What's wrong with the youth today?

It makes perfect sense to me. she loves this guy and doesn't want to live without him. Unlike strong minded people like me who would just begin lying to my parents , she thought she Had to obey and never see him. the pain was so intense she rather just end things. Makes perfect sense. I would feel the same. as for the socks? unless a famous athlete wore them, I can't see killing anyone over socks.

WEll I really think that the kids today think they can run the family like they are the grownup more than the parents. Can you think back of when most of this kind of thing started? I can and its got to do with disaplen spareing the rod spoiling the child. WHen PArents had to stop spanking or diaplening thier kids for if they did the parents could end up in jail kids took that in hand and alot of them do come up with things to put thier parents in jail so they can have their way. All comes down to not being able to be the parent!

Hi Miss Piggy: The answer could vary from one to another but I think that the problem is that they actually don't think about their actions. Most of these kids just act based on the feeling of the moment, the anger. Why does it happen? Probably because they don't spend enough time with their families and second, because society has sold them other priorities that they don't value their own lives and who they love. It's sad and depressing. ALVARO

The youth today is mad! They are influenced by media, especially the TV. I can see it on my cousins. They are entirely crazy. They wear ridiculous clothes, rebel against everything. I especially hate the EMO group and that sort. It makes me sad, when I see young behaving like that and wasting their potential. They should be competing in other things besides whose parents are richer and whose clothes are more ridiculous and who is pierced by more nails and on more lucrative spots.

Hi Misspiggy Well I think what has happened here it sounds to me like "Mental Illness" of some sort. I am not making excuses at all for these horrible acts however I really feel our younger generation has a lot of pressure more than ever and perhaps parents are unable to spend more time with their children, or perhaps this has been passed down to them through their genes we may never understand but I have to agree it does seem we hear more and more of these tragic things happening more frequently.

Morning MissPiggy,it's true that the society has changed in some ways,maybe there're other things about the youth who did some strange things all over the world.But whose to be blamed?

You are a person owing the sense of logic, while you should understand not all the people can think as you did. Here some people even in their 50s or 60s are still losing their logic sense, which lead them do things in a ridiculous way. To many teenagers, they want to get enough attention and love, while what they can get that is doing things in an absurd way.

Few factors are responsible for this.Firstly it is possible that such cases were there in huge number long time ago too when there was no media to inform us about all this.Today with advanced media you cant get news from all over the world just like that hence we feel these cases happen more in our time.Then its about exposure,sometimes you are not matured enough to sustain in a particular environment but since you have access and freedom you get into that space and ultimately you don't know how to behave or handle those situations.May be that high school student was not matured enough to get into a relationship,she could have seen her other friends getting into it and hence just joined the bandwagon without even thinking about the consequences like what will be the reaction of her parents about her decision.With internet you have access to all kinds of movies which are not suitable for children of particular age,but they watch those movies and learn from it.That is why we see cases like brother kills sister and cases similar to these.If a child who is not aware of what is crime and punishment, plays Grand Theft Auto,he might think that killing people in streets is a great idea.Best wishes.

:o that´s really wierd indeed... I think youth canot accept no as an answer ahah ._. I hate to receive nos so I´m blaming myself but I´m not that freakie to go kill myself. There are thing in life we cannot just waste like this :o by killing ourselfs it´s no worth the trouble to do it

Today the youths are not logical and they are driven by excess emotion and becoming more and more eccentric. The society is largely responsible for this moral degradation as well as feeble mildness. They need to learn social values and interaction positively.
