What is wrong with the youth of today.

Just really wonder whats wrong with kids today people are so much more judgemental now a days some kids at my work I never thought were bad. I was talking about how people can judge another person and we brought up the topic of homeless people and they just started to rip them apart. I just wonder what makes them think they have the right to judge these people like that. Seems only way people think someone is worth something is if they make a lot of money or do some important things. I guess I just can't understand this. I mean I make pretty good money but that is not the thing I am most proud of in my life. I am proud that I wake up every day and I am nice to every single person that comes into my pharmacy regardless if they are rich or poor.

It's better be hated for who you are, than loved for who you aren't.
Lack of disaplin from parents.
In the past there was a time where you were required to spend a year in the army. you had no choice on this but after 1 year you could leave if you wanted. Most people who served learnt disaplin and respect for others.
Disaplin and respect thats whats lacking in people like that i love america guy Orthosin
A lot of people just like to impart their opinions without accountability. I think our society is dominated by the feeling that each person has it the worst out of everyone. /shrug. Don't worry about it.

This ends up with the parents being cool and letting the kids run the house. Then the kids hit the teen years and the parents are still more like friends to their kids than parent and they buy them anything they want.
Then the kids get older and starting having kids while they are still living at the parents house. Grandma and granddad end up watching and raising the kid while the kids parents get to live their life like they never had the kid.
I don't like to be judging people but when you have 19-year-old ghetto baby momma at the mall in the food court with her 3 kids tearing everything apart its hard not to laugh. Oh course don't forget 30-year-old baby daddy picking up their order of food from McDonalds who thinks he is Tony Montana when he started listening to rap.
At least I know where some of my paycheck is going.
Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!
I disagree.
I'm 13, and if you saw me and the way I act, you would probably consider me judgemental. Wouldn't that alone make YOU judgemental? I have to agree with all you guys how much of assholes us kids can be today, but in my opinion it has more to do with public schools and things such as that.
I get picked on every day in school. Half the words I hear are "fag", or "gay", immature things that stereotypes this entire generation of today. However, I can admit that I do the same thing. My parents work hard, and they discipline me as well. I have a bedtime, computer limit, rules, chores, etc. I'm certainly not allowed to cuss, but I do it anyway. I don't quite know why. Maybe it's because I feel in my own mind that it doesn't really matter.
You people need to understand that though we are young, we have minds of our own. I would probably sometimes think completely the opposite of what I'm saying right now, I don't know why.
Anyway, just my opinion on this topic I guess.

The adults...
On the subject of homeless, that category needs to be seperated. There are those who choose to live on the street and bum off people as a way of life. Then there are those who, through circumstances, end up there.
opeth313x: How do you disagree? Many kids out there follow the mastake of their parents, not knowing what is right from wrong becuase nobody has been there to teach them that. Parenting is first and then I might say public schools. If a parent taught and punished a kid for saying bad things like fag and gay they would stop right at an age YOUNGER than 13. Good parenting makes good, polite and obident kids like you and me bro. Parenting starts first, not school. Note that we are focusing around the generation, not you buddy.

Hmm nice to see a very good responce from a young person. If I saw how you acted I might say your being judgmental but just because you have done it doesn't mean you have to be a judgmenatal person all the time. Also something to clarfiy I use the word youth but I really mean up to like 25 it seems sometimes 23 year olds are same as a 15 year old atleast to me.
For clarification, my post wasnt geared at respect as much as people bundling them all together into "the homeless". Some people are at home because they like living on the street and refuse to live in a "normal" dwelling. I am completely with you treating people with respect Mizab.
I was like that until I was 18. It's perfectly natural.
Until you actually hangout with homeless people you don't have much to relate to.
Pkysically adult, intellectually adept, but emotionally underdeveloped. The young man's curse.

I can understand like 16-18 but some of these people I am talking about are 23 and 24 sorry for my use of word youth just when your 41 a 22 year old is youth to you.
Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.
The army may be disciplined. But if you're placed higher up in the hierarchy, then you will look down on the people "below" you for the rest of your life.

That's a big assumption, one that I don't agree with at all. I know a bunch of people who were in the military, among them was my grandfather, who almost made admiral when he was in the Navy. He never had a bad attitude to those that he considered "below" him. He was always very respectfull...he has advanced Alzheimers now though =/. I think that you are just pulling that theory out of thin air though, it has never been my experience that formerly high ranking military people look down on others.

Yes.. It was a stereotypical theory. I only based it on around 3 people i have known (3 friends of my grandfather's), who were all high ranking officers during WWII and its aftermath. Attitudes of people have changed since that time, and social class differences are not the same anymore.

I don't think he is pulling it out of thin air, I have seen it to a small degree, but it was mostly from squad leaders. I think once you start getting higher than that, you start seeing the bigger picture and you can't be an ass all the time and expect people to follow your orders. All the high up people I have met and scene on the surface were some of the nicest people I have ever met. I think they above most people understand the value of a human life and always do/did their best to preserve it.

I wish you would have clarified this. I hope you don't think public schools are a bad idea just because their funding is extremely limited (and getting cut gradually in every country I know*). Private schools are usually run by people with an agenda, whether it be religious, political, or economic. Public schools have a responsibility to be unbiased, fair and follow similar education programmes to other public schools.
*It's just so easy for government big shots to take away from children and the elderly
On this message board, especially, there's a lot of anger towards kids. I've seen a lot of posts that can be summarized by "you're age x; therefore, your opinion is worthless".
