That's nothing. I used to deliver medicine from a local pharmacy into the hood. There were kids throwing rocks at my car shouting "get outta here whitey". Life goes on........
The problem is that children today know that they are untouchable, that they can get away with pretty much anything short of murder, and the bad ones take full advantage of that.
Just read through this thread.... Unbelievable. Two surveys I read by teacher associations- In 1950's the list of top problems in public schools were- 1. Cutting in lunch line 2. Speaking without permission 3. Chewing gum 4. Spit wads In the 1990's the same survey brought these results- 1. Violent crime 2. Teen pregnancy 3. Drug/ Alcohol Abuse 4. Teen suicide We've come a long way baby!
not all children..... mine knows that if she does something wrong, I'll find out and she will get in trouble. What form that trouble takes depends on the crime. The discussion on parental discipline these days reminds me of the Simpsons ep dealing with a rowdy young Ned Flanders... Dr. Foster: Would you please tell your son to stop? Ned's Dad: We can't do it, man! That's discipline! That's like tellin' Gene Krupa not to go [starts banging on the desk] "boom boom bam bam bam, boom boom bam bam bam, boom boom boom bam ba ba ba ba, da boo boo tss!" Ned's Dad: We don't believe in rules, like, we gave them up when we started livin' like freaky beatniks! Dr. Foster: You don't believe in rules, yet you want to control Ned's anger. Ned's Mom: Yeah. You gotta help us, Doc. We've tried nothin' and we're all out of ideas.
There are some jerks here jumping all over MFW. I wish teenagers were required to be locked up. I take the subway to work everyday, and the kids on the train are obnoxious wild animals. God I hate them.
MFW, I'm sorry about all the crap that's happened to you lately. I can see why you've been on edge. Hope you start having some better days. If nothing else, think of what a bright future the Rockets have with Yao, T-Mac and a bunch of expiring contracts.

No, they're NOT. They are very touchable. And if you have money, you will get away with the touching...
man...you should take off the tattoo on your forehead that says "take out your anger on me." seriously - that's a weird collection of stories you got there. sorry for your troubles and all that. USA probably isn't all going to hell - but maybe a few of the people in your stories are...and their parents .
