Stupid Teenagers

I definitely understand what it's like to be a teenager cause I was one not too long ago. I remember constantly thinking I was so important and life was so difficult. I also remember thinking that us teenagers were so slick. That if our parents only knew what we were doing they would kill us, or beat us within an inch of our lives. So in fear of of losing our lives or never seeing the light of day again we would try our damnedest to keep our bad decisions from our parents. Kids these days seem to be doing the opposite. 

Technology seems to be having a negative effect on today's youth and their social norms. Never would my generation ever record ourselves making a twerking video and post it online. My mom would have whooped me in public and made everybody in the neighborhood watch. It's one thing to make a bad decision and then your parents find out, but it's another thing to make a series of bad decisions. The twerking video is a series of dumb assed(pun intended) decisions. 

Decision 1) "We should get some girls to Twerk" (the teenage boy in me can't say this is a bad decision but neither is it good)

Decision 2) "We should record this twerking so we can recall it later and laugh/boast about it" (the story itself should be enough. This is a stupid decision)

Decision 3) "We should post this video we made, and edited, to YouTube so the whole world can see it." (Stupid,stupid,stupid)

Some things are meant to be stories and stories only. Someone in this generation will have to be president one day...how many twerking videos will come out during the campaign, and what will be an excusable amount? 

Personally, I think the worst part is that these kids never learn what is smart and what isn't. How many stupid kids need to get caught fighting, when no adults were around, because someone recorded it and sent it out to all their friends, before they learn to not record the damn fight?

Apparently the camera phone is the brain drain of this generation. However, I look forward to voting when I'm 60 for a guy or girl who makes Herman Cain and Arnold Schwarzenegger look like saints.
