There is nothing that I find more pathetic than hating young people.

It's our responsibility to help the next generation have a damn future, not complain at them until they become loyal servents.

People act like the kids owe them something. No it's the other way around, we owe them.

We have an ass backwards society where kids are expected to raise themselves and serve adults. It's insane.

I can't count how many times I've been out somewhere and there is some parent screeching at their child like a bratty teenager. Like holy shit, how did we get to the point where parents are less mature than their kids? It's pathetic.

And then people complain that kids show no respect and youth crime is up. Yeah, no shit, who would respect a society of selfish brats? You act like a prick in front of your kids and now they're pricks too. No shit. Instead of setting an example and being decent human beings we act like screeching tyrants and expect them to grow up to respect us and society? What a joke.

    Everytime I hear someone complain about "kids these days" I pull this out from Socrates Guess it's been a problem for 2500 years. Or I dk maybe it's BS.

    "The children now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority, they show disrespect to their elders.... They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and are tyrants over their teachers."
