People say things that remind us that things seem new, but are just the same as before...

Our youths love luxury.

They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders, and love to chat in place of exercise.

Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their household.

They no longer rise when their elders enter the room.

They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up their food, and tyrannize their teachers.”




— Socrates, Greek philosopher and teacher (470-399 B.C.)

I hate having to fill out a form just to post a comment, but I have had to add that thing where you have to type in the letters that you see in the graphic to be able to post a comment, because I was getting nasty spam stuff. You can still choose anonymous.

If you have relevant links or resources, please put them in the comments and I will certainly check them out!
