Kids these days!

I am confident that some of you may have heard of Shani Naylor's case. She is a Sheffield 12 year old student who was attacked by her classmate, allegedly with the pencil sharpener blade! She has two scars and needed 30 stitches! One of these runs from her hairline down to her cheek, barely missing the eye. Ay ay ay, kids these days... Don't make them like they used to...

I agree entirely Sunny, there needs to be a radical change in the way the family unit is working!

THEY BANNED IT AT MINE TOO! AMAZING. had to use wooden pencils for all of 5th grade..killed my hand to know the others had it easier.

That's kinda sad. Hope that doesnt happen to me >< my parents are too nosy so i kinda grew up without their attention and i still am because they don't have time for me. and they blame it on me because i'm the big sister... i havent had a complete memory yet,but it's okay...right?>

The thing is, it is thought that this girl attacked her fellow classmate with a pencil sharpener blade!

even if people look at me as a kid still, i'll still put my opinion down.

Violence, Suicide, drugs, and sex rates are skyrocketing now. in some states, minors can't buy whiteout because kids snuff it to get high. Several other products are like this too. It's horrable. I swear that in my high school alone, about 80% do drugs, drink alcohol, etc. and about 30% are gothic. I think it's sickening.Things arent the way they used to be, and it's a crying shame. Economy, government, jobs, technology...the finger can be pointed at EVERYTHING. There is no single cause.

there are nasty kids and whether its completely their parents fault or not is not us to say. There are so manyfactors that putting complete blame on the kids parents isnt right. It may very well be but not 100% of the time. And putting a generlization on youth doesnt do anything either. Im sick of going into stores and being watched by at least 3 people looking at my every move assuming im up to no good in there. since there is so many bad youth shoplifters ect. People just seem to put a tag on teens when not all of them are like that.

but they can't tell the difference. that's the whole thing of it. they have to take those percausions. you shouldn't take it personaly, though i do agree that stereotyping isn't right.

Everythings changed... Parents don't spend enough time being Parents with their kids and just talking to them and doing things together as a family because the governments are so greedy so parents have to keep working to entertain their kids while their at work to feed them and pay taxes, children dont get enough attention so they misbehave and turn into reckless adults who cause havoc. Parents are either over protective and the kids suffer in society or under protective and the kids go wild, there is no balance level.

Who knows how this generation of teenagers are going to turn out...

well first of all you cant make a kid like you make a robot and did you ever hear of the girl with the blades half of the story. maybe the girl that got cut was starting stuff with her first. Did you ever think that could be her only way of defense?

I'm not familiar with this incident. But this kind of thing is not a common occurrence. That's why it was newsworthy. It's an aberration and not really an example of what kids are like these days. There have always been messed up kids. Ever hear of Leopold & Loeb?

We should stab every child with a lead pencil and yell in their faces, "HOW DOES IT FEEL!?! HUH?! HUH?!"

And see how they react...

Get started--I'll poke myself first.

Ready!...

GO!

Ouch....that hurt...

Although, I don't know what the purpose of stabbing everyone would be, but it was sure fun to do to myself!

(((kidding)))

Don't even pay attention to this post..i was just bored...
seee!?

My bored face

THAT Story Is Really Disturbing... =| Who Knew Kids Could Even THINK Like That? Wow.. I'm Scared. *Hugs Herself For Comfort*
