Ever since fun things like burning down schools and launching bottle rockets in public were banned, kids have been forced indoors into perpetual boredom/homework. Now we see the results and we scratch our heads.
Teens nowadays are so bored that they actually start trouble for themselves by arguing with their parents and fighting with their friends just because they have nothing better to do. That's just sad. I hear all the time from my parents about the good old days when the only real violence that went on at school was bullies and those damn nerds, who deserve every beating they get. I hear about how they used to have huge neighborhood baseball games and how they got into all kinds of fun, physical trouble, like cutting limbs off and burning stuff.
But like I said, we're all locked down. Residential areas are squeezing us in, there's barely any parks anymore, and those that do exist are extremely small. I dont even know half of my neighbors, and I dont even give it a second thought.
Instead of running around staying nice and thin, we're confined inside our houses, so we start illlegally downloading music and movies because TV has gotta start getting boring sometime and.... well it all starts falling apart.
Of course, by far the funniest behavior of teenagers is the trouble they get themselves into. Although I know I'm slipping into hippocrisy, I have to laugh at the dumbass teenagers because it seems like they are endlessly fighting among themselves over what "she said the other day" or how "she went out with the guy I liked" or some other stupid thing like that. I could go into how it doesnt even really matter what anybody says or who's going out with whom because it's just high school/college/middle school; but I'll save myself the effort by not.
Maybe I'm not being a hippocrite. Whenever somebody tries to fight with me I just turn my back. There is nothing worth fighting over in our lives now besides love and maybe money, if it even truly exists for us.
