What don't you like about todays generation of youth? Specifically, teens (may be your peers).
I was just thinking about it, and figured I'd make a thread and hopefully invoke some interesting conversation.
There are quite a few things that annoy me. I don't know if it was my good upbringing, or the exact opposite that makes me despise some things teens do these days, but here is a list, lol.
Drinking & Acting like a fool. Now, I'm not against a drink here or there, whether you are underage, but that doesn't mean you have to go sleep with some random person, land yourself in jail, or take your top off. Its disgusting and shameful the way some teens get when they are drunk. I don't think you should be getting drunk at all.
Sex & Getting Pregnant. Obviously guys can't get pregnant, but sex. I am a firm believer in no sex before marriage, and I think that is the best way to go. I have no sympathy for a girl who gets pregnant when they are young and stupid, nor do I have any sympathy when a child gets an std. Of course there would be exceptions, such as rape, however I'd say most of it is careless and reckless acts on the child's behalf.
Poor language skills. Now, I use a fair amount of slang myself, such as "Whats up" or "Yo" WHEN IT IS APPROPRIATE. That is the big thing. I have many friends who greet their teachers like that! I think it's ridiculous! Do peoples parents not teach them the proper way to talk these days? Jeesh, I'm surprised teens are still passing the literacy test.
Racy clothing. What ever happened to a simple jeans & t-shirt? Kids these days are either wearing black eye makeup and fishnet stockings, sagging pants with half their arse hanging out, or a skirt that shows everything when they bend down. Sure, it may be fashionable, but half the time the person just looks ridiculous.
Well there are more, I just don't feel like typing anything else, lol.
