Think thats bad, its the girls that trip me up. I'm 32 and went over to a friends house, his sister was there with a girl i could have swore she was like 25 or 26. I was a little taken by her, and i had to ask my friend about her, come to find out the girl was lie 17 or 18 and his sisters boyfriends sister. I was like WHAT THE HELL!!!
Ever be driving down the road and notice a girl out of the corner of your eye. Well, actually more like her breasts and have to do a double take just to realize your staring at a 12 or 13 year old?

Bingo! Kids today are too pampered and spoon fed everything they see before them. They have no concept of the word earn. Most cannot think without a shiny screen in front of their eyes. I see this in the current generation with the interns at my work (18-23), kids that come in for toy testing 3-12 (I am a toy designer), friends/neighbors and even see it in my own family. I am going to veer a little off topic but give my two cents on what some others hit on with the large picture of this generation.
My family owns a bakery in NJ, we all grew up in there for the exception of my cousins who are 10-13 yrs young than my brother and I. They always did not have to work at the bakery as my Aunt would not allow it(Total BS!). Anyway there was a lot of physical labor that needed to be done like dead lifting 100lb Sugar bags off the pallets to carrying large wedding cakes down large banquet halls with stairways. Some wedding cakes are very big with some weight to them but we were expected to lift them after awhile, dropping them was not an option. My generation (30+) seemed to be more of a physical generation were weights, sports and outdoor activity was more prominent. (I think it was the last generation to be that way.) My 19 yr old cousin finally started working at the bakery and he is such a puss! He needs my Uncle to lift the cakes for them and he has to be told what to do every time with complete instructions on deliveries. He was a new age kid who played with too many video games and had too much computer time. It's pathetic watching him struggle with the cakes, back in the day my Father, Uncle & Brother would totally rag on you if you could not lift it just like a coach would push you to achieve goals. In other words they treated you like a guy and you were better for it as you had to get stronger and smarter. My Uncle went soft with his boys, it shows in them mentally & physically. My cousin cries like a baby when he car broke down. Most guys would get pissed and say F@%$ a thousand times as they kick the piece of shit. I can pick my teeth with his arms yet he is built like a weeble wobble and looks 14 instead of 19. He acts 12 instead of 19. He cannot even do a push up and is too emotional. Boys growing up today are too feminized. It's very true that you are a product of your environment. This generation is Pampered like children that act and look the part. I agree with the food but more on the drug side as there seems to be a pill to cure everything instead of sucking it up. Riddlin and other mental adjusting drugs are killing them. Just my opinion & experience on this matter. More power to the few who escaped that fate, you should be proud and help stop this madness with the upcoming youths and your own kids when you have them. On the height thing I am 6'5 and most of my friends are 6ft +, so most people look smaller to me so I cannot judge that as I am a Lurch.

I was almost 6 ft. tall when I was 13 so I'm kind of a bad judge of this but I have to agree that kids seem to be smaller nowadays? Must be something in the food?
