Kids these days

[JIGSAW]

Have you ever notice how kids are acting like in mature adults these days like the other day there I saw a 5 year old playing an Ipad and listening to a song with many curses in it, also a 10 year old playing battlefield 3

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

What kind of parents allows a 10 year old to play a violent game with things that can scar you for life at that age

, or this time I saw a 13 year old's smoking, and lets not forget the kids that use curse words in our game server. The moral of the story is what kind of a corrupt world we live in I mean this has got to stop.

There will always be bad parents. I'm glad I can say I don't see my parents as being that way though. Well, at least my mom...

About the kid playing Battlefield...

I was at my camping doing some fishing in the small lake there. I managed to catch a fish and this kid came up to me. He asked if he could look at it for a second. I show him then he steals it from me, places it on a table, and cuts his head off with a small pocket knife. Worst part is the kid was 5-7 years old. Then he just laughed and threw it in the lake... I asked him why do that, and he responded "It reminds me of gears of war".

I never was more disappointed in my life. The worst part is that later I met his father, and he lets him play all these game and carry knives like he had. What has come to of this world...

You just noticed this now? This is what happens when technology advances kids no long want to go out and play hide-and-go-seek/manhunt/whatever, they just want to shoot people and mess with hookers (GTA). Moral of the story is that Internet and Video games has fucked up society.

that basically sums up my post and I see that's your 2000th post congrats

My parents let me own a copy of GTA: San Andreas and Hitman 2: Silent Assassin around age 8 or 9. I could actually differentiate real life and a vidya game, and not do stupid shit like what was told in Silent's post.

Seriously, I've had multiple friends who were gun freaks, they've all told me stories about 10-13 year old kids coming into the gun rage, abusing the hell out of weapons and smashing the mags into the guns and dry fire while pointing at people and say they got it from Call of Duty.

Didn't we have an agreement of this conversation 2 years ago back on zombie survival??

Thing is, society actually hasn't changed much in the regards that everyone's talking about. Bad parenting, stubborn children, didn't just start occurring. Rather, you're only starting to notice it now, possibly more and more, or you're just assuming that society's so much worse than it at once was, and that technology is to blame of that. Not necessarily true. At least, not to the degree it's made to seem.

This. I remember when my mom wouldn't let me buy Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 because she said "It Looked Too Extreme". She also didn't let me buy Splashdown Rides Gone Wild because it looked too extreme.

As a kid, I've owned games like Gears of War/ Halo, and they didn't really have any negative influence on me at that time (sure, I was pretending to chainsaw my friends and stuff with my hands, but those are things like that are what kids do, such as tag.). I still knew what was more important, mainly my studies. But I guess it depends more on the kid, and also the parent. To silent's comment, my parents have never allowed me to get a knife AT ALL, and only recently have a recieved a wooden switchblade (lol)
So yeah, it depends on the kid but also the kid's parents and whomever he hangs around with.

This this this this this. My parents think that too much of "violent" video games turn you into a "cold-hearted" person. I still care for people, I don't feel dark, I don't have an urge to kill anyone in my sights.

But yeah, the best thing to do now is learn what NOT to do with your kids.
