Inappropriate Behavior

jenlee · 07-07-2010, 07:51 AM

I love the water and beach and we had a family get together at the lake for the holiday. We went down to the beach to enjoy the 4th and their were 6 boys about 18 digging a hole in the sand in front of us no big deal right?! Well about 15 minutes after we set up one of the boys built a man part out of the sand. Vary upsetting to all that walked by with kids and a few people stopped and told the boys it was inappropriate. They were very disrespectful to all that said anything. It especially upset me that we had a 6 yr old, my 3 yr old, and a 2 yr old sitting only a couple feet away. So my family all went in the water and I was watching 2 of them and my infant. So I went over and said something to the one kid left (the rest went of a swim) he said "not my problem" and laid back down in the sun..I went over and knocked it into there hole. They came back out of the water and were mad. Tough it was ridicules and rude of them! they also left their gigantic hole and so the kids and I filled it in as much as we could so no child would fall in and get hurt. I can't believe how disrespectful the kids are now a days..I blame the government for making parents scared to discipline their children and parents for not teaching kids manners or how to behave in society!

I COULD NOT AGREE MORE ! It blows my mind how kids talk to adults these days . They are no longer taught to respect their elders . In another thread I posted about a 9 or 10 year olds using my sidewalk steps as a skateboard ramp . They even had the gall to help themselves to my porch (and with sue happy people these days you don't know who will sue a person anymore) . I told them to leave and one boy , no older than 9 or 10 flipped me off and to go f#$k myself . I would have never dreamed of saying such a thing to an adult . I have since talked to the boys parents and you know what , they were PROUD of him for it . The father laughed and said "That's my boy! " Now these same boys have dirts bikes and are tearing up the street with them . The cops have told them and their parents to quit riding them on city streets and other peoples property , but no sooner than the cops leave the parents turn them loose again .

That is so absurd! I would never dream of doing that when I was that age nor now at 30! I am sorry that you have to deal with that kind of crap, especially in the city limits! I raise my boys with how I see fit to raise them and if that means spanking them or time outs than so be it! I don't beat him but he does get a couple spanks to know he was in the wrong. Sad to think of the type of children my son's will be around when they are in school! Maybe I will just home school them!

One of the many reasons that we are considering homeschooling as well. Teachers aren't allowed to teach anymore because of all the discipline problems.

It is getting worse, I agree. This is why when my daughter hits the 7th grade, it's homeschooling time. I don't want her picking up all of societies bad habits.

That is pretty rude I do have to say. I would have kicked it in too, or had my hubby do it. What a bunch of bratty teenagers! You are right though, I wouldn't have mouthed off to my parents the way my daughter does it to me from time to time. It's crazy!

It is sad the direction that this country has taken. The children are modeling that which they see from their own parents, and our society at large. The decline in civility is across the board in my opinion.

Where were the park rangers or life guard during this whole thing? It looks like they would have stepped in once the kids did nothing after people had told them to stop. If I had done something like that when I was that age, my parents would have killed me. I'd still have been grounded.

It is pitiful though, what kids get away with now. I was always taught to respect my elders and not to talk back. I think that way of thinking has dropped by the wayside now, mores the pity.

I don't think that kids are modeling their parents. I don't know any adults that would have done that! It's sad! I wondered the same? Where were the lifeguards? They could have put an end to it.

Their are no life guards on the beach. You have to walk out pretty far to even to get wast high. It is posted swim at your own risk. I think we need to get back to not being afraid to discipline our children and I agree with homeschooling as a better opprotunity to educate our children how to be respectful responsible adults!
