys and they filmed it and subsequently posted it on facebook, and the mother was ranting and raving about the evils of facebook. and wanted minors to be banned from it, which if you read the terms of facebook you must be 18 to join anyway, so these kids are using fake birth dates when they sign up. and now she stands over her daughter should every time she is on facebook.

so it's facebooks fault your daughter had sex with 3 boys? maybe you should have been standing over your daughters shoulder when she decided it's fine to have sex with 3 boys.

but yeah, not trying to say that any of these things are disgusting and wrong, but i think it's always been happening but these days it's easier for kids to do, and easier for the general public to hear about.

I wouldn't say people beating up people for no good reason or killing wildlife is anything new.


Humans have always had crazy ones. You can't blame any of this on modern society. Modern media just reports more of this and there are more of us to make more of these acts.

My thoughts exactly.

The kids are fine. It's their parents who are absolutely pathetic.
