Gangs at school

Why do old(er) people always complain about young people like they were never young themselves? “The kids these days” are probably sick of older people telling them how they’re not good enough and how they were angels in their youth and this is a corrupt and evil generation etc.

I guess this is a way for older people to feel better about themselves by bashing the kids, ...[text shortened]... tical.

Humans will always be human, Gen Z and todays millennials will be doing the same tomorrow.

Every generation complains about the previous generation if you noticed! 🙂

I know kids these days aren't as polite as they were in my time.

I am sure the kids of today when grown up will complain about their kids. Around and around the life cycle it goes.

Having said that how old is gangsta rap and drill music? How old is social media? I saw a comment on a song that it was "so gangsta" that they wanted to rob their own house.

Are kids in gangs because of social media or are these wannabe gangstas? They were in gangs before social media.

Rusty we never carried Knives or Guns, we relied on speed and cunning and if cornered fists and boots.

I still don't carry knives or Guns. I am a lot more careful now as I've grown older and times have changed for the worst, in my humble opinion.

I always have a duster in my pocket for emergency polishing of peoples chins.

So now I'll know who to see when I need some dusting done. 🙂

When you were at school were there gangs? If so what were they like?

Didn’t really happen at mine; there were a few loosely associated cliques but no gangs that I remember. There weren’t any clubs that I remember either. There were lots of sports groups and activities; I used to swim a lot.

Schools these days seem to have clubs and gangs I believe.
