When I was that age, me and my cousin would be bouncing around the backseat, no seatbelt or anything.

Also, when I was their age, my buddies and I would always be out until well after midnight riding our bikes.  On top of that, we always rode our bikes down my driveway where there was this big hillside at the end.  And if you didn't brake in time, you'd tumble down.

Now the kids in my neighborhood get called inside at like 9:00 p.m., and there's a fence in front of the hillside.  :p

Bottom line, people are a lot more concerned about safety now than they were 10 years ago.

10 years...LMAO, you make it sound as if you've had a lifetime worth of knowledge.

Kids these days are growing up to be fucking pussies. Hell the elementary school by me is thinking of banning tag because its "violent" and puts larger/slower kids at a disadvantage. What the fuck.

---

A perfect example, because I was fat, and had asthma.  I was it 99% of every game of tag.  But it built character.

kids in my city are getting pregnant in middle school, doing drugs in elementary, and shit like that. people need to be more protective of their kids.

or kids in your city need to stop being so fucking retarded?
protective parents often lead to kids doing stupid shit anyway to 'prove the parents wrong'.
