i disagree. just because i am 21 i am automatically a dirtbag teenager?
there are 21 year olds out there that dont party, have respect for others, and mainly have respect for themselves. i work hard for everything i own, my parents taught me that if you want something, you earn it. which i thank them for daily, you have more enjoyment out of it if you yourself worked you ass off to get it. maturity is key.
Trevloc, you'd have to live in an on-post housing area to really get the feel for what i'm talking about...a lot of these parents with kids take no responsibility at all. their kids run wild and do whatever they want. There are a lot of good teenage kids out there, just go to any small rural farming town in america....they are the places where if kids do something dumb, their parents know before they get home, and they work for what they want. i'm not saying i hate all teenagers, hell, theres still a couple in my unit who arent even 20 yet. Kids are a direct product of their parents and their society. Parents who discipline and teach their children right from wrong end up producing better children on the average. most folks my age, if you screwed up, you got your butt whooped. now folks are afraid to spank their kids cuz it's child abuse. It's all a product of todays society. We need stuff from 30 years ago to come back.
