I agree and blame it on jackass. But ****, some of that stuff (Jackass) is funny.

Jackass used to be funny, now it's just gay **** on the big screen.

It is defiantly the parents fault.

You used to do something wrong and get your *** kicked, and you learned... Kids today do something wrong and get time out. My time out was the time I spent on the floor trying to pick myself up after getting knocked down for being an idiot...

Teenagers are as stupid as they have ever been. The difference now is the internet and new technologies that make global information available.

Just now our dumb dumbs are more tech savy.

agreed, i blame the parents. if i ever pulled that kind of crap, my parents would have smacked me around. sure, i got in fights and did some dumb things, but why the F would you tape it, and then post it online?!?!? just baffles me. why not just drop the vid off at your local police station?

I am into it about on a daily basis trying to keep my Daughter out of trouble or doing something stupid. She still pushes me over the edge and at times I think she will hate me but.... I think later she will thank me!

To those posting here.... did you get beatings or physical punishment when you was a Teen or below? I know I did! Maybe only 3 or 4 of the times it wasn't justified. I hated it at the time of course but don't really have any ill feelings or bad feelings towards my parents over it. Just the other day in expressing some of the situations with MY Daughter I told my Mother she probably should have been harder! I still got away with stuff that could have killed me, gotten me in jail or in a rehab. I do think a light went off when I was about 19 YO to change my ways totally!

I learned not what to do from watching my older siblings. My sister would get a hand across the face for getting lippy, I'm sure I got spanked a few times.

Namely, I enjoyed playing my Nintendo and going places. No joke, the rewatds system works pretty well. I didn't want to lose my privelages, which is exactly what would happen if I was a ****.

I find myself looking back comparing if my Daughter and her crowd is worse me and mine back then. I tend to think so but maybe I am just a little to hard since I have BTDT //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Tuff shit for her!

I think people are being WAY to PC with raising kids...

I know when I was younger I HATED my parents, but I have so much respect and admiration for them now!

At some point for some reason, you begin to understand why the do what they do and that they weren't given an instruction manual when you were born so they tried their best. I guess that is what maturity is
