I wrote this in response to someone who was going on the whole "Youth have no respect these days" tangents. URGH! That drives me crazier than sexism, because there are so many people who are just trying to make a difference and they get drowned out by those who attend orgies for fun. *rolls eyes*
I am a youth, and I must say, all of the stereotypical crap about youth drives me BONKERS. I'm fourteen, I've never been kissed, hell, I've never even really been touched by a guy my age. I very rarely cuss, I've never looked at porn, I have a plan for my life, and I try to respect authority as much as possible. I am also drug and alcohol free, and have never been to an orgy. Does this make me outside of the stereotype? I don't think so. I know a lot of people my age who are upstanding citizens, even if they might cuss (so do their parents) or talk in class (who doesn't at one point or another.) Heck, I'm even taking college classes because I wanted to get ahead and move on with my life. So yes, youth need help. Are we all spoiled rotten and rotten to the core? No! Alright, that was somewhat flamey. I apologize. Stereotypes are just one of those things that bypass patience for me. Anywho, I truly feel like the youth of America will make a difference, and be able to help change the world for the better. It might take a national tragedy to bring EVERYONE together, but so many teens are just looking to change their world and get frustrated when they keep hitting walls or locked doors over and over again. Do a lot of youth need help? Yes! Do some just need a megaphone? Yes!
