Are Teens More Vicious These Days?

Ok, I was only talking in terms of the ones who had a penchant for being vicious in the first place, and it does seem like the new tech and powers it gives them does make them more vicious these days.

The effect the internet has on bullying is that it gives the bully a certain amount of anonymity.

Like, some little prick might not have the balls to say something bad to someones face, but stick him behind a computer screen and he'll be the biggest bad ass that ever lived.

eh, didn't I already cover that aspect of bullying on the internet?
I see that a lot, it's similar to loudmouths, who when someone intelligent actually breaks down what they are saying, reveals there is no analysis at work there at all, just a lot of shouting about how they don't like something, and you realise that this is all they have been doing all day every day for months, all you hear are big loud noises saying nothing of substance.

Hell, I remember stepping in to give an example to such a loudmouth, when he was being pasted in a debate because he held up no real examples to support what he was shouting about, because I felt sorry for him, but I really shouldn't have, I should have just let him stew in his own loudmouth echo of nothingness.
I guess I have to toughen up, and not be so nice to certain people who don't deserve it.

Whether over the net, or in person, it's of course far more enjoyable to put someone in their place in person, I'm good at that, I've yet to meet the person who could outdo me in person when it comes to confrontation. haha

edit: and the funny thing is about such loudmouths, they can't stand it when you ignore them, so desperate for your attention, they want to follow you around to bask in the glow of the attention you get, sad, sad little loudmouths.

edit: and y'know, if any of these loudmouths tried anything physical with me, I think they'd get the fright of their lives when I defended myself, esp at full health.

Because that's what usually happens when a loudmouth is exposed as being full of nothing much at all, they get angry and frustrated at the truth of the matter, and then start in with the physical threats, because that's all they have left to reach for, little knowing that if they are stupid enough to start anything physical, that will just be one more lesson they will have to learn.

edit: You usually hang about the thread to give an answer rightaway Morningstar, I mean, every time I have 'spoke' to you, this is what you have done, I have to admit at getting impatient to read your response, haha.

I think kids are kids, but the problem is technology. People have access to more things now, so it's easier to stalk and harass people. Of course, this will be exploited by misguided people.
 
Parents are getting worse. Thats the heart of the problem. Morals are also not as important as they used to be at all.

That sounds like loser dork talk to me. :oldrazz:
 
Yea, i think parenting is a lot worse these days for the most part. Too many spoilt little brats around and too many parents that are willing to blame other things, like films and video games, instead of taking responsibility themselves.



The idea that cell phones are obnoxious is one of the most ignorant things ever. What happens if you're in a car crash in the middle of nowhere and you have a broken leg? If you didn't have a cell phone you would die.

Oh, I know, but they're still obnoxious.
 
Who's cell phone gets reception in the middle of nowhere? :p
 
Circle of life, huh?
 
Hey, gangs that break into song-and-dance routines....that's some unnerving **** right there.

Sometimes late at night I can still hear "America".
 
I think Teens are about the same; a more sensitive society projects it was being worse when in fact its the same as it always was. IN regards to cyber bullying; internets just gives those bumholes a place to congregate and plot bumholery.
 
Do not blame the teens for their evils... for they are merely doing my bidding. Muhahahahaha!










Ha.
 
I may be wrong, but are there are less reports of teenage suicide and teenage school shootings as there were in the late 90s and early 00s? It's still there, but the repercussions don't seem to be as strong.
 
Less reports doesnt mean it happens less. With suicide at least

I agree but I think it's also harder today to be a good parent because of so much outside influences that surround kids today. They have access to everything now, internet, adult content, stuff that desensitizes them, being a criminal thug is considered cool. Kids don't respect of fear their parents anymore like they should.

Could you please explain your reasoning for both of those claims?
 
I think a lot of modern parents want to be their kid's friends. The kid doesnt respect their parent as they should. Personally, my parents were my parents not my friend and I didnt want to disappoint them. Never would I have talked to them the way some kids do.
 
"Bully" should be required viewing in schools.

I can imagine it now.

*nerdy or lesbian kid starts crying during the movie*

cool kid - "LOOO-ser!"

*classroom explodes with laughter*

It's so hopeless. You'll never change the worst of human nature. Which is why I think laws need to be passed against bullying like it was any other crime society wanted to discourage.
 
^Exactly. Kids in my 8th grade class laughed when we watched The Diary of Anne Frank.

Respect, in the context of parenting, seems like a very nebulous and ill-defined concept to me. What is the way that kids "should" respect their parents? Why does how they talk to their parents matter?

Also, I hear talk about parents wanting to be their kids' friends a lot. What do you actually mean by that? What are they doing that's friend-like instead of parent-like and why is it worse?
