The problem with today's teenage generation:
First of all, let me just say that it's very scary how quickly our teenage generation is falling apart in this society. Now a days, you don't hear many thing's about our teenage generation, except that technology has changed us. Sure, that may be true throughout this generation, but most people refuse to pinpoint the bigger issues that this generation has. With that being said, I'll keep it real & upfront about why this generation lacks morals & values, with every piece of information I know of, & have seen, heard, & witnessed in person & on the internet, throughout my teenage experience.
Today, we have young teenagers who walk around shouting abuse at each other in front of little kids, or others who are around them in public. We have young teenagers who are together just for the sake of one's physical appearance, or how they look. Not because they have actually fallen in love with each other, but because they only want the sex. There's no more heart felt letters that would take a week to receive. Now a days, young teenagers walk around with no respect for themselves or anyone else & see nothing wrong with it. We have young boys & girls walking around blaring chavy music & trying to impress their "friends" with nothing. The popularity of the word, "respect" now a days? Well there isn't much left. We have young teenagers now a days who will use "f**k" & "s**t" & "b***h" & the "N" word in a casual way & in a casual day, like it's nothing to them. On top of that, we have uneducated young teenagers who constantly use curse words like any other casual word in the English vocabulary while shouting these words out in public & to little kids who are around them, exposing the future generations to this kind of language. We have young teenagers who say "swear" words to their self & in the public, by offending others or wanting to start drama for attention, which set's a bad example for the future generations. We have young teenagers who type not only curse words, but swear words ALL throughout the internet for others to see & also to their OWN parent's or even teachers (the one's who are suppose to help raise & educate them.) We have young teenagers who Cyber bully other kids through social media or through text with "hate words," & "messages" to want to harass & spread lies & rumors that could hurt or depress others to the point where they commit suicide over harassment. We have young teenagers now a days who put the "stereotype" label on others & judge others as groups or individuals. We have young teenagers who are shallow minded individuals & will stereotype & repetitively harass other human beings because of others looks, race, beliefs, religion, hair, or if their bisexual, transsexual, emo, Gothic, gay, or if their handicapped, disabled, or look deformed & much more. Today, it's easier for young boys & girls to grab a gun off the streets & shoot each other to death. Teenage violence turns into killings & occurs everyday in this world & no action is being taken about 90% of the time. Today, when you look at a person, what do you see? A person? Or a heart worth fighting for? I know what I see, a heart worth taking hold of. A beautiful creation. A meaningful life, lost, at a young age, because of something stupid that could of been easily avoided. The world in general is wasting money on criminals when they are in jail. We feed them, they drink water, they sleep, we give to the teenagers who kill others, we comfort them, they still live, while innocent young boys or girls, or older Men or Woman, may be end up dead or gone in a heartbeat, when in reality, most criminals should be executed or hung or receive the death penalty, & the innocent should receive justice right away based on the situation. But aside from that issue itself, we have young teenagers using physical violence to solve many issues that could be properly controlled in a mature manner, rather then fiss fighting back & fourth or knocking each others teeth out in public, or hair pulling, or slapping each other, or choking each other to death & etc, over the silliest things that could be resolved within the next day. We have young teenagers now a days drinking, smoking, & burning like there's no tomorrow, not caring about their own health or health risks that they WILL encounter later on in life. We have young teenagers getting high & drunk on a daily basic's, especially when being able to drive a car, putting others life's at risk or possibly killing others, as well as their own. We have young teenagers who choose to be followers of the crowd, so they can feel "wanted" & "appreciated" if they have this or that. We have young girls & boys tatting their own flesh & blood up with ink, thinking it's the next "hottest" thing in the world to do, because everyone else has a tattoo. We have young girls & boys piercing the hell out of their own flesh & blood at a young age just because everyone else they see walks around in public with "piercings" on their own body. We have young teenagers going out to "late night" parties with their friends to get "high & wasted," while their parent's are at home thinking they're safe & secure. We have young teenagers who sneak out of the house late at night without their parents knowing, because they're up to no good, probably getting high, drunk, or wasted because they want to feel "wanted" with their friends. We have young girls going out with older guys by sleeping with them & getting intimate with them at such a young age, which leads to loss of virginity. We have young teenage girls getting pregnant by older Men who they haven't even met or known for more then 1 year. We have young teenage girls getting pregnant while still in high school because of bad decision making. We have young girls who rely on their OWN parents to take care & support their baby after being pregnant because they don't have a job to support their baby, or themselves. We have young girls & boys dressing up half naked in public places & in schools, so other creeps can stare them down like a piece of meat, then most girls wonder why all "Men" are the same. We have young teenagers who only value themselves by physical appearance & love to seek attention by taking "nudes" of them self to upload them on social media websites for others to "rate" them & comment on how "sexy" or "hot" they look. We have young teenagers today who purposely drop out of school for the sake of it & not get the education they need. Today, we have young teenagers who feel NO pain or regrets for themselves or others & will disrespect anyone who they come encounter with, like they're nothing to them. We have young teenagers who don't care for others who they have hurt in the past. We have young teenagers who think that everything is all about "them" & nobody else -- they don't care how someone feels, or what they believe in, or what someone is trying to say to them, & etc. Last but not least, we have young teenagers who think they're "know-it-all's"-- they apparently know everything about their selves & the decisions that they make, & will not look back at the damage they've caused to themselves or others in the past because they feel no pain for others.
