what is up with kids these days????!!!!!

Proudmomma · April 2011

My daughter is in 5th grade now. We moved over a year ago and she made two best friends. Here kids are different. My kid is sweet and outgoing. She makes friends easily.

Well these kids here have issues! I swear they need mental help. Jas has a friend that is sweet and has manners for the most part but out of no where has been flipping out on Jas. Now they aren't friends. That girl is also going on dating sites and chatting with these so called 13 yr old boys which I bet are actual perverts.

The other friend has to get help. Jas asked her today why she is in trouble and out of no where her friend cusses her out and says Jas can talk bad all she wants and they shouldn't be friends anymore. This kid was one if my favorites but I knew I had to start weening them from each other due to life changing middle school next year and the friend is into emo and curses and tries to get Jas to do things she doesn't want to like talk to boys.

I don't understand why these kids are going nuts. I feel so bad for Jas it makes me want to cry. Sometimes I want to move where the kids are decent more. Maybe I will home school her except for math and history.

Yeah this is sad and unfortunately these kids are no good for your child.. you need to change the company she keeps or it could get worse

Girls in the 5th grade tend to get clicky, and dramatic. My daughter constantly likes one girl, next minute they are mad at each other. It's that way between all her friends. She wants a sleepover for her bday party, but she tells me certain girls will not get along with this one or that one! can't wait till the highschool drama

I think in every state, city ect u will see this is middle school. Hopefully she can find a real friend where they will never argue. I'm still waiting for my daughter lol

There are nasty kids everywhere hun...were in England and they r just as bad! My 5 year old has just broken his arm by falling off his bike and his so called friends laughed! They also tell him to go away and they hate him all the time! He has no idea why they r so nasty to him...it upsets him soooooooooooo much...makes me so angry...makes me feel that i should have raised him to b a bully too because maybe he would fit in better...really feel for you and your lil ones hun xxxxxxxxxxxx

That's terrible! Even at age 5! I'm thinking cbildren need more empathy. Hope ur boy finds friends that make him feel good about himself.

Yes kids are bad everywhere but the one friend I cut out of her life today is really needing to get professional help. I told her she needs to talk to her mom if she needs to talk and she flipped out

Proudmomma · April 2011

@yummymummy1 oh I know these two are not the best for her. Thank God she doesn't go to school with them anymore. The one that dates boys is just trying to fit in but I know she is savable. The other I cut her out today. I'm very picky about my daughter. I let her be friends with the one cause they only hang out here.

I think its important that you really watch who your kids hang out with.Friends will influence your kids more then anything. Even though I'm not religious I'm so happy my sons bestfriend is a good Mormon boy (they are 13 ) the age when everything changes. They mostly play video games and airsoft guns.And both try to get really good grades now cause they want in a good college.However my11 year olds bestfriend is a terror though I love him dearly. When they get together I feel like were on Viva la Bam!

Proudmomma · April 2011

@angieface I totally agree. She has a nice friend who is shy but she has been over a few times. Her father is protective like me so its nice to see a girl with morals. I have raised my daughter to be respectful and have morals and know right from wrong. She doesn't even know what sex really is yet. I have raised her with a Christian background. It was hard to let her best friend go but that child has snapped out of no where. Its really sad. I think today's society forces kids to grow up to fast. I want to keep my lil girl innocent as long as possible. I don't need her being a teen mom like I was and that's one of the reasons we are weeding out the bad before middle school.

@Proudmama
I wasn't a teen mom but it wasn't like it couldn't have happened. I was a a really bad teenager I drank, stole ,had sex,snuck out,did tons of drugs, smoked,always in trouble with the law and I was kicked out of school at 15, I thought I was so cool .I did go to college but I partied so hard i got kicked out of that too.I never really got to be a kid.I really regret that. I want my kids to have a better life then me, because of my past decisions my life has been pretty hard. One good thing though I'm pretty hip to everything its hard for my kids to get away with things like I did. What's really scarry is that kids know so much more and are doing all these bad things at younger ages.

Proudmomma · April 2011

@angieface exactly. I'm considered the cool mom but lol I'm not cool anymore in her ex friend's eyes cause I told her she needs to talk to her mom about her attitude. She is a sweet girl but is influenced by her older sisters

yummymummy1 · April 2011

I am glad that you have made such a decision. She does not need friends like that and I am sure she too will see this @proudmomma

luvbump · April 2011

I wonder the same thing sometimes. The other day I took my kids who are 3 and 4 to the duck pond and we had an old loaf of bread that we were feeding and this group of 7/8 years olds comes right to where we're sitting..none of their parents are in sight.. They were all speaking spanish so I couldnt understand what they were saying but they started picking up these large rocks and were throwing them at the ducks head.. WTF im no peta member but I have taught my kids not to be mean to animals..

what is up with kids these days????!!!!!
