  I personally think that kids these days are much more havoc as compared to when I was their age. The saddest thing is, I just turned 22 two weeks ago. I'm only a few years removed from their age, yet they seem to be a full generation away. I really feel like some cranky old man when I see those kids with their havoc ways.
  
  I won't take a huge brush and paint all the kids today similarly - I know that these havoc kids are the minority. Unfortunately, the way I see it, the minority is getting bigger.
  
  To be frank - I'm glad I was born a few years earlier and not become a part of their 'generation'.

  hey i'm in ur generation 1983.
  
  ya.. i really really feel old when i look at the teenagers nowadays.
  
  sharing the same sentiments.
  
  but we can't say all teenagers are like tat can we? there are SOME and NOT ALL.
  
  but as above the minority is becoming the majority!

  Same here.I only walk through Orchard Road on weekday afternoons before 5pm.Anything beyond that or weekends, is pure visual torture.
  
  That being said, I'd rather peruse a book at Colbar than inch my way around town with majority of these kids making a beeline for whatever fad that floats their way.
