(no title)

On Friday evening I decided to venture out, feeling a little more impulsive than usual I decided to join a friend and his mates who I didn’t know.
Managed to convince the mother to give me a lift into Swansea (I didn’t fancy driving and avoiding the booze this time) and I waited on the Kingsway for my friend Sam to arrive.
I avoided the planned meeting point due to an abundance of chavs lined up there (Outside Mcdonalds,need I say more?) so I lingered on the street corner outside somerfield. Sadly I wasn’t safe here either, as two female chavs (I will not assign them any humanity by calling them people) and their male friend (nicely decorated with scabs and bruises on his face and a huge scar across the back of his head) were arguing and wandering around there also.
It soon became apparent that one of these female creatures had paid a certain fellow some money for valium she did not receive. I worked this one out from the creature shouting down the phone ‘I wants my monies back,I wants my monies back,or my valium,ew fuckin’ ripped me off’.
The male creature then took over the phone call, telling the dealer that if he didn’t give the female her money back,or her valium,  ‘ew missus is fackin’ gettin it’. He also threatened to send his ‘boys’ up to ‘ave’ him. Rough translation would be ‘pummel’.
This whole situation brought back memories of my time in school. When I was 14 or so I got into the ‘goff’ phase, black became my favourite colour, metal became my religion and naturally, chavs became the enemy.
Looking back on it now, it was a pretty crappy time. I looked quite dreadful in those days, and my fashion choices were beyond questionable. I’m not surprised I was mocked, but it always amazed me how the ‘chavs’ could torment myself and my friends so much.
Most of the time it was funny, once my friend told some kid that he had the intellectual abilities of a goat, to which he replied ‘speak english ew goff’.
I once got asked if  my bedroom was a goth, how does that work? Also, some guy made fun of me for having black hair. My hair has never been black nor will it ever be.
My friends and I always figured all the tormenting was done out of jealousy. We were the ‘high flyers’ in school, managing to get the better grades even though we weren’t popular, and most abuse was rooted in envy no doubt, but it was still so unnecessary to put us down, even if it did make them feel better.
I would never walk down a street and shout abuse at someone for looking different, even if I did think they looked ridiculous. What is it that happened in this country to suddenly make that acceptable?
Is it a lack of responsible parents? Is it a lack of proper education? Can we blame it in on ‘gangsta rap’ and computer games?
Personally I feel the problem lies in everything being wrapped in cotton wool these days. Education is no longer about drumming information into pupils, it’s about helping people to understand everything. Back in the days when my parents were in school, if you didn’t learn something properly, you were punished. These days, if you struggle, you are babied and given extra support. You are told that it’s okay to fall behind, and motivation to carry on is lost.
Although I wouldn’t say I fell behind, I found that modern methods of education made me complacent and lazy. It was all too easy to learn everything using a method instead of actually drumming facts into my brain.
If I sat a GCSE exam now there’s a good chance I would fail, do I really remember facts about biology? God no. My mum and dad however remember everything because if they didn’t, at the they would not have been told ”aww, never mind, we’ll get you a tutor”
Teachers no longer have the power to enforce discipline. Classrooms are over run with kids who don’t respect teachers or anyone else but demand respect for themselves without earning it.
I can’t quite put my finger on what it is that’s made our generation so dreadful, maybe we take things for granted because life is too easy now (for young people,anyway). Parents are too set on giving kids what they didn’t have when they were younger, and this (in a lot of cases) has resulted in spoiled kids.
I’ve never understood it myself. In terms of privelages I guess I’ve been spoiled, my mum always did everything for me, my parents always kept me financially stable and taught me to do so myself. I’ve never needed for anything and I’ve always been close to my family, that’s why I’ve never understood teenagers who spend every night going out drinking, smashing things up, getting pregnant and then giving their poor parents an earful for no reason.
Why don’t the government do something about this? The focus seems to be put on new methods of education instead of better discipline and more punishment. Anyone who plays up on the streets or vandalises schools should be sent to some sort of boot camp, not given a slap on the wrist and a warning.
Gang criminals aren’t even dealt with anymore, the village next to mine has it’s own ‘mafia’ and the town nearby has a whole stream of people (the name of the gang slips my mind) ready to dispose of anyone who ‘disrespects’ anyone they like.
Some kids from my old school recently burned down part of the local church, and got away with it because everyone knew who it was, but nobody was willing to come forward with evidence.
KICK THE SHIT OUT OF THEM, THEN BACK INTO THEM, THEN OUT OF THEM AGAIN.

I can’t think of any more to add yet. I might eventually. The end.
