Young People

WhoWhatWhere

**** me if I don't despise young people. Some of them are alright yes, but these teeny boppers cutting about at 2am on the streets and that, excuse me, go home? In town today and there were young wans with shirts barely long enough to cover whatever was underneath, now when did wearing what is essentially a bra in public become acceptable? Now I'm not trying to say they should all wear skirts to their ankles but it's gotten out of hand really. At one time it was rare to see women in belly tops but when they cut about with a top that bypasses the midriff and shoulders it's gone a bit far imo. Maybe I'm mad but I think it's horribly unappealing if I met my wife dressed in that manner I wouldn't be married to her no sir. And the young fellas who put their pants in their socks?? The **** is this??? Holy Christmas fashion and style has just gone to the dogs. Young ones wearing half nothing young lads wearing their pants tucked into their socks who in the Christ said "aye this is cool!" WHEN I WAS YOUNG THAT WOULD BE MADE FUN OF

The 18/19 year olds of today were 9,10,11 when high-speed internet became ubiquitous. I would imagine that, for fairly obvious reasons, having unfettered personal access to this technology has had enormous impact on their collective psyche, what they consider to be "normal" with regard to "decency" etc. And in some ways, if *they* don't see any problem with what they have grown to see as normal, then it is not a problem for *them* - it is instinctive for those older than them to feel bothered by their differing ideas of what "normal" is though and an older persons feelings of ill-ease shouldn't be just automatically ridiculed nor should the older person pretend to themselves they *don't* feel ill at ease. I know for me, as someone in their mid 20s, I actually feel a bit envious of people aged 18/19 now - life seems even more hedonistic nowadays than when I was that age, fashions are more aesthetic, everyone looks better looking etc.

If I'm honest, Im a small bit envious of them.
I mean, what a great time of life that is/was.

I'm honestly not. I don't think I'd want to be a young wan these days. It sounds like far too much work.

Might seen like that now but at the time it was all fun.

WhoWhatWhere

Like the time I caught the ferry over to shellbyville. I need a new heel for my shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville. Which is what they called Shellbyville in those days. So, I tied an oinon to my belt. Which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and it those days nickels had pictures of bumble bees on em. Give me 5 bees for a quarter you'd say. Now the important thing is I had a onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions, cos of the war, the only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.

Weathers a bit cold for that kind of carry on. Did you offer the young ladies a jacket. In my day it would have been the gentlemanly thing to do!

The pressure of it all, having to worry about stupid things you've done going viral on the internet. Body image being totally fcuked up. Bleedin "contouring". Pressures in school, doing absolutely brilliantly in exams is an expectation of all teens nowadays, much more than when I was young. Pressure for sex starts much younger.

Just all of it really. I'd take being a teen 20 years ago, over being a teen now, any day of the week.

I only hate them because they have a plethora of cosmetics and beauty products at their disposal to amplify their youthful beauty. All we had was blue nail varnish, So? deodorant and a cover girl lip gloss if you were lucky. I remember going into BT and pawning my money with my best friends money and we bought a clinic lip gloss between us. We thought we were the bees fúcking knees. Nowadays young people have designer everything and hair extensions, professional makeup etc. Fúckers :P Actually I don't hate them at all and sure weren't we all young once.

I'm lying on the couch beside the fire and as far as makeup is concerned, I've never worn makeup in my life.

If you are 21, then everything you've mentioned was done by people your age during your teenage years, and a lot is still done by people your age now. What are you on about?

Widdershins

It was the same ten years ago as far as the clothes go but I they have very fancy cosmetics and hair extensions now. And cars.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

Ten years ago it was piercings. I wasn't even a wild kid and I was getting holes punched in myself left right and centre, most of the girls I hung around with had sucked dick by about 14 or 15. I was drinking from about 13. Remember a girl in the year above me (2nd year) ended up being carted off in an ambulance from having a bad reaction to some drugs she took at the under age disco. When we all started to go to the over 16s disco (at 14/15) the biggest fear was seeing someone swallow their tongue from taking xtc. In fact I remember a particular scary incident behind the harriers where some young lad was having some sort of seizure from whatever he'd taken and security turning a blind eye.
The last night I was at it the drugs squad raided it and it was shut down shortly after that. And let's not forget planet love and gods kitchen.


That'd be 10 odd years ago. Kids wore too much makeup, made bad decisions, got the ride at an early age, had access to drugs, thought they were the sh1t in tartan skirts, uggs, fluffy boots, lots of piercings. Mad for the raves. No problem sourcing alcoholic beverages.

If young ones prefer spending 50 euro on a foundation or a contour kit and some lipsticks, I'd rather that than a 50bag of Coke from an aul one hanging around the bathrooms.

No it wasn't. It might have been for you, but where I'm from, it was fake ID and flagons it was only tattoos with scumbags.

Where did I mention anything about tattoos? I was a very uncool kid. I got pierced, I drank, and I dyed my hair pinks and purples and cosmic blue on one horrific occasion. I was by no means a wild kid. But that doesn't mean our generation was any better than the young ones now. People are going on like their ruining the world. If anything they're not as much of a dose as we were, as there was no shortage of cash back then.
