So one video of kids acting like assholes is supposed to be an indictment of the entire generation? I see old people grumbling about young people still exists.
Also, it is worth pointing out the vast majority of "young people" are well behaved. Don't let the behavior of some poorly educated, badly brought up yob tarnish your view of all "young people"....
Unfortunately children from dysfunctional families usually have very little chance (or no chance) to be happy, and their anger is their weapon.
I was smacked by my mum and I haven't grown up damaged in any way. What I would say though is I was frightened of my mum (I still am!) and it is more than just thinking I am going to get smacked. Obviously at nearly 50 she isn't going to be smacking me but I still have that fear of her which is hard to explain.

What do people think is causing this total disrespect in our young people and is it the same in every Country or just here in Britain?

I was bought up to say please, thank you and pardon, just basic manners and I would never have spoken to an adult in a cheeky manner or been disrespectful. I would have been too frightened to in case it got back to my mum.

I agree with you, there's nothing wrong with our children in the UK!

After travelling around New Zealand and Australia for two years between 2012-2013. One of the main differences I noticed between the UK and those two countries (apart from the weather) was the kids.
Kids in the UK have an aggressiveness that simply does not exist with aussies and kiwis. People in general down under are friendlier and seem to smile more.
Its interesting because the very first day I arrived in Aukland, a fellow traveller told me his opinion about going back to the UK for the first time in 10 years. The aggressiveness of the kids.
Kids also in western europe and scandinavian countries dont seem to have it. But those in Eastern Europe do .
I think it stems from culture and circumstance and a lack of sun. At least in scandinavia they actually have a summer!
Also Old people tend to be grumpy sometimes that could be an issue foricing people to punch them.
Maybe these nasty kids we see in the MSM are not the product of broken homes but are in fact psychopathic.
