Is it just me or have things really changed that much since I was in my twenties? I mean it seems like these kids have absolutely no respect for anything including themselves.
I was having a conversation today with one of my close friends about a kid that hangs out with his brother. This kid is constantly stealing stuff from my buddies house. I told him he needed to handle that situation. He told me he won't because it's his brother's best friend.
Now when I was a kid if someone was stealing from your family or friends that person either got a beating they'd never forget or at the very least a scare of a lifetime to teach them a lesson. His cousin agreed with me.
I'm not saying that everyone in their twenties are like this, but a majority of the people in that age range that I come across where I live just don't have a clue what's right from wrong or simply just don't care.
I see too many of my friends let things go that just wouldn't float when I was their age. It's one thing to be a nice person and turn the cheek, but you can't let people walk all over you either.
