[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ atrocities like this happen everywhere I am sorry to say, and that's not a reflection of the norm of teens and kids in any part of the world.

I grew up partly in the UK and partly on the East Coast here in the US. There were plenty of articulate, well mannered kids in my MS and HS. And there were the kids who got into fights in the corridor and got suspended. In the same way those kids existed in the UK. There were brats then as there are now, some 30 years later.

The difference I see between then and now are the kids who are raised mostly by "help". They don't learn to talk to adults in the same way. Many of them ignore parents at play dates and parties because they haven't been around adults other than those who "serve" them and as such, they are dismissive and don't engage. Its their loss and a loss for their parents who encourage such behaviors. I've seen this more on the West coast than the East I'd like to add...[/quote]

Understand that there is little difference between europe amd america. America always tries to emulate europe so both cultures are mixed demographically and both are rich and rude. Was there not a long ass thread about rude europeans on here? Now when we talk about old fashioned developing countries that is different. The difference i saw was that even with no gun control at all there are no school shootings or adults being talked down or bitch slapped left and right. Do not compare to europe. One and the same to the us.
