We're kind of outnumbering the older people in this thread right now
.
I'm 18 and agree with everyone. These people have no respect for themselves or anyone else. As ploppysirploppy says, when im around older people or even just people I don't know, I watch what I say, because I care what peoples impressions of me are, I don't want them to get a bad impression, but also because I know it's intimidating.
So many times i've decided to walk accross the road, or walk another way, to avoid people, because these people JUST DONT CARE.. i've known people get beat up for no reason, they don't know the person, they havn't even been mugged, just beaten up for the pleasure of the scum.
I personaly don't think it's down to poverty, there are loads of people like this and its not an exclusive club for people from poorer backgrounds. I think it's solely down to upbringing. If your parents swear a lot around you or at you, you in turn use those words around others. If theres no punishment for beating someone up, for using inappropriate language around people whome don't want to hear it, for having no respect, then how are they ment to learn any?
