    **** 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

    I don't know anymore

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Let me rephrase. If, on the off chance, you do feel the cold you dont care about it.

    Shur clothes are an accessory.
    We should all be going out with our Bollocks and tiddly hanging down smelling these women to see when they are in heat and them naked as a Manx cat.
