Is it just me, or do kids nowadays act too 'grown'?

I remember what I was doing in the 5th grade. I was playing with Barbies, riding my bike and playing tag and basketball, jumprope and dancing with my friends OUTSIDE. We had Nintendo, but a was a big competition (next player plays the winner), but after an hour or so, we were bored and WANTED to go outside. We also wore the cute pants with the zipper and bow behind the ankle, skirts with leggings attached. Big bangs, stuck with hairspray, wearing Keds shoes, and Espirit bookbags. Now, kids are wearing hip huggers, belly showing shirts that say 'What if, Sexy, Juicy, Baby Girl' or whatever, trying to keep up with the celebrities with the name brand clothing and shoes I was surprised to hear a kid the other day looking at shoes saying 'These are only 80bucks? That's cheap! (I could use that 80 bucks to pay a bill), and what's up with playing outside? Now kids want to sit in front of the TV playing too mature violent games, on PS3 and XBox360, thinking they are too good to play outside. They don't play with action figures. Get this? My 5th grader son wants to wear COLOGNE and make sure he looks 'good for the girls'. Has to match his attire from head to toe, no wrinkles, brushes his eyebrows, and loses it when he has a pimple! Kids are into grown folks conversations, having grown-like conversations they SHOULDN'T be having, wants cell phones....I could go on...but what were YOU doing in fifth grade, and what's up with the kids now days???
