The 1st shot

Ok so this is my 1st attempt at blogging. I hope everyone enjoys reading about my views and hopefully create some discussion about them.

My first topic will be about the stresses and pressure that is put on young adults from 16 - 25.

There is the stereotype that all young adults are thugs. You wear a hoodie in the street or hang around with a group of friends everyone gives you a wide birth. No one knows who you are and what you have done. The media constantly forces it down your throat about all the bad things that have happened of course people will form stereotypes.

But what you have to ask is if things were so much different in older peoples day and so much better then why has it changed if they are our role models, the ones that teach us, govern the country. Then who really is to blame in the social break down of the country?
If you look at some of the scandals that politicians have been through i.e. expenses and claiming more than they need. Is that any better than the person claiming benefits fraudulently to try and survive on what little they have as it is. Just because we have elected them to run our country and that they have/ had our trust.

Is it the youth who are the "thugs" on the streets or the politicians and authorities who are constantly telling us what we can and can not do. Of course young people will rebel they don't want the country they are growing up in and one day will run to be ruined by a generation that shows nothing but scorn and disregard in the youth of today.

So is it the fact that the youth are more misbehaved today than they were 30 years ago. Or is it the fact that the media is now so wide spread and accessible to everyone in seconds that people just know more about what has happened then ever before. Do people look back on their youth and only remember the good points. Or is it the older generation blowing it out of proportion just so they can place stricter measures on us to control and manipulate us to not rebel against the state?

To be continued

I hope you enjoy my 1st attempt at a blog and any feedback would be good. There will be more to come. Not just me ranting.
