So I was walking over to the local shop today anyway two lads no more than 11 years old passed me on the street,One turned and said to me Happy Halloween Mother Fucker laughed and walked off now the question im asking is that do parents not bring up kids to show respect anymore as a parent myself I can be strict but fair and if i found my young swearing like that they be trouble.
What do people think?. |

I think it is a very poor reflection on the parents. And I think this kid has not got a bright future ahead of him. Kids need guidance to navigate the sometimes choppy waters of life. This chap, it seems, is not getting this guidance. |

Yeah I know what you mean, I wouldn't have dared speak to someone like that when I was a kid, my mam would have taken fire out of me :/
Still, they're only kids and hopefully will snap out of it with a few more years under their belt  |

You know something this is all too familiar these days unfortunately,and it's got nothing to do with how these kids were brought up,they say and do stupid shit to look BIG in front of their friends...
How many of you are smoking just because it was cool back in the day but ye hated it to begin with??

Social media and gaming has a lot to do with how kids are in today's society and I remember the satisfaction of saying 'fuck off' when my parents weren't about. So no, I don't see it as a reflection of parenting x |

But they didn't just say the words, did they. They told a random adult on the street that he was a mother fucker.
That is a reflection on lack of guidance from parents. I have an 11 year old son. He knows better that to verbally insult strangers on the street..... He was brought up better than that. |

Guiding our children is our duty as parents but children are indivuduals and don't always choose to follow our direction. Do you think that children who kill have all come from misguidance? : |

They are outliers. Hardly a comparison either, is it? My son got his moral compass from his family, his school and most of all his sport I.e. rugby and martial arts. Both of those sports have respect at their core. I've seen the results of over strict parenting. Doesn't work. We are not over strict. We talk to him and try teach him the difference between wrong and right. He will not even repeat bad words that he hears from others in school. Now having said that he's not an andrl, but he knows not to disrespect randomers on the street. He has been taught respect..... |

And the social media thing is a straw man.... Twitter and Facebook and relatively recent additions. There have been gurriers roaming streets since Adam was a boy. |

Totally agree. Can't really blame all the parents for all the delinquents (hope that's spelled right lol) Society has a huge part to play also.

I would put lack of parental guidance as the cause of a lot of the troublesome kids I've come across.
Either parents being bums and pub creatures or both parents working crazy hours and kids with childminders and being over indulged to compensate |

Blaming society is an absolute cop out....... It's not societies job to being up our kids. It's ours...... End of. |

Society today is Wat we all contribute to it and it's a fast moving world, combination of sound family values n sense of morality is what kids continually need, some are much luckier than others. Doesn't mean they any less than privileged |

I think too many people use these as a scapegoat for behaviour these days. "I didn't know that those games contained violence drug use and swear words" is often uttered by dismayed parents who don't actually realise what their buying their children. Yes I'm using games as a example and im 110% behind parents educating themselves about age rated games. Too many blame the above mentioned things but hello who let them have them in the first place, the parents. Respect begins with parents not pointing blame at things.

Correct Biggs. The morals that we learn as kids stay with us throughout life. Social demographics are irrelevant really. It's the guidance we get at home that determines how we interact with others around us. You and I seem to be of a similar age. Which means we both grew up in the 80's. Ireland was not a very easy place back then. Not a lot of money around. Our folks did the best they could with what they had. But teaching respect/manners/ morals don't require money or wealth or means. |
