Are kids growin up too quickly?

[dR3]

No.
The problem is they're growing up too slowly.

This is what I said.

You made a vague statement.

Why vague? Because I said 'I think'?

Part of being grown up is acting matured, as a responsible adult should.
If kids are doing what you're describing, they're not grown up yet.

Completely agree with this, but then there's also the kids who think they are adults with the drinking too early, having sex at 10 years old and whatnot, i know there's other examples but those are the only two that pop out of my head right now. It goes both ways.

No.
It's vague because you stated your opinion without backing it up.
In the debate section, your response should look like the introductory paragraph of an essay.

hyym I think that those 2 examples, + smokin n doin drugs, are hmm the most serious, and are the biggest problem of current life.

I think it's the opposite. A lot of my friends act very immature. It's weird I know.

^Kinda that
They're(and me too, tho) immature , but they wanna act like they're adults.They smoke at the age of 12 years,they wanna be cool, go to discos, drink 'til they get drunk, go out with people waaay older than them..
I got a 'friend' who started smoking weed at 11.I think it's fucked up.

I backed it up with an example, a real example. No need to write essays.

The problem is that kids don't grow up fast enough. Today's socitety is harsh and younger and younger kids are faced to deal with shit kids aren't supposed to deal with.

Edit: Damn, I see GGGG wrote basiclly the same shit, so... I guess great minds think alike

Of course, that's a possibility. No way for all of you to really know, but i don't really give a fuck so...

Kids imitate the main things adults do (drink, smoke, sex, get money) and so they think that is growing up. They only pay attention to the fun aspects of growing up and not of responsiblilties that adults have. The kids feel they are literally adults and no one can tell them nothing and distance themselves from reality and it doesn't really hit them until their 20s-30s.

Sad truth is, they are.
I know this girl, Ive known her since she was 9 years old...she's 13 now. She's been acting " grown " since age of 9. She is now " dating " a guy that's my age (which is 17). All he does is use her in the worse way possible. I'm not going to go into detail in what he does to with her exactly but the sad thing about it is that she KNOWS and she's AWARE of everything he is doing/saying to her. She just enjoys being used by him. it's like one of those Maury Show cases, those outta control teens

[Dani911]

No. Most of them will remain a "kid" even as an adult. And people nowadays has a very low emotional intelligence. But there's something why..

I think the media affects kids in a bad way. Almost all movies shows gays, lesbians and two people having sex while they barely know each other. But kids think that's normal since you can see these scenes in many movies, adverts. Cigarettes, alcohol, drugs sex. You can find these in the media always.

so I blame the media, the parents who are lazy to raise their kids and take care of them properly.

If the media was different.. the kids would be different as well. If they see the good examples and seeing that everybody is doing it, they would do the same. Why? Take a look at the world.. If a 15years old girl sees her parents and her classmates smoking all day and she has no self-control at all she will follow them.

now about parent and kid relationships.. If the parents are trash and they suck at being a parent most likely their kids will be a bad parent as well. Cuz they saw how were they raised and they think it's ok. This would happen in most cases unless the kid notices that his parents bad.

And one more thing.. I think the humanity is starting to lose their faith, and the ONLY thing that matters is money.

It seems money is more important than love.. And I think cause of this many of us are selfish and reckless. I'd even say they only care about themself. Anyway.. sorry for this long post. it takes time to read it
