Earlier today I was walking along the pavement up to town.. only about two people can fit on the pavement side by side as it’s quite narrow at the section I was at.
Anyway my 2 friends walked behind me so we were in single file to let other people coming towards us past. Due to there being a clump of them and me not paying much attention I didn’t see this one little guy.. who must’ve been about 14 or 15 (but looked about 8 or 10) and he tried to shoulder me out the way!
I didn’t take any notice ‘cause it didn’t hurt me.. probably hurt him more and people do it a lot. But he did try it to my friend too who just pushed him aside, as he’s quite a bit taller. My friend told him to fuck off for trying that and the kid started swearing at my friend too.
This kid was really mouthy.. was half my size.. a few years younger than me.
Why do kids seem so rude, mouthy, agressive.. like they desperately have something to prove to everybody. Is it just that our culture is changing so quickly that people are becoming increasingly violent and at younger ages?
Or is it that in the last 2 years i’ve grown to become a bit soft?
Just wondering what others opinions are?
