Well, following in "your generations" mentality, I wont sugarcoat this for you, your wrong. Don't play outside much? Not only does every elementary school have recess (when the kids go *gasp* outside), tons of kids play in sports. Maybe not football, but games like Frisbee Golf, or Paintball (in the woods). Sure time has been reduced, but thats been true of every generation starting with the cavemen. Maybe they dont interact with the kids in their neighboorhood, but thats because the kids today are networking so much further. Now we have friends cities over, we arrange meetings via texts, and meet up for a movie, or a paintball match, or whatever. We havent "sapped out the competitive spirit" you moron, we've tried to teach respect and compassion for one another. I mean, we know "the competitive spirit" helped your generation do wonders *cough* WAR *cough*. And to say were not competitive is rediculous. My high school went to state last year, and we won in overtime. The other team cried, literally cried, when they lost. You call that not competitive. I dont know what kind of dreamland you live in, but the crap coming out of your mouth is amazing. Apparently your generation was so hopped up on acid, they forgot REALITY. We dont award everyone for everything. Schools fail children. Gym class dodgeball still has winners and losers. My high school had multiple competitions between the different classes, which, unlike your dream, had only one winner, and only one trophy. God, who wants to teach EQUALITY? SHAME ON THEM! The point is to create a better future, not some segmented, segregated, hate filled mess. Dont say people dont get punished. Kids get punished all the time. Kids get grounded all the time. Kids do still get spanked sometimes, time outs for the younger kids, yes, punishment still exists. "Do kids even work these days in high school?" Pull your head out of your a$$. I think your believing the kids on MTV are the entire gen Y population. Kids save up for a lot of things, cars, video games, frisbees for frisbee golf, money for parties (and theres socializing there too). Kids try to get jobs, and its not easy. Either there are too many part timers already working, or people like you wont hire us becuase you think were lazy and wont preform up to your standards. I worked every weekend for a year, and two weekdays at my job. Trust me, my generation works. I'd say you need to get in touch with reality. The world isnt some lollipop rainbow lovefest, we do real work, just like you do.
