Do you think that today's youth is incompetent?

Yes! There a load of puffs get offended by everything. We need the internet to get removed, that will put them right.

And there are those of us who worked 10 hours during GCSEs to help support our families while still coming out with 10A*s

Please keep your generalizations to yourself.

And there are those of us who worked 8+ hours, sometimes under the counter, every week during GCSEs just to help support our families while still coming out with 10A*s (not to mention the grade 9s that were included in that tally)

Please keep your generalizations to yourself.

I'm not talking about those who work hard, they are doing something, I also worked really hard in GCSE season. I'm not generalising, look at previous generations, people took more initiative and worked harder. I call it generation raised with milk and pear (sweet)

Respect kid, I have a massive chip on my shoulder when it come to kids who have families with money who think they work hard. They wouldn't have a ****ing clue.

"Generation raised with milk and pear, creating thousands of genders, being sensitive and offended with anything. Where are our values?" is a sentence lacking any signifier of exclusion of those who "work hard", hence a sweeping sentence in the eyes of those who can comprehend basic English.

Because lives are easier. It's an undeniable trend that life is increasingly becoming easier through technological developments and policies. This is just down to bad parenting, but it's a moot point to suggest that the youth alone only benefit.

I'm no better. Seeing rich kids throwing away their education just cause they can't be bothered pisses me off no end when some of us had to fight tooth and claw just to stay in the goddamn system and not end up in some dead end job stocking shelves or pumping gas for minimum wage.

I see more and more guys without attitude, some even ask their mothers which pair of underwear should they wear. Others are work-shy, many are too lazy and never take initiative for anything. Sure, there were people like that in previous generations, however don't you think that more people are unable to do basic tasks such as cooking, cleaning their OWN stuff, etc?

We were raised by an incompetent generation so not really a shocker that we ourselves are incompetent. We've improved in a lot of ways but there's just as many aspects of us that need to catch up imo

There will be exceptions to any generalisation, but these will be few and far between. Congratulations for being an exception, that's great, but lots of young people these days are mollycoddled and spending their heads in various items of technology to the point that when they're pushed into the real world they don't have a clue what to do.

Difficult one that- older generations have always bemoaned youth: even the ancient Greeks did!

To put this into perspective, I remember some time ago in the library picking up bound copies laying around for 1956 of the local paper in Hertfordshire where I live, and reading in one issue of people complaining about hooligan behaviour at Potters Bar Rail Station late at night......those `hooligans` are probably grandparents now and no doubt moaning about any wayward youthful behaviour themselves!

I honestly think this can`t be generalised- my own view- and I`m one of those terrible babyboomers - is that today`s youth are no worse than previous generations, but the circumstances they are brought up in and form their views are. in some ways life is a lot easier now than when I was a child/youth: in other ways more difficult.

Nah, the younger generations no longer need those skills, IT literacy is far more important, older generations are seriously incompetent when it comes to IT.
