Reply to comment by JollyJoeGingerbeard in The Mall in Columbia will require chaperones for minors on weekends by f1sh98

Yeah but when it's a shitty generation that has no respect for others and cause dangerous situations, then there needs to be rules and repercussions put in place. Such as you can't function in society so now you can't go to the mall unaccompanied.

Having parents chaperone kids belonging to a "shitty generation" isn't going to solve any problems.

Who do you think raised them?

There's always somebody who thinks the teens of the day are shitty with no respect for others. But as evergreen as that is, I think you're missing the bigger point.

Honestly, why should they respect their elders? I was a freshman at River Hill when Columbine happened. These kids have grown up in a world where not nearly enough of their parents and grandparents give a damn to give them a better world than that. Some of them are the same age as the children from Sandy Hook. My eldest has been running through active shooter drills since she was 3, and that both infuriates me and breaks my heart.

Drugs and gangs aren't anything new. They've always been there. They've stopped hiding because they want you to notice.
