It is a real shame what the youth of today has come to...

I'm sure it did happen years ago and like someone said...we just didn't have the internet back then.

I know this isn't to the level we're speaking here but this happened in my family recently:

the day after our wedding (so 2 weeks tomorrow) there were still 25 or so people around our summer place, camping and extending their vaca.

Supper was being served and there was a huge variety...meatballs, lasagna, turkey, ham, salads, fish, hamburgers and hot dogs and plenty of everything. My 11 year old niece wanted to go 5 miles down the road to the take out place for chicken fingers. Her mother, exhausted from the busy week, told her no, there was plenty available..to just have what's made.

My niece kept it up and hounded her parents and grandparents, and they all agreed, there was enough available, she didn't need to go anywhere else...well, she flipped. She told everyone they were fucking idiots, she hated them, they all were so mean to here, and told her grandmother (who is beyond good to these kids) that she's a fucking dummy and she fucking hates her and shoved her and stomped out (my niece was cursing like that).

She was in her room for the night and her parents left early the next morning.

The grandparents (my parents in law) live down the street and get the kids off to school in the mornings, make breakfast for them, have lunch ready, etc. When my niece arrived, they told her she wasn't allowed in until she apologized....she lost it again and said she didn't owe anyone an apology. It's 2 weeks now and she STILL hasn't said sorry and she's still not allowed in her grandparents' house.

It's becoming a huge family issue, everyone is taking sides and discussing it in great detail and arguments are developing among everyone...some say it should just blow over and some say she should be made apologize, and she's sitting back laughing thinking she's going to get her way - which, sadly, she probably will.

THAT is a huge lack of respect and if it does just "blow over" she'll only get worse, knowing she can get away with things like this. I don't think she's the only kid 'out there' these days that behaves this way and THAT is why people like this bus driver and other 'strangers' get the harassment they do...it's not stopped at home, so they feel they are allowed to behave this shitty way.

thaaaat is not lack of respect alone, its likely got to do with her parents always giving in.... from what you posted she needs a good ol ass whoopin' Then again it is always easier to judge and try to parent someone else's kids, but if the display you described normal basis, someone needs to set her straight lol

Lala n Addie are somewhat bratty at times, but god forbid they ever act like that in public! Ive no problem with setting the law down but something like this would yield them a court-martial from dad... lol

Actually it would be nice to hole the parents accountable.

i would say there is a 90% chance the parent will have no consequences over this... and its a huge /facepalm on the schools part.

Anothe thing that has been bothering, wtf is the bus driver doing in the middle of all this?

 

[darkcgi]

that makes me so mad

 

[Mercury]

I get the sense the people in charge (monitor and bus driver) have been forced to determine the kids on the bus are unruly and there's nothing you can do but try to get through it.

This happens a lot in life- people stop trying to fight what seems to be a losing battle.
And the assholes wins.

Agreed

That was one of my questions..

 

[Panacea]

I assume they hired a monitor in an effort to keep the bus driver from having to lay the smackdown whilst driving
We never had a bus monitor when I was in school...the bus driver would just stop and scream at us :24:

I wonder where the monitor was sitting on the bus. If she was within earshot of the driver then the driver should be fired. That bus was out of control and the driver should have called in to dispatch and said he was pulling over and not moving until somebody came to straighten out the little shit heads. In the old day.... yeah I going with there.... the driver would have kicked all the little shits off the bus and let them fend for themselves. But then we now have the nanny state that would hold the driver accountable for doing that.

That is what I remember! The bus drivers were scary individuals! LOL!
