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.
It's a phrase I've used, never meant to be negative towards young people but as others have said, it's more to say " if I knew then what I did now" I'd be better places to do well, but having youth now would make me physically more capable to do something with my life's experience.
I think there does need to be something done about social media and kids access to it. Maybe make it a slightly older age to access Facebook, Snapchat and other similar platforms.
Kids are under pressure from bullying and other angles 24/7 now, rather than just during school time.
Problem with the pack mentality of kids though is that once one parent gives in and get their kids a phone, others follow, even when they don't want to, as they know their child will be ostracized for not having the same things as others. It needs to change. There will always be people too lazy to parent well who just let their kids do whatever they want.
