I want to know what everyone thinks about why our youth seems to be getting worse and worse.

I personally think it's because of televison. I know it sounds elementary, and old fashioned...but seriously...

I grew up watching full house, i don't know why...but I did. And even a show is simple and "innocent" as that, is full of drama, and instills the idea that as a child...you can have the last word, walk away....and get your parents to feel sorry for you.
It doesn't fuckin work like that, rarely ever is a childs rationale better than an adults.
And to tell our children that we are supposed to treat them like adults..and see everything through there eyes is a joke....I watched dysfunctional family(a movie where eddie griffin does sandup about his life....one of the funniest movies i've ever seen)
and he talks about how his mom beat him, but thats what kept his ass out of prison.
I think that's true. I think children have to have a healthy fear and respect for there parents, and adults in general. And it's fucked, because the more children talk back, the less control we have. Children have more laws protecting them, than we have protecting us from our children. When yet children are the ones who are getting the idea through television, that they need to stand up to there parents.
If children were capable of saying..."Okay, this is how i feel, this is why i'm upset...i want to know how you feel about it" and than parents could explain everything successfuly, it would be different..but like i said....a childs rationale and logic just can't comprehend anything outside of their world.

any comments?

Media definetly has a strong effect. They just ran out of ways to controll the kidsI guess. They used santa clause and religion already and now they don't know what to do. I honestly think the youth has been demoralized, but I don't think there's much we can do after they're 'gone'.

...Someone please tell me what the fucks going on. Why are people on a rapbattling website making threads that are 10 fucking paragraphs long. Not just Brail in paticular.. but everyone, Tha Q does it alot too. Put this shit in the Cerebral Approach.. because who cares its a rap website not to discuss how youth get punished.

Cuz we have intelligent people who don't make dumb threads? We decide to care about what's happening in real life and not what the internet is doing?

Honestly, I grew up watching violent shows, I just knew better then to immitate them. It's the parents that determine a kid, my folks taught me not to imitate anything that I see unless my parents said it was ok, and that had a huge influence on my morals. Now I make my own decisions, but I still refer to what they taught me.

Yeah indeph. They ran out of ways, because of the white trash fuckin trailer fags that beat there kids...and don't teach them moral values...and 90% of the time beat them, because there high on some sort of amphetamine. I feel like with the media controlling how my kid's going to act. I almost have to use the rod to discipline my child, and let them know...pain and love is real...what's on t.v isn't. Unfortunately, around here. You even attempt that....a child can call child services..and have your ass arrested, and lose custody of your child/ren.

I also think factor, is the idea that most americans don't have any sense of history or culture....especially white people..most of us have virtually no sense of history or culture beyond america, and the media feeds on that absense of presence and self.

Well some parents take it too far, you have to truly know human nature and how the mind works to raise a child. The smallest subliminal can completly change a kid.

Yeah, some parents do take it too far. and you're exactly right. The slightest hint of anger, for anything...can completely warp a childs mind into believing something, when in reality...that anger was out of frusteration for something completely different.
You need a balance of everything, you also need to understand personality. Allow the child to grow into it's own person..without forcing your own beliefs on him/her...by expressing yourself to them, without being over bearing... to help them shape there own ideals without feeling like there going to be resented.
They need to know punishment is a result of disobediance...and disobediance doesn't involve thinking for themselves.
