It aint bad enough they got to gab on their phones or text or do their makeup ect. But get a couple of teen girls in a car and all bets of common sense is off!

Comeing home im behind a lil black car with two teen girls about 17-18 or so in it. Just a yapping away. Usualy looking at each other instead of the road.
They turn off onto my road and come to a complete stop in the middle of the road and just set there.

Of course they dont come to a full stop UNTILL ive just turned behind them off the curve.
Had to do one of them lean it hard one way into the other lane and then hard back to my lane. That or eat a bumper.
After i pass i guess they decided that wasnt such a good spot to stop and gab.
They had stopped on down the road a bit it wouldnt of been bad. But they stopped just as soon as they turned JUST as i turned in behind them. Twits.

Bad enough the soccer moms in SUVs with cell phones are trying to kill us. I guess its rubbed off on their lil girls now so THEIR trying to kill us.

Kids aint what kids used to be!
The last generation or two of parents have just let kids run hawg wild doing anything they want and giveing them anything they want. Their spoiled!
Try to get a decent days work out of one. Forget trying to get one to go work in the hay fields, build fence or cut wood, your SOL!
And unless its a video game their attention span is about 3 seconds.
Common sense is a thing of the past for most of them.

Both my girls claim im rough on them...lol
But get in a fight with one and she will kick your butt. Drop her off out in the toolies by herself and she will survive and find her way home.
Youngest like to take things apart to see how they work then put em back together again.
This is good but HAS proved to be a PAIN in my arse a time or two though. Like when i got to put it back together and ive never been in the thing before!
He!!, the youngest outworks me sometimes. Makes the older one jealous...

"I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on
frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond
words... When I was young, we were taught to be discreet and
respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise
[disrespectful] and impatient of restraint" (Hesiod, 8th century BC).

Retroactive abortion up to the age of 18...
... much more effective than,... "... if you don't knock it off, I'm pulling this car over"...

I must've had their grandparents in front of me tonight coming home from work! Stayed stopped through half the right turn light, then tried to stop twice in the middle of the road within the first two blocks. Took a bit of escape route ingenuity to keep from being the middle of an idiot sandwich. I got around them after the second time while the truck that was trying to rear end me stopped to offer a few "kind words of advice" and that old familiar wave!  

The problem lies with the fact that there are no consequences for bad behavior. I teach in youth detention centers and group homes.
These are kids who have usually run afoul of the law.
I had one female student aged 14 who was on probation for attacking a schoolmate with a knife. On New years eve she and three friends were drunk at a fast food place and were asked to quiet down by an adult couple. At her instigation they beat the couple up severely enough to put them in the hospital for a week, and stole their car. They were caught that night. She was back at the group home two days later, bragging about it.
The next Saturday she shop lifted a bunch of clothes from a discount store and attempted to give it away to the other girls in the home. he police were called, and she was given a warning and instructed to return the goods. When the store attempted to bring charges the police said they had already dealt with her and refused to arrest her. The store could not make a claim in small claims court because she had returned the goods. The judge put her in juvenile detention for TWO WEEKS as a result of her violence on New Years, then released to the group home again. Of all the kids I have taught she was the only one I was afraid of- a true sociopath.
