Telling Someone Elses Kids to Be Quiet

[kinboshi]

you cant fight 10 teenagers, no one can, especially whilst in charge of minors, it's just not happening.

I'm with bolty on this one.  You'd be mad to attempt to take on 10+ tooled up 15 year olds.

I was already of the bus when he went to look at the damage, no one was hurt I got hit with a bit of glass but only a little cut, now all those people that were happy earlier in this thread that we could not even tell kids of, ehat are your opinions, what would you do if you were on the bus with your kids and they got a little cut?

you can't compare little kids being a bit naughty/annoying with teenagers causing criminal damage and throwing rocks at people.

I would imagine that the kids who get away with annoying people on buses without being made to stop turn into teenagers who throw rocks at buses without fear of punishment.

Greatest comeback ever.

I don't think a stranger stepping in and telling little kids to behave  is going to make any difference to how those kids behave when they are older (and I have to say I think it's a heck of a leap to assume that those children will later be throwing rocks at people).  In a group of 10 15 year olds, peer pressure is most likely the main cause.  Yes, the ringleaders might have not been properly taught right from wrong as kids, but that's down to their parents/schooling etc.  I can't see that a stranger on the bus telling a small child to behave when their parent is not keeping them in line is going to have any significant impact on how they behave years down the line.

As for the bus incident, what i'd like to do, and what I would do are poles apart...

But if noone tells them to behave how will they learn? If more strangers told kids to behave when they were misbehaving maybe they'd get the message that society expects you to behave properly?

As a member of society you are directly responsible for how society progresses. It is pointless and futile moaning about any anti-social behaviour if as a member of society you turn a blind eye to the direction it is travelling in.

Society is no worse or better than it has been in the past.  We've moved past the stage of religious lunatics indulging in mass murder but thats about it.

I'm not suggesting society is travelling in any particular direction. Only that if eg we want to live in a clean street then you. me, and everyone else living in that street should pull up litter louts. If we don't then ok, but then moaning about the litter problem is simply wtf. As members of society we are largely responsible for social etiquette and the enforcement of it.
