Thank you parents for raising us kids of the current generation and making it look like the kids are the ones that are all bad. Not to start anything, I just think a lot of it has to do with the parents at home and how they raise thier kids, and not to say that anyone here raises thier kids wrong or anything either. I am only 20 and still wonder how kids nowadays are ever going to make it in life. I can't wait for my first high school reunion, just to see what other poeple will be doing then.

yep a lot of people I went to high school now are in jail for drugs or crime and many are working at local fastfood/gas stations.



As far as banning the gaming systems comment...well I grew up my parents never had cable, and never got me a gaming system. I jumped on my parents computer at age 5 though and was fluent in dos shortly after. It only went downhill from there

We never had a computer until about 95, got a N64 in 2000, a PS1 in 2003, and a PS2 last year.

Wait, There'* another way to be raised?

We got a Mac PS/2 like three years after they came out, and kept it until Win95 hit the market, Then we got a Packard Bell p233, Which my parents still use.

I actually can't remember one time sitting in the house and watching TV, but I still have about 30 of my Tonka trucks, the real steel ones that when you fell you split your lip. Oddly enough I haven't had a cold all year. I've even still got my Kent BMX i got for my 6th birthday, It'* got so many strokes on it I had to replace all four sets of bearings.

Yeah, My parents were born in the 60'*
