I blame the entitlement mindset that somehow came about, the decaying public school system, and shitty parenting.

The other thing is, ironically the root cause of the reason for our declining standards and positive attitudes is because somewhere along the line we became pushovers. Somehow the idea of "equality" and an idealist mentality caught on way more than it ever should have. Intangible qualities like respect, honesty, integrity, etc. don't seem to exist in a lot of young people's minds anymore.

People need to be taught and understand that as long as there are limited resources in the world, it will never be a perfect one.



God I'm only 33 and sometimes I feel like Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino.
 
You think we're negative...

I have some pretty strong opinions on this. Over the years, I've cared for over a dozen "wayward" teens. Usually kids in trouble w/ the law or their parents couldn't be bothered to raise them (due to drugs/alcohol/abuse). It comes down to parenting...plain and simple. Parents can't be bothered to set guidelines and lead by example. They're too busy with their own lives and material endeavors.

When I took these kids in, we all sat down for dinner together. We discussed the day. We discussed the news, school. I took them shopping. I showed them "how" to shop. I assigned chores and, if need be, punishments...sometimes I'd have to get a little...."rough" with these kids as they were in their mid teens and you know what that means.

When I was growing up, my mother taught me things and why I was taught them. She taught me why it was important to have respect (but also that the respect must be earned)...Well....enough for now.

wsa the kid making a statement about shit fast food though? cause the picture was labeled "this is the lettuce you eat at BK"


not cool if they went on to serve said lettuce, cool if they pitched it.
 
You see this in children of immigrants. Even if their parents never acquired the language and culture of the adopted country, as long as the kids who were immersed in a peer group, they end up as fully competent citizens –

Did you ever make someone cut their own switch?

My mother made me do that. LOL! No, but I did other things, such as...

I bought my son about $200 dollars worth of skateboard parts (trucks, wheels, deck, etc.) because I was assured he was doing well in school, right? One day shortly thereafter I get a call from the school about him failing classes.

OK...

That day I come home early from work. I wait on the porch to watch him walk up. He asks why I'm home early. I said "Nevermind...Go get your skateboard." He asks "Why?" and I retort, "I'll tell you why, but go get it."

He brings it down and I present him with a SawzAll and I tell him to saw the fucker into 4 pieces because he lied to me about how well he's doing in school. He did it...His prized skateboard. He cried while doing it. A lot of people told me I was foolish for doing it since it was an expensive board. It's not about the FUCKING MONEY!!! IT'S ABOUT MAKING A POINT!!!

Some people don't understand...Christian did. He never lied to me about school again.

Now ask me about when I caught James (who was on probation) and the other kids smoking pot in the backyard. **giggle**

This sounds like the advice that my kids picked up from MI1.

"Find something they love and squeeze."

:worried:
 
I found that I eased up on my boys a bit after my divorce. Big mistake. I got into an argument with my oldest son and he pull the whole "I'm bigger than you mom" crap. I drug his ass into his room, when he wouldn't stay and tried to push past me I pushed him into a chair and held him there. My youngest thought called the police (door was closed and he was afraid my oldest was hurting me).

When the cops showed up. My oldest tried to paint me as the abuser cause I pushed him. The officer wasn't having it. He told my son that he was being a shit and I could push him into his room and make him stay. He told him a few other choice things too.

I havent had a problem with my son since. No back talk, chores done, the whole nine. It's hard but you just can't be their friend.

Obviouly we cant control genetics but a lot of parents have problems admiting their kid needs extra help, y ou can parent tge shit out of an ADHD kid and it wont make a difference unless u get him to behaviour modification ir medication.

A friend has a kid who she has taken to every Dr to see what is wrong with him and the real problem is her shitty parenting

Tell me about it. I kicked my son's girlfriend (and by default, he chose to leave too) out of the house this last Saturday over her boys. She's got 2 boys 9yrs old and 7 yrs old. These boys have serious issues and my wife and I have been having to tolerate their behavior in our house every 2 weeks. She spoon feeds the 9 yr old still and the 7 yr old has to wear a diaper to bed still.

This last Saturday the 7 yr old was having a fucking meltdown in the shower that was going on 10 minutes while my wife and I were trying to watch a movie. We were both at our wits end when I heard the little fuck tell her that he was going to burn my house down.

That's when I lost it and told her to discipline her child. Instead, she chose to get in my face and tell me that I will not speak to her/him in that manner. I told her to take her little pussy bastards and get the fuck out of my home.
