It's unsettling how kids are turning out nowadays

[Silent_cries]

So, I frequently play online games, fortnite, among us and roblox to name a few, and naturally I frequently come accross children when playing these games. Some as young as 8-9 yrs old. One thing I've noticed is that they seem to get meaner and meaner. More than often I find that they make fun of me or other random players for their own amusement and it's unsettling to say it the least. They're children! They're supposed to play and have fun, not mock other people! And yes, you could say they're just children being children, but if they're already like this at this young I don't dare to even imagine how they'll turn out as adults. I'm not saying that they'll all turn out badly, but I bet a lot of them will. Then again I can't blame them for growing up in such a shitty society to begin with. It really does say something about society, and it's quite chilling to say it the least.

They are seeking attention in the way they have copied from somewhere else.

 

[Silent_cries]

Yep...

…haven't online games always been like this?

 

[Silent_cries]

Maybe, idk, but kids are definitely getting meaner and more fucked up.

Kids can be cruel as well and having poor role models doesn't help. Also they have a certain anonymity online, and they take full advantage of it. Nobody knows what's really going on in their little minds. It's just a really shitty world right now, and maybe it is their only way to vent.

Kids have definitely gotten less respectful, I saw a kid at Walmart and he flipped me off for no reason. It's like common sense is rarer by the years.

Children have always been cruel to each other. In most cases, a good chunk of them will eventually grow out of that behaviour by adulthood.

In my experience kids have always been mean, particularly if someone appears different or vulnerable. The difference now is that social media gives them additional opportunities to practise it. Most humans will be as evil as they think society will allow. You only have to look at wpd (if you haven't, I really advise you don't) to see that.

I fail to see the correlation. Most people do not enjoy wpd (watch people die, I had to google it), and I'm not sure if those who do, do it because they are "evil".
On the contrary many seek out religion and other world views, imposing additional restrictions on themselves to feel good.

I grew up under quite bad circumstances, and in my experience kids are less mean nowadays. I don't think anyone got reliable statistics though.

I'm talking about the videos on wpd (again I advise people who've never seen it not to go there, it will damage you). People doing unspeakable things to other people while others look on, chatting and laughing. Mankind is evil deep down and only needs approval to show it
