Youth of today

I hate to say I would happen to be one of the youths of today and I hate to also report that you are right. It is hard to find any other young person I know that has manners with anything. I am only 19 years old but have accomplished a lot in life have a career and everything I need. I have a little sister that doesnt even look up to me she tends to hang with the bad crowd and I hate to see this happening. I wonder what the world will come to because of this. But I would like to say that there is some youth out there that does care and knows what they are doing in life it may be few and far between but we are out there!

I think it is just you, or just your generation. All through time people have been saying these things about the youth. In the 70s a famous poet wrote a poem about us saying our youth beeing raw, ill mannered, spoiled ans stubborn. The ways of the young change with each generation. They always are in opposition to the societys rules and regulations, and will therefore always seem rebellious and rude to the generation before them. Beeing that way is part of their job as youth.

nobody seems to teach their children manners anymore. and along with manners missing..respect for their elders is gone too. there are still some young ladies and gentlemen out there..but the sure seem to be few and far between dont they? its incredibly aggravating, especially since manners were one of the first things my mother taught my sister and i..and are passing to our children.
