I read an article in the paper recently about school girls
who have camped outside a London hotel so they can get a glimpse of Justin
Bieber. Now I know I’m a bit too old to appreciate the lure of this 18 year old
pop star but surely the parents of these children should be making sure they
are in school?
The girls interviewed ranged from 11 to 16 and some admitted
to missing revision for their GCSE’s as seeing Mr Bieber was more important.
This article coupled with another about a company that employed 7 benefit
claimants that didn’t turn up to their first day of work, got me thinking.
What will this country be like in 15-20 years time when
these people are part of the generation running our country? We’re supposedly
in another recession but I can’t help thinking that our leniency on the younger
generations makes the situation worse.......comparing my parents upbringing to
today the gulf is massive.
