So pretty much if your so convinced that you cant make a difference in the world or how the youth is today why are you complaining about it? Sounds a little like your "woe is me" statement. Kind of a little hypocriticol wouldnt ya say?

everyone has to follow some bull ideology with no merits other than "This is me, I'm doing what I like".

---

What's wrong with doing things solely because you like them? Seems like a pretty good idea to me.

quote:

---

I'm associated with so many asinine mindless drones. Wheres the originality?.

---

Where is it? You honestly think this type of argument hasn't been posted before or even discussed. You are guilty of you own sin at the BEGGINING of you own post; that doesn't go well for the rest.

quote:

---

It's like everyone want to fit the "teen" image, which is bad, oh wait, I forgot, being a "rebel" is cool.

---

Everybody wants to fit into society to some extent (whether or not they will fully admit it). Humans are social beings. I'll touch basis on your word usage of everyone in a little bit.

quote:

---

That sounds pretty stupid right?, so does 90% of today's youth.

---

Inconsistency, your usage of the term everyone would imply 100%, but you use 90% in this statement, so which is it, 90 or 100 percent. If we are using the 90% standard I'm sure you would assume you are in that 10% which isn't stupid.

quote:

---

I go to school, and I am just bombarded every day with ignorance and stupidity.

---

From your post it’s very apparent you are actively engaging in this bombardment of stupidity due to your inconsistency.

quote:

---

Everyone has to fit a trend, everyone has to fit in, everyone has to follow some bull ideology

---

Again the word usage would imply you are guilty of the exact same sin. If somebody "follows" a trend what’s the big deal. The ideas of democracy and free speech could be perceived as a trend and it definitely is an ideology but are you willing to criticize that?

quote:

---

everyone has to follow some bull ideology with no merits other than "This is me, I'm doing what I like". Yeah it's you, and every other teen in the nation.

---

So what ideology would deem as having merits? If you name one you are deriving it from your reason which therefore makes you guilty AGAIN of you own sin. It’s impossible to be 100% original through your whole life. To belief such makes you more delusional and stupid then the people you are criticizing.

quote:

And those who aren't whipped by their parents and scared,cretin's, are druggies, slackers and most likely, are grotesquely primiscuious. And don't get me started with the goth's, always ranting about conformism, when in reality, their conformists themsevles, ironic isn't it?. I won't even go into detail with the punks, fashion *****s.

---

A whole lot of rhetoric with absolutely no point.

quote:

---

I see kids today on MTV and other garbage networks all the time ranting about world issues and what we can do to make them better. Yeah, to bad no ones listening, "You're just a kid, what do you know". Time to find another hobbie buddy.

---

Apparently you are listening, in your own words, "ironic isn't it." Again in your own words "time" for you "to find another hobby buddy."

quote:

---

This youth is the same, the youth before it was, and the youth after it will be. It's sad really, how most teens are all about originality and personal beliefs when they themselves fit a trend in which millions of others belong.

---

And you think this whole entire rant hasn't been argued before? Look at Guy Debord, you pretty much have stolen all of his social critique, you un-original trend follower.

quote:

---

Hypocrisy at it's earliest stage.

---

Indeed.

quote:

---

Bottom line, the youth today makes me sick. Media worship is wrong, your not original and your opinion doesn't matter.

---

And yours does?

All I hear from you Soil, is a bunch of whining and complaining. The first couple of paragraphs sound like you don't like how people judge others on their clothing and stuff. Then you started talkin smack about punks and goths. Where the hell do you think you are coming from? You base this all on your life and not the worlds'. Youth doesn't make me sick, you do.

Well, Soil, if it's any help to you and your normal life, I'm sure no one loves you.

How likely do you really feel we are making a difference by posting random messages on a youth-oriented website (that only so many youth know about)? You want to make a difference? Send a letter to, quote: "a$$holes in law" and rally together at your state Capitol. They either love or hate that kind of stuff, because they will be getting direct attention.

That's incredibly untrue. I was beaten all the time when I was younger and all I do now is sit around doing nothing and drinking beer.

Anyway, let teens be who they are for now, because we will learn from their mistakes as we grow older. Now quit whining.

I didn't hear you actually. All I heard was absurd rhetoric from a dilusional "punkergrl".
And about making a difference, you can "Try". Keyword here, but it's all futile. And I wasn't talking about the youth of the world, I was talking about the youth of North America. I see you can't use logic and peice things together.

Lilpunkergrl4u?...nice name, all your credibility is gone.

I didn't want to read all of your ranting, but I read a little more, and I have a little more to say... so sit back relax and drink some soy milk since thats all you probably drink. Listen here, you are giving the youth of this nation let alone the youth of the world a bad name, telling us that we can't make a difference, you are no different than those old a$$holes in law that tell us that we aren't going to be heard, well guess what buddy... we are. You have no right to sit there and tell everyone on this website which by the way is called YOUTHNOISE which is US TRYING TO MAKE A DIFFERNCE that we can't do anything about anything. Why are you on here if you think that the youth of the nation or the world can't make a difference? It's people like you that keep the youth of the world depressed and not heard, thank you for doing your part. Is this you crying out that you want to heard? Well I heard you, and I hope you heard me, have a great day

You are associating the youth you know as the youth of the world of the whole, and you yourself are fiting into a clique, the hypocrites. Just get over yourself, I don't sit there and go "Woe is me" I work my a$$ off everyday, I volunteer everyday, and I'm sick of people shooting down the youth as a whole, you don't even know me let alone a good 99.9% of the world. I don't mean to sound rude, but you don't make an accusation like that if you don't know everyone or everything involved.
