There's something I noticed.
Kids of all ages seem different. They appear to be acting... nicer. More respectable. More eloquent, even!
I've encountered kids and teens in my line of work who act friendly and respectable without having to be prompted. They joke. They're witty. They go out of their way to say please and thank you! (it's adorable with the younger ones!)
I just don't remember it being this way for most of my life. In my experience kids are socially awkward and couldn't care less at best, deliberately rude, selfish and standoffish at worst. I remember most of my peers being like that when I was that age. I was too to some extent. Most were so socially crippled they could barely communicate. When the old farts would say "kids these days have no respect" I would agree with them.
Is it just me or are young people behaving better now? Maybe it's just a thing where I'm from. Or maybe I'm just not giving the children of yesteryear enough credit.
