Teenagers have been the same since the beginning of time.
Ya, I remember back in the 60s when they played the Knockout game and showed up at school and gunned down their classmates or killed random people because they were bored.
I don't think this is typical behavior of teenagers today. I also don't think it would be very difficult to find examples of teenagers in the 60s doing equally as sinister things.

There's a lot more kids today, so there's probably more instances of these things, and we get to see them first hand with today's technology, but I remain unconvinced there's some grand difference in general.

To some degree at least, HeyBurke is correct. Many of the things we say about "kids today" have been uttered for thousands of years.

Broad generalizations like these are always dubious.

Explain to me how this is wrong, Landlord. Other than the fact that technology is different and hobbies are different, teenagers and children are the same they've always been. Kids are always gonna drink, they're always gonna use drugs, and they're always gonna act like entitled brats if they're not brought up right.

Since the beginning of time, huh?

Is that really your only point of contention? Kind of pedantic, don't you think? Lemme change that for you:

Teenagers have been the same since the beginning of civilization.

That better?
