Youth of today rant…

To any young people out there my heart goes out to you. Whenever you hear older people moan about ‘the youth of today’, please take note when you are older. I keep reading about stabbings and cyberbullying and am glad I’m not a teen anymore. We all know why this is happening and it’s a lack of discipline! When I was young I’m sure I heard the exact same thing but we did draw the line at smashing up ambulances and fire engines! When we got into fights with other kids it was strictly fists only.

The whole thing seems to be out of hand at the moment. Prisons don’t seem to deter kids anymore, and ASBO’s are seen as more of a badge of honour than a deterrent. I believe that we should be sending these kids into the army to know about proper honour. Speaking of which, instead of sending our troops to illegal wars we should consider sending them to the east end on a disarming mission!
