Kids These Days

Kids these days

Im at a particular time of my life that I can still understand what it is to be young and the same time take a step back and understand why adults treat the younger generation they way they do

Being strict, somewhat un-understandable and downright baduy because of how they run things with authority.

I always say that I have my personal outlook on my morals, just because of my depressive yet in a way straight laced upbringing...that coming from a very orthodox type family. Bad as my personal experiences may be I think I'm wiser and more planted to the ground becuase of those experiences.

Besides the point.

I have traveled the most of the world due to my work and I always told them especially the Pinoy Immigrants that when the day comes I have a family of my own Id rather raise them the Filipino way in the Philippines so that they can keep that sense of respect and love of Brotherhood and humility that I pride in.

Despite of course most of the American- Pinoys protest that “ FOBs” ( fresh out of the boat=Philippines) or Phil-educated people are uneducated ( even if we graduated in UP or Ateneo) and other racialistic throwbacks they can throw at me.

Nowadays I rather think to differ on my goals, not because of what those Amerinoy wannabes tell me but because of what I am witnessing of what the newer generation of Philippine kids have become.

Maybe it’s the price of our country's modernization. And families going with the flow of being broken up, and kids giving in to liberation thinking that acting arrogant and know it all is cool.

I would be guilty if I didn’t say I never went to that rebellious phase as a pre-teen but now being older and taking care of my younger family members plus my work in both Level Up and Sony gave me a broader view oh how kids have no blatant respect to authority and often use the freedom of speech or family reputation as threats

Ohh yes I got my death threats from 17 years olds.

Women are the worse gaining an attitude worse than that of a Mad Black Woman. Very unlady like.

Ragnaboards has been a hotspot for the new younger generation who carry that love hate relationship with both the Game and LUG.

However the forumers attitudes as of late has given me rising concern what have their parents been feeding them for them to talk like some Italian Mafia that can kill you and your family ( in some cases they actually get the guts to hurt some one)

Here’s a lowdown on some stuff I got

1. A Girl poster ( given she is a girl) told me to unban some one (just because she says so) and when I said I cant do that because of the severity of that person’s offense; she basically gave me sarcastic comments about my mod-style, life style and what nots.

2. Another girl ( given shes girl) Degraded my educational status too, ohh then I realized she made a post that she would never follow the rules, regardless; after her account was banned for derogatory language.

3. A prominent RB-er who has some run in bith with the game and questionable offenses that I have no hold off, has promised me PERSONALLY that he would cease his trashtalking in the boards. When he was scantioned not too long after our talk he sent me a VERY BEAUTIFUL email/pm trashtalking me. Worse this person has sent out threats and later on his enemies presented him with “ I will hurt you when I see you on World Trade Center” message that basically is getting ridiculously out of hand

4. Another person warned me to look out for my job after I warned a certain thread to stop trash talking.

5. A moderator’s mother was insulted after that forumer too was sanctioned. That Moderators mother has passed away already

Some people know they way I work. I don’t do favoritisms and rather I reply better in PM because I never believe airing out disputes in public would resolve anything. But now I just realized, that I am not battling isolated children who have just attitude problems.

I’m against a generation who believes acting the way they do is the right and easy way.

This dawned on me after I received a voicemail from my nephews History and English teacher that my nephew has been picking fights with his teachers ( females) and has been threatening even the girls at his school ( who’s brothers are members of Frats that can hurt him if he’s not careful)

And when asked why he does it, he’s reasoning was 1. Everyones doing it 2. He was just being cool

My nephew is only 15 years old. His older brother an avid RO player, was hunted down not too long ago in school by a syndicate gang after he double crossed some one on illegal trading in pRO. This cost his brother 1 year out of school and traumatized. Even that didn’t fazed him.

I know my uncle and aunt. They tried their best giving him the best education and everything but sometimes you just ask when did the Apple just go bad?
