Youth bashing.
I'm sick and tired of turning on the news or reading articles on the web* and having to listen to those sophisticated, never put a foot wrong reporters blaming the decay of 'community spirited' on the kids and young adults of today. The last time i checked we didn't as collection of babies born from the 80's and after get stranded on a desert island and left to bring ourselves up.
Take violence and gang war fair. Everyone goes on about it if it has just happening in the last ten year, I'm sorry but where the 'Teddy bears', 'hells angels' and 'skinheads' made up to scared little kids at night? I think not, they were well know for their violence. The great thing is not a lot of them were, like todays youth but people don't want to hear about the good ones.
If you gave the youth of today a chance and a voice to speak out with and not put us down all the time and push us into a corner then you might get more respect, people seem to forget it works both ways. We aren't the ones who voted for Blair THREE times, and then bitch because he didn't do what he said he was going to do, oooo what a surprise that was after the 100th time.
I'm not saying we are all nice and have fallen from heaven, because we aren't, there are some cruel, mean idiots out there, who deserves nothing more then being hit with a frying pan a few hundred times.
If i have to listen to another person saying 'it wasn't like that in my day' or 'my grandparents day' I'm going to scream. I'm glad its not like your day, we don't have an idiot who wants to start a world war killing millions of people because he wants to take over it. We don't make slaves of people just because of the colour of their skin or what class they were born into, we don't stop people from achieving the best they can be because of their sex. We have grown along way from being barbarians living in up trees, and we are still growing.
I'm sorry for going off on one but there seems to be far to many people out there bullying the youth then guiding them people forget we were just born into the society that we are growing up in.
also sorry for rambling of topic alot too, i do do that alot.
* don't read newspapers, the sun and mirror seems to be too busy stalking celebrities, if i wanted to know which celebrity is considering picking up a beefburger for their one meal a day I'd read heat. And lets face it the independent is a great 'grown' up newspaper but who can afford that, and for that price i don't want my arms hurting for having to hold it up because of the size of it.

Very well said!
Ahh there you are FB. Re the Youth of today, the media seem to be tarring you all with the same brush. The minority is affecting the majority