What is wrong with this teenage generation?
Grow up & act your age. There's more to life than blasting chavy music just to impress your friends, or getting high & drunk, or smoking & drinking, or shouting abuse at each other in front of little kids, or cursing up a storm in public while talking with others, or swearing to yourself or others in public, or saying the "N" word like it's any casual word, or disrespecting yourself & others by showing off your appearance with "nudity" & posting photo's online for others to seek, or showing off by scoring chicks / guys, or throwing the "love" word around like it has no meaning, or being in a relationship just for the physical appearance of another person, or being a follower of the crowd just so you can feel wanted & appreciated, or "tatting" the hell out of your body with ink because all your "friends" have them, or blowing your body up with piercings, because it's the next "hottest" thing to do & everyone else has one, or sneaking out of your parent's house late at night without their approval, or going out to late night parties with mindless crowds of people with loud music, or sleeping around with older guys or girls, or getting intimate & having sex with older guys & girls, or losing your virginity at a young age because you feel horny, or dropping out of school because you feel like it, or getting pregnant at a young age, (when you should be in school learning & getting good grades) or being shallow minded, by stereotyping, judging, & labeling other people based off of your own preferences, or picking up a gun off the streets & shooting each other in the head, or committing crimes in public, or using physical violence with your body parts to knock each other out to death by punching each over stupid, silly things could be resolved in a much mature manner, or Cyber bullying others through the internet or on social media with hate speech, words, & messages to harass innocent others repetitively & make them commit suicide because you feel like it.
Is this generation being serious?
Learn & show some respect for yourself & others who are around you in this society. Live your life right because it's what your parent's, or whoever has raised you would want from you. Plus, you only get ONE life to live, so use it wisely & become educated. The way this generation is going, everything is just going to go downhill from here. What is WRONG with most young teenagers these days? I can’t understand. When did everything start to change into this horrible mess that we now call Society?
It’s about time that our teenage generation takes a look at itself & actually realizes that it’s time to grow up. In my opinion, If we want to change the way things are moving for our generation, we have to break old habits that are keeping us down. Sometimes these habits & thoughts were put into our minds by our parents & our society in general, but we’ve got to man up & to take initiative action before we develop into a much deeper hole in society. This generation does indeed lack discipline & many other things. I think this generation has much more negative influences than any other generation. Honestly, I think this generation is almost a disgrace because its more violence, its more jealousy, it's more hate, it's more exposure, it's more sex, it's less caring, it's less appreciative, it's less responsibility, it's less discipline & it's more of everything that is negative. This generation also, for the most part, does not have the type of morals & a sense of passion for life as did the past generations. So many parents have indulged their kids & refused to show them right from wrong when they were little, or what's appropriate or inappropriate, that unfortunately, these are the types of people who have grown up uneducated, selfish & with little care or feelings for others or their self's. Thankfully, not all parents have made these mistakes & there are a great number of highly respectable teenagers.
See, that's the problem with some teenagers today, the good people have to mix in with the bad people in public, example: school, college, work, & even through social media & etc. Sadly, things tend to gravitate towards the lowest common denominator as the bad people & attempt to influence the good ones in a bad way. Like the very old saying that a bad apple spoils the barrel. So my sympathy goes out for the good people of this teenage generation, trying to be good while being bullied or worse by the ones who have gone off the rails in today's teenage generation. I understand that peer pressure makes it difficult for some teenagers to remain good people in this society, while other people out here in this generation act like wild, selfish, & horny individuals. I respect the teenagers who try hard & have none for those who seek "fun" at the expense of others.
I'm telling you people right now, if no action is taken soon, this will become the fallen generation. The ones who stand up & stay "We are not meaningless!" are the ones who shine brightest. The ones who truly understand what passion for something is are the ones who is aware that there's an issue within today's teenage generation & want to make a change for the better. For the teenagers without passion, they have meaning, but no known purpose. When will they wake up & see everything clearly? Will they ever? Can we show them? No. We can try, but lord only knows what will happen.
