That's the thing. They are all from our generation. The current generation is extremely patchy. I mean on one we have students who are extremely respectful and on the other side we have kids like that boy...

OH MY GOD!!!!!

Just look at me. I am talking like 80 year old lady. Talk about generation gap!!!!😲

😆
These days 5 years is a generation gap!

People here have a lot of problems. Yes, westerners are rude to their elders, but their elders aren't much better. The mentality here is that if you have a kid, you only support them until they're eighteen. After that, you kick them out of your house. When the parents grow old, their children pay them back by throwing them into a nursing/care home. That's all because the parents literally got rid of them at eighteen. It works both ways. It's a real problem.

Maybe that's why more and more people go into depression these day. Because they don't have a support system.
They are lonely and try to make up for it by having a boyfriend or a girlfriend so that they have someone to call their own. And physical relationships always come with a lot of baggage which they aren't able to carry.
It's almost like a vicious cycle.

1 in 4 people in the UK have depression. It's a fact.
