I now under why the youth on this site are annoyed with the so call older and wiser generation. When the see, youth is wasted on the young.
What sort of message is that to the younger members of the group. A lot of the problems with the youth is caused by society.
The constant bombardment of ads and must have adverts just so a few can earn vast amounts of money. Lots of adults do not see this either.
Kid are encouraged to sit in their rooms for hour after hour playing computer games. Lots of these games are just full of violence, which over time desensitises them to violence it is just a game to them.
How many parents sit toddles in front of the tv for a bit of quiet time or buy the older children computer games. Then complain about them spending all their time in their room.
Parents giving mobile phones to younger and younger children. The art of communication is lost to text messages.
I would not say the youth is wasted on the youth, more that they have been programmed to behave like this. Would like to see some of your comments.

My take is that youth are educated to think for themselves but are foolish enough to give into social pressures, advertising and generally influenced by what is being pushed at them rather than thinking critically for themselves.
I'm not saying they are stupid, just they are too lazy typically the ask the "why" questions and take time to weigh up the arguements as it takes too much effort.
This results in them giving into influence and prevents them from making the most from those valuable years of health, vitality and energy.
Age gives us more opportunity to examine our choices and realise where we have been "played" by those seeking to influence us, so it is for this reason that I agree that youth is wasted on the young.
When I was younger I didn't think critically, I think you are asking far too much of the youth. Just my opinion.

Oddly enough, another reason why the benefits of youth are wasted on them
