"You kids"

There's something I've been meaning to say on here for a while, and with the events of the last few days and people's reaction to them, this seems like a good time to get around to it.

A lot of you on these forums are young - particularly those that post regularly in the FoG threads.

I've never been particularly fond of 'kids'; even when I was at school, I saw many of the people as immature, and I didn't have time for them.

Even today when I walk around the estate where I live, and in Northampton Town Centre, I see people about the same age as many of you - teenagers - acting and sounding like complete idiots. There are even those in their late teens or early/mid-twenties who should know better, behaving like complete morons and sounding like retards with their mates.

It's not like that here.

Although I've had differences of opinion with some of you, I regard you all very highly and have a lot of respect for you. Whether you realise it or not, you shame a lot of people twice your age. You are thoughtful, considerate and caring, and it is refreshing to see that not *all* youngsters these days are only interested in drink, drugs, and skipping school to be 'hip and cool' with their friends.

Thanks guys.

Yeah same here. The reason why I first came here was because of... errr... GAD... :-) But the seconds reason was becasue no adult/older person would listen to me becasue I'm young. That's why when I first came here I didn't tell anyone my age until I'd been here a while so everyone could get used to my writing and to me, then I told them my age and.... No one believed me!

Quite funny really... :-)

This is a very sterotypical thread.

It doesn't take much, but quite frankly, you've confused me ;)
