Kids these Days...

Im trying to read thru my econs notes,blogging, reading ppl's blogs n surfing the net all at one go. Wow!! Im multi-tasking. Haha!! i noe tt it is a futile attempt to study econs while im hooked up to the comp. :P At least im trying to read my econs notes. im trying. Shall try my bery bery best to understand econs so tt even though i noe i'll still be lost during econs lessons but at least i wun be tt lost.

'Kids these days'.. wat made me cum up wif the title? Haha! It suddenly dawned on me tt kids these days r very different frm the kids of my generation. It was also observed by sum parents tt kids frm my generation were less street-smart, more obedient n less mischievious. Haha!!

Haf u eva been to the shopping mall during the weekends in a bid to relax frm the long wk of slogging in sch onli to crash wif families having their outings n of cos bringing their kids along. It can be observed tt shopping malls r swarmed wif kiddos during the weekends. i dun hate kiddos. Actually im ok wif them... Im not tt type hu will avoid kids as if they were fleas. Neither will i go gaga over kids. N sumtimes, i do get traumatised by their behaviour.

I've seen kids sprawling on the floor, tripping ppl n sulk wheneva their demands for a toy aren't met by their parents. Their last resort which will normally succeed is to cry. They cry ceaselessly n loudly till their parents finally give in. they dun give a damn for the poor innocent shoppers like me. We had to endure the racket they made.Pity my ear drums. Sumtimes, i jus haf the impulse to go up to kids hu behave like this, give them two tight slaps on their faces, bundle them off n throw them into the greenie dustbins.

I eva witnessed a boy of abt age 11/12 lecturing his maid in public. Oh gosh! That insolent boy. Maids r still adults for goodness sake. Wat gives him the authority to rant at his maid? His pitiful maid had to endure his lashings without making ani sound. WTH! I swear i wld haf walked up to him n give him a punch on his face. Fortunately, sanity overruled emotions. I wldn't be any better than him if i went according to my emotions rite? So wat if the maid was onlia maid? Neway, he's not the rightful employer for goodness sake. He doesn't pay for the maid's wages. The wages cum frm his parents' pockets. He's jus another extra person hu the pitiful maid has to wait on. He's wasting resources to be exact. He's a good-for-nth. I dun wanna let ppl haf the idea tt singapore breeds spoilt n insolent brats. He deserved a slap. Not frm me but the parents hu led him to this state.

Sth closer n personal... Take my cousins for example. i admit, they r more mischievious n more intelligent compared to me when i were at their age. Kids nowadays r a brazen lot. i heard frm my aunt hu in turn heard frm a parent tt kids in P6 r already starting to wear push up bras. I was still an airport when i was at tt age. In another words, kids r maturing faster. i've also seen kids (upper pri) holding hands in public b4. At tt time, BGR din occur to me. I was much into Pokemon, Doraemon n Digimon instead.

My cousins r a stubborn lot. Told them not to eat heaty stuff cos exams r cummin. they need to be in good shape rite... One din give a damn on wat i was saying, the other simply shrugged n say everything will be fine jus by drinking more water. Hallo! If u really do fall ill, a whole reservoir of water wun cure ur illness. it will be up to ur immune system to tackle the bugs. When i try to nag at them, they will tok back to me n stuff. i dun gain anything... it onli serves to convince me tt it's doesn't pay to be kind.

My mum promised my cousin sth which i wasn't very sure. Neway, this incident was told to me by my aunty. Neway, my cousin told my mum tt if she doesn't fulfill her promise, she'll haf to do sum kind of punishment, forfeit to be exact. My mum was cool abt it n asked my cousin wat the forfeit wld be like... My cousin said tt if my mum doesn't meet her promise, she wld haf to kiss my dad, mouth-to-mouth in front of her. *Bang* that was my lower jaw crashing onto the floor. Im appalled!! traumatised, shocked, surprised n totally freaked out. im experiencing so many different emotions at one time but really... i din expect my cousin to make such a bold request. She's onli 12 for goodness sake. Im feeling faint. i tot kids at her age r supposed to be shy, innocent n naive. Im wrong! Oh gosh! i need to go to the hospice.

i seriously tink tt the telly is to be blamed. The nonsensical tv shows haf corrupted little children's minds. I noe it's natural to be curious abt BGR n this kinda things but... these little kids aren't mature enuff to handle it. They r too tactless over these issues. They need to be taught, they need to begiven more time... Shows nowadays focus too much on sex n haf little value. Woo gosh! I heard frm my cousin tt there's a boy in her class hu confessed his live for another classmate. The whole class knows it. My cousin looked amused when she went rattling off wif her class gossips. I wasnt amused. I was bemused. Confused by the fact tt kids nowadays r different frm my generation n note, our age gap isn't tt big. It's merely five yrs apart. When did sch life becum so exciting like sum kind of entertainment circle? It so tabloid-ish.

Im fathoming out this issue. *scratches my head*

Life isn't a bed of roses but sumhow i still wish it is... ...
