Dumb as hell young generations?

[PdoubleOTY]

Has anyone noticed the increasing amount of dumb things kids/teenagers are saying and doing, not just on the boards, but in real life? Everyday i see more and more teens and kids that are raised by their parents through a cell phone and tv. They ask stupid questions that common sense could answer, never do any work to find an easily accesible answer, or just blantantly do not care at all. Ignorance is the most annoying thing in the world to me when people do nothing about it. If youre ignorant about something for the simple fact you have no heard/learned/saw whatever about it, thats fine, you now have the opportunity to do so. But if youre ignorant and just ignore/dont try to learn, wtf?

i dunno, maybe im just annoyed with a few certain people in my life and feel like making a statement, but it really feels like people now-a-days around 16 and younger just dont give a shit about the world anymore, and pretty soon when that generation is running the world, i think we're royally fucked in about 20 years

Just go to your local city high school. Some kid today ask what a term in office was. And no one in the school cares about getting an education either. They think they are gonna be the next big rapper or sports player. We need a generation revamp.

Me too, except without the junior part. Its just such ignorance in kid's minds these days.

kids have always been dumb. TV and myspace have just made it a hundred times worse.

but i have a feeling that the kids who spend their lives watching mtv are gonna grow up to be the opposite people of who they are now. or at least i hope so.

i presented this argument to a friend of mine earlier, and he tried to give me the bullshit"well maybe they havent learned it yet" argument. It's complete horseshit. If kids spent some time watching the news, reading a few books, read the newspaper, or shit JUST GET OUTSIDE AND DO STUFF, they would learn everything they need to know...and its just as much the parents fault as it is theirs....The parent generation in their 20's early 30's is where i see big fuck ups. Parents that are in their mid to upper 40's right now(baby boomer generation) seem to have raised a decent generation, but the ones below us just dont gve a fuck...anyone wanna go live on an island with me?

according to your profile your 19.. so your part of this young generation

and nah, i wouldnt say people are getting dumber.. but smarter.. alot of youth are dumb, but then again they are some really smart young people out there.. infact i probaly know more dumb people who are old then young..

im talking more along the lines of kids around 13 and 14, but yes i am only 19, so i do fall in to that category of hte younger generations. But that doesnt mean i cant notice these problems.

i agree wtih you on the part that yes, there are really reallly realllly smart kids out there, but its not the same..

Perfect example, after my first semester of my senior year in highschool, the freshman class had a total of 76%(around 300 kids) fail 1 or more classes. I talked about this with my principle one day during lunch cuase ive known her since i was like 3, and she too said the numbers prove it. Every year they have had a decline in average grades and test scores. Occasionally a year will come along with a smart group of kids that bump up the class stats, but overall, the school was getting dumber. Now this may be an isolated incident(i hope so) at just my highschool, but its very possible that its happening in a lot more places that we think

Aye, I think this generation (of which I am a member) is definately getting 'thicker' as time goes on.

I mean, it's such a consumerist society, with so much focus on a very vacuous, insipid celebrity culture, which really pisses me off.

Heh, just my two cents.

yea i cannot stand at all the world of celebrities. Who gives a fuck who wins what grammy, they are going to get millions for it, all you get is to pay the cable bill to watch it.
