Kids these days

One thing I have started to notice lately is that this world is changing, and not for the betterment of society. I have begun to notice that children around the age of 10 – 15 have almost no respect for anyone of authority. They curse at their parents, and at their neighbours. Last week I had an 8 year old run at me and tell me to F off, just because I wouldn’t move out of the way while shovelling the snow. I was horrified to see that their parent did not react to what the child had said and kept walking. Part of me wanted to grab that kid and give him a spanking that his parents should have given him. I know for a fact that if my parents catch me swearing or saying mean things, they would still lecture me about it. It is really sad that these kids are our future, and if they can’t learn to respect their elders or their peers, I fear that the future may be doomed.
