What's wrong with teenagers these days?
They lost their 10-year-old son as he crossed a road and was struck down by a speeding driver.
As if that weren't enough, the parents of Sean Hamilton were on Thursday abused by the foul-mouthed friends of the teenager who knocked their son over and left him to die.

low class remains low class even if they have money
Certain parts of so called middle class Britain which used to pride itself as being the backbone of society and the economy of the country is fastly slipping into the mentality of the low class?
O my So Santro is a lady.. Ukeng Wakes up!!
Must be the cooking sherry in the Vindaloo...
oh dear.......
heeee hee ehhhheeeeeeee
Bad parenting. Thats the root cause of all the problems.
Mixt it with TV and internet and you get a combustible concoction.
A neurotic will be the icing on the cake.
She just heard me pounding away on the keyboard and came to check on me! lol
MADDENING!!!!! :D
convinced you are neurotic and your husband and stepsons are the ones who are REALLY suffering. I would have slipped you some arsenic after 2 weeks of your shyte.
to seek attention! Get a life lady! Next thing I know you'll be telling us how you are used to such a high social status and have come down in station since you married your current lousy husband.
Lady, you need a shrink.
Refuse to have sex with your husband until he listens to you !
Yep! It's a vicious circle.. Teens giving birth to girls who themselves become teen mothers. Fathers absconding after finding out that the girl is pregnant.
My point was that this shouldn't be used as an excuse any longer. Parents MUST be held accountable for the actions of their offspring at least till they reach 18 years of age.
in a thread about the rising crime and lack of human decency in the UK, FYS.
Do you know any other tunes, madame?
As you sow, so shall you reap.
This is disturbing, they have no values..
What is the result of worn insulation of power cable carrying 440 volts?
What is the result of leaving steearing wheel free in the middle of road?
What is the result of loosing control during landing an air plane?
Disaster.
As a parent, you know better how to harness the power and utilise the power.
If you give good direction, same young people can change the world.
I think we had this same discussion a while back...
The Dole and council houses being the easy way out for young kids to get away from home by falling pregnant...
If you think about it, the teens of today are probably the kids of those that took advantage of this in few years back... moms and dads that don't care cause they themselves have very little education and were more or less on their own road to destruction - how can they be role models for their children, if they did almost the same thing?
I think people feel "entitled" no matter how lazy, neglectful and abusive they are....they have lived in a pc welfare state far too long.
by my comment ex.ex , and if that does not sit well with you then to be honest i dont really care. Lets just agree to disagree! :0)
too common, like young Gulf Arabs driving white land cruisers flashing their lights on my tail when I am driving in Doha. Should I act surprised the next time I venture out in my car and it happens again? No, and likewise I am not surprised about this terrible story.
I believe that you have a clearer picture when you have lived there, but if we start telling people they have no right to comment unless they live in the place being discussed, then qatarliving will be more factionalised than it is now.
Part of the society has been marginalised. The stupid antics of the government with its handout schemes and asbos has allowed these morons to assume that the world owes them a living and that anything they do is beyond reproach..
Hopefully, the time is nigh to say Enough !

All of a sudden its become "cool" to be demonic! A glance through my teenage cousins' FB recently totally disgusted me. Descriptions of ones self as "Everyone has an evil side I just choose not to hide it" to "angel on the outside devil in the inside" etc is like all the rage! And Subhanallah the bad attitude,rudeness and foul speech..yikes! Its not just four letter words anymore..and mind you its a part of their vocabulary! *sighs* So no I cannot say its about the country, me thinks the world is fast changing and parents should be aware more than ever before. Sadly though at times the grown ups are just as bad =(
mate its just sad when something like this does not suprise you. And i do believe that you have to live there to see what state it is in. Things like this rarely make the news anymore, as it is common place. So very very sad.
I think you are confused.
I am just saying that Tinkerbell should be allowed to express hers.
And actually, you will see that I stated our country as a whole is to blame before you did. Maybe you are just catching up ;)
the kind of offenses like hanging a baby on the wall with celo-tape? And what about teenagers like the ones in the OP. Back home now, the poor l'il lad is given 6 months of "therapy" at taxpayers' expense, time in a youth facility and then set up back in his township on the dole since he is no doubt "traumatized" by his time in the youth facility and unable to work or contribute to society. They are leeches.
Are we entering a "twilight" moment here ?
People should not have children if they are not ready to take responsibility seriously. Parents need to take discipline of children seriously. And mild disciplinary punishments shouldn't be categorised as child abuse. But everything is happening in extremes it seems, either severe neglect or harsh abuse.
The country as a whole is to blame! so i am entitled to my opinion also.
Plenty of Money everyone can afford to buy for their Children a Car not one,two,three or four...
Parents should supervise randomly their Children to used or Drive Carefully inorder not to harm anyone......
Some Teenager thinks, they own the road specially Locals who has Driven 4 wheel drive....It is very Sad....
Because of Monies, they can pay easily a lives.....
This is really sad.... :(((
Let's don't start this "unless you live there you can't comment" shyte.
I personally don't believe all is lost but we do have to pull back from this PC crap and start taking back our country to stand for what it once stood for and stop trying to accommodate everyone and everything.
crime and acts like these will never stop until the powers that be take their heads out of their a55es and grow some balls. Another class story from old blighty of a drug addict mother selo-taping her baby son to a wall and leaving his bottle just out of grasp for fun!!! what will happen? NOTHING! and brit i dont agree, it is as bad as that!
It's not as bad as that. But stories like this highlight the problems society is facing at present.
Less liberalism, Less PC and more discipline would cure many of the ills.
blame the country and the people who run it. It is shameful what people are getting away with!
have you ever lived in the UK? if not please do not comment. This is a typical story that is becoming the norm in the UK at the moment!
need to take responsibility to change it. It chaps my azz when I even think about it. :(
abdicate their responsibility is because of PC liberal bullsh*t, britexpat.
reflection on what has become of the UK - and im glad im out of the place. :0( Great Britain is not so Great after all!!
Yes, there are outside influences, but children SHOULD be the primary concern of parents. Too many absolve this responsibility to schools and government bodies.
Ex.Ex.Expat & Harry99 ..
I agree that too much liberalism, but I also blame bad parenting. Most Parents don't take responsibility for the actions of their offspring any more. Also, the government and judiciary needs to be stronger when dealing with such morons.
Sad
blame Police help line, U can't slap ur children if needed.
Now we are seeing the results of too much liberalism.
I blame parents of these teenagers equally for failing to guide their children properly. They have got their values all wrong.
At least that is my opinion. I honestly don't know how much lower we can go. I mourn for my country when I look at this yob, uneducated culture that is multiplying like vermin in our council estates.
people are not even ashamed on terrible things they do...i feel sorry for them, breaking the law is a thrill for them
Sad reflection on our society. Bad upbringing. Why plod didn't step in, I don't know..
My heart goes out to the family.
if no manners and poor education. I am ashamed. :(
