KIDS THESE DAYS
(AND OTHER LIES)
"The world is passing through troublous times. The
young people
of
today
think of nothing but themselves.
They have
no reverence for
parents
or old age. They are impatient of all restraint. They talk as
if
they
knew everything
, and what passes for wisdom with us is
foolishness
with them. As for the girls, they are forward, immodest
and unladylike in speech, behavior and dress."
Peter the Hermit, 13th Century ADSlide7
KIDS THESE DAYS
(AND OTHER LIES)
"The children now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for
authority
, they show disrespect to their elders.... They no longer
rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents,
chatter
before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their
legs
, and are tyrants over their teachers."
Socrates, 5th century BCSlide8
KIDS THESE DAYS

"What is happening to our young people? They disrespect their elders,
they
disobey their parents. They ignore the law.
They
riot in the streets inflamed with wild notions.
Their
morals are decaying. What is to become of them?"
Plato,5th century BC Slide9
KIDS THESE DAYS
(AND OTHER LIES)
"I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on
frivolous
youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond
words
... When I was young, we were taught to be discreet and
respectful
of elders, but the present youth are
exceedingly disrespectful
and impatient of restraint"
Hesiod, 8th century BCSlide10

THE
Adolescent
Brain
“The
regions within the limbic system, have been found to be hypersensitive to the rewarding feeling of risk-taking in adolescents compared with adults, and at the very same time, the prefrontal cortex
,
which stops us taking excessive risks, is still very much in development in adolescents
.”
