It's getting pretty damn irritating to see all of these posts knocking my generation. What's the difference between taking a drug in the presence of your parents and elsewhere? Does supervision honestly make it any better? No, not really. I'm assuming you're grouping teenagers into "kids", which is used
throughout your post.
I'm 18. I have a job. I pay bills. I'm still the same as I was 10 years ago, and that's what makes life fun. Do remember, there are unintelligent people from all generations. Take a look at yourself for example.
