Misunderstood Youth and Parents
Unfortunately I am at that age (40 plus) and had to endure the nightmare of going to school and doing what I was told whether I liked it or not; of respecting my elders. That was the way it was when I grew up.

I wonder what sort of person I could have been if I was able to have the kind of parental support young people have today. Are the misunderstood youth of today a direct result of misunderstood parents?

| 19-9-2007 | How can you tar every young child with the same brush? No wonder some kids behave bad, respect should be a two way street, from youth to adults but also adults to youth. I am now 19 but the lack of respect shown to me when I was at school was disgraceful.

| 30-7-2007 | From someone who's been assaulted by a yobbish thug, my default response is to brand all such kids as thugs.
They're not. The trouble is, the decent ones we don't see. We don't see Alex and James (sorry!) screaming in the streets, playing loud music or stealing cars, vandalising ...more | Nick |
| 24-5-2007 | What is being missed is that as the chap above mentioned NOT ALL TEENAGERS are bad!
Those that are these miserable thugs are those we notice. Those are the ones with terrible parents who've never worked a day in their lives, and thus passed those frustrations on to the next generation.

| 05-5-2007 | One of the most annoying things that I find about 'older people' (in practice, mainly middle-aged) is their willingness to tarnish an entire generation with the same brush based purely on the high-profile stabbings, crime and such like of a few. I am 16 and would, personally, hate to have to...more | A.N. Teenager |
