scared?
30 Answers
are we as a nation scared of our teenagers as declared on tv today. all those of you that are around the forty to fifty mark know the answer. give them a fu**ing good slap before it all gets out of hand. but no, we cant do that anymore can we, because of all the softy do goody brigade and political correctness, if we dare to stand up to these mindless ars*hol*s its us that ends up in the sh*t. ive had it before when a gang of around 14 youths were creating hell on our estate. i was the only one that went out to them while all the other residents peered out of there windows. i poked the biggest of them in the guts with a sledge hammer handle, and told them to fcuk off. 20 minutes later ive got the old bill on my door wanting to take me in. luckily the coppers knew the crack and done no more about it. what the hell is this country coming to?

Kind of agree with you tomtech to degree, however where do you stop with 'em?
For example, as a teen me and my friends used to sit on newsagents doorstep in the evening (after it was closed) and do just what most teens do (talk utter crap for hours on end and smoke)....but we used to get complaints about us despite us doing nothing. My worry is that if we are given the green light, so to speak, to face youths, the majority of the teens getting grief will just be bored kids not doing any harm but annoying the local busybodies for just...well existing!

i posted a few weeks back about how an elderly bloke was knocked off his feet on the pavement by a group of teenagers in front of me, they should be kept in a school/prison system on a boat in the middle of the pacific and allowed home for one day at xmas and one day in the summer, if they even look at an adult during these two days they would be breeze blocked problem solved
to give another example of sorting things out, this was my dad by the way not me, a group of youngsters were riding a scooter round and round the block where we lived. after a long period of annoying two stroke scooter noise, my dad went outside and stood behind a car, when the scooter came past the next time he stuck his arm out and smashed the rider right in the face. the rider crashed to the floor. but i tell you what, they never done it no more. my dads arm swelled up like a balloon. imagine doing that nowadays, you would end up in prison.
Seriously wardy???? you were scared of two teens? Even after your spell in the armed forces??? Don't make me laugh!!!
Whilst I'm not condoning the two teens you mentioned behaviour, I find it unbelievable that you were a) intimidated into taking their money in the 1st place and b) that you honestly believed a 13 year old boy was going to pick fight with you.
As for the way you treated these 2 children...yes children.....words fail me!

Those Born 1930-1979!
TO ALL THE KIDS
WHO SURVIVED the
1930's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70�s!!!
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we
rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.
As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags.
VERY FEW actually died from this.
We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank koolade made with sugar, but we weren't overweight because.
WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day.
And we were O.K.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down
the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
We did not have Play stations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or chat rooms......
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no
lawsuits from these accidents.
We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.
We were given BB

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of.
They actually sided with the law!
These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned
HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!
If YOU are one of them . . . CONGRATULATIONS!
You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as
kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives
for our own good
And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave (and lucky) their parents were.
Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?!

I see it all the time and it's awful, the local church at home has security guards on it as the kids congragate outside then run amok in the service and wreck and steal things, pulling clear like cellophane across the road is another favourite so the drivers can't see it.
Lived in a very rough area of Leeds for a while and it became commonplace to see the gangs of kids walking round with baseball bats and the like, the police helicopter over with a spotbeam every weekend, countless drug raids attacks, breakins and such. The kids used to set fireworks off across the road (when it wasn't being used as a drag strip) so they'd go right across moving car bonnets, they even fired one at a cyclist once!
Moved to Manchester and where I first lived I was right next to a park which was the local hangout. The fire dept were up 2 or 2 times a night somenights, they used to steal wheelie bins and set fire to them then when they ran out they started on the bandstand and benches!
Seem to be a lot of nasty assaults on buses too, see 5 guys kick the **** outta each other and a metal bar getting involved, blood everywhere and another one where two of the ended up going right through a window!
Madness!!! People are too scared to do anything though, it's rife on the buses with kids kcking off, smoking and smoking dope and noone dare challenge them. The last ones who did was one of the ones who ended up going through a glass window , two who got battered by a metal pole and another whose very young daughter was with him got threatened they were going to trap her down and rape her leaving her petrified and sobbing uncontrollably the rest of the way home!!!

The kids of today have got it 2 easy. we all lived life to the full when we were kids and were still here. we know right from wrong we ate worms we ate mud we stayed out alday and stayed safe, we could walk into our friends houses and help ourselves to food, and visa versa. we stayed out till 11pm and there was always a parent outside if you needed them you had a bath on a sunday night.
ive just remembered one of the things i done as a kid, i made a wooden object and fitted roller bearings to the four corners and stood on it while rolling down hill. i then progressed to a similar wooden object with a roller skate cut in half, one bit to the front and one bit to the rear, then realised i could actually turn corners by leaning one way or tother. could this have been the first skateboard?when was the skateboard invented? mine was about 1963.
