They beat people up and post the video tapes of it on youtube or elsewhere on the Web.

They bully fellow kids either in person or in cyberspace.

Think of something good that kids could do, then picture the opposite.

Bingo.

Lie, cheat, steal, bully… same basic things as kids always have done, except sometimes with different tools.

Steal their parents’ credit card number and buy ITunes…. tunes? videos online.
Have some forms of sex underneath the bleechers during football. Or is it bleachers?
Take a piece of jewelry from mom to give to their girlfriend. Or to pawn.
Take tranquilizers from their parents to get high.

I made a video out of boredom when I was 12 when I was bored. Ma ‘n’ Pa consented to me putting it on the YouTubes.

Someone in my 7th grade class at the time spammed the comments with potent language and references to me I don’t like to be reminded of.

I didn’t see those comments until a couple weeks ago, so it makes no difference now. It’s still amazing how hateful he/she was to me, though.

@Likeradar has a good answer. “Different tools” meaning the internet and cell phones, mainly.

mindful's avatar

@chocolateRegions Yeah I have seen the kids taking pictures with cell phones. If that happened to me Id take that cell phone and smash it…maybe in their faces.

They listen to really shitty pop music….it’s horrible.

I’ve also noticed a significant number of boys wearing girls pants….mass gender confusion or something, idk, but someone should tell these boys that skinny jeans + very skinny legs, isn’t always the best combination.

TheyYhey Go around seagulling people.

They act loud and obnoxious in hopes of attracting attention.

They act like morons and post videos of themselves doing stupid things on YouTube.

They get themselves in trouble with the law because they think they’re invincible and no harm can be done to them.

They “idol worship” and follow trends too much instead of following their own paths in life and being truly individualistic. They are media driven rather than creatively driven.

Your question refers to kids in school. The worst offenders are kids who are not in school.

In keeping with the actual question: lie, cheat, steal, rape, kill.

@zzzpatzzz What is seagulling people?

@cheebdragon I think it is part of the skater fashion

@YARNLADY True, however extensive harassment or “bullying” in school school can lead to scars for a good number of years or life. Its nothing to be taken lightly. Also, rape happens like you stated.
Thank you for the answers evry1

@mindful I’ve realized that fashion makes people stupid, a perfect example of that would be parachute pants, or huge shoulder pads for women.

I am so happy that camera/video phones were just getting popular 2–3 years after my teenage years….All the stupid shit I did back in the day can’t be proven! Muah hahaha

@mindful I don’t want to say if you want to know google it.

I’m so glad I’m smarter than all that!

XxSHYxxGUYxX's avatar

drugs (meth, cocaine, marijuana, etc.), cheating, lying, stealing (pretty common)

Being more interested in instant gratification than delayed gratification.

cheebdragon's avatar

@mattbrowne well, yeah, but who wants to wait around?

mattbrowne's avatar

@cheebdragon – Smart kids do. And when they are 30 they got 5 job offers to choose from. Instead of having to compete with 5 others for 1 job.

cheebdragon's avatar

@mattbrowne hey now….they say its very rewarding to be a medical assistant…and in just 6–9 months, you can be one too!.~

college- destruction of property
high school- unprotected sex, they don’t think of the consequences
middle school- smoking pot, save that til college
