What is it with the youth of today?

Spoilt little buggers, that need a firm hand, a kick in their ass, no allowance.

    I suspect this is all faked to get youtube hits, and generate cash.

    That's actually several years old! And yes, it's probably set up.

    yep or else he would have started smashing up the rather nicer cars outside the house ;)

    good revenue to be made from youtube I guess *IF* you get the video going viral.

    Fake. Like fog said, he'd have smashed the hummer (or whatever stupidly large vehicle it is)

    Spoilt brats annoy me, well it's more the parents that annoy me. Giving kids what they want when they start screaming and shouting. That's just a short term solution, and creates a long term problem. None of my kids have tantrums from the age of 3-4 years old, and they accept 'no' as an answer. They soon learn that asking nicely and being patient gets them more, and screaming and shouting gets nothing.

    Given as the Isle of Wight is actually set in 1983, patience is very important.

    Yeah the credit crunch. Many of the young adults of today are the first generation of grown up kids (1980's children) who got everything they wanted when they demanded. Of course when they became adults and mummy was not there to demand at, the credit card and hp agreements filled that void. I want a BMW now!, I want a 42" LCT tv now, I want a black leather sofa now (because leather sofas are what all the ritch people have), I want a iPad because people will envy me as I waft it about. I wan't, I wan't, I wan't. Do you want to get a job? Ahh well its my back you see!??!

    Right now it seems a large proportion of society would rather by envied than liked.

    Totally agree ! I've had loads of friends spoilt as they get given a deposit for a house or a new car every few years. Had to do it all myself BUT i would be a hypocrite i admit, if my folks said 'heres a deposit/new car' i wouldnt say no i must admit !

    But i'm sure theres a fair few people here who have been spoilt !

    if my parents were rich and bought me a crappy truck id be annoyed, prolly wouldn't smash it up, and prolly wouldn't take a swing at my dad. that's be a quick trip to A&E if i did.

    There are parts that are still stuck in the 1900s.

    Ah, so that's why the no. 1 song on the Isle of Wight is always Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, and also why that little old lady gave me a white feather when I got on the charabanc and told me to get a haircut.
