Age limit for youth of today????

**sparks19** · 06-12-2007, 06:16 PM

I have seen a lot of "the youth of today" talk lately....

I just want to know what the age cut off is for the youth of today? When are you not considered a youth of today anymore? When are you considered a youth of yesterday? when are you considered just plain old?

what are the age requirements on this?

Your considered just plain "old" when you start saying phrases like "the youth of today"

I would say it is when you star saying "I remember when......"

in my eyes you stop being a youth when you live on your own.. so I became an adult when I was 18yrs old.

I would definitely agree with you if that "I remember when" is followed by "we had to walk 10 miles to school up hill both ways" lol

I remember when I was the "youth of today" and it seems like that was a long time ago so I must be just plain old, although I never denegrate the "youth of today" so maybe I am just plain old but young at heart?

That's a great picture.... it could only be better if the cat were waving it's cane in a threatening manner and wearing a nightgown and hot rollers

I think it is starts when people say things such as ....

Now a days I see kids sitting on their butts watching tv or playing video games on bright sunny days when they should be outside playing.

As soon as that nowadays creeps into your vocabulary...you're it!

My dad cannot use that line on me anylonger, cause I've been through that 4' of snow, going up hill thing lol ok the hills were GIANT snow hills.. I had to climb 3 of these massive snow hills to cross the street at my dads place in PEI!!! it was insane.. + I was wearing Jeans, a sweater, a ball cap & gloves. As it was warm weather to me, cause Ottawa has much colder weather

I think you are old when you start thinking, or worse, saying out loud something to the effect of: "I don't know what the heck is wrong with these kids today. This generation is headed to hell in a handbasket. Now, when WE were kids, OTOH ..."
