What is wrong with kids these days? Why are they trying to grow up so fast? - Ohay - 11-27-2012 06:25 AM
A few seconds ago, a thirteen year old girl was afraid that she was going to get wrinkles from washing her face (she asked would she get wrinkles, blah, blah). And then I remember awhile back some twelve year old kid was asking about how to get "hard rock abs" for vacation.
What is wrong with kids these days? Although I am seventeen, I remember I did not care about stupid stuff like that three or four years ago (or even now). When I was a preteen, I was always riding on my bike or playing around outside. Heck, I did not even know what stretch marks were. Even now the only thing that I am concerned with is getting into college and getting good grades (oh, and shopping). What is going on here? Could it be the media? It breaks my heart that kids are just so ~*weird*~ nowadays.
London Brown, it is sad that you are wearing make-up and you are only thirteen. I JUST started wearing mascara and blush and I am ONLY seven-teen. I barely wear it anyways. Please live like a child.

i agree, I'm 20 and I STILL don't care about some of that stuff, I was reading one question yesterday about a 13 year old trying to talk her parents into letting her go to Japan ALONE wtf? It must be the media these days.

Yeah, it's all these shows like Oprah and magazines that tell you all of these ways to screw up your life as a child. = ( My kids are 11 and 8 and they both are planning what car they want to get, what they want to be, (In specific detail such as a marine biologist in California) and even what type of car they will drive! They should be worrying about how many licks it takes to get to the tootsie in a tootsie pop! Hehe, I aggre.

Parents and other adult authorities in childrens life are always telling children that they need to grow up, or giving them responsibilities that are beyond their age abiltiy, so children are always thinking that they need to be older so that they can please adult figures.
