The youth of today: discuss?

[amyk_003]

"I see no hope for the future of our people if they depend upon on the frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words."

Discuss this view and the contribution of youth to society.



what are three, valid talking points here? with substantial backing evidence/stats/quotes?

thanks in advance for your 2 cents!

I don't see any valid talking points there. Why would anyone criticize today's youth? Education is becoming extremely more competitive nowadays. The world is producing truly brilliant people. How is today's youth any worse than that of previous generations? The stereotype for 70s kids is that they're all potheads with long hair who ditch school and become hippies. Obviously every generation of kids will be flawed. They're kids, what do you expect. Today's youth is fine.
