A few points of clarification.
I have no actual problem with cell phones in the Mall, I carry one myself and it can be a good tool when the need arises. I have no problem with someone calling to say they are going to be late or to tell thier S/O they love them. I have a problem with people speaking in earshot of a bunch of complete stangers about very private matters, it is just disrepectful to others and to the person being discussed.
If these young men had any idea where the "low" pants thing actually originated, it would stop very quickly. I cannot speak to this here in any detail as it would offend delicate ears, but if you guys want to know PM me and I will tell you. It is not for the faint of heart, and believe me though if any of you who have teenage boys knew, none of you would let them out of the house that way.
As for teenage girls trying to stuff themselves into something 5 sizes too small, well I blame a lot of things for that, including the women's fashion magazines who seem to think that it is appropriate for 15 year girls to look like little hookers trying to get a "trick" on the street corner. This is the time for parents to really be parents and show a little guidance. By all means you have the right to wear what you want, but I wish people could exercise a little restraint.
Skating is a fine activity, but not in a crowded mall. There are plenty of parks to engage in this activity in. Skating around is inconsiderate and dangerous behavior.
The heart of my rant is this. I am concerned when the future leaders of America and their parents exercise very poor judgement and lack of fore thought regarding their actions. Freedom is only good as self-discpline.

((Tim)))) I meant no disrespect to you or anyone.
I was very grateful my sons choice of wearing his pants to big only lasted a short time. ((please do not tell me how it came about
)))))
As far as the cell goes I do not ever take it in a mall. Mine will not work in one .
The skate boarding you are correct on that one. I worked very hard to try to get one in our town a skate board park so kids here would have a place to skate.
Young girls and fashion. ((your right about magizines and games showing that )))))That has been going since we were young. Sometimes it comes down to how much money a family may have too. The child may have gained weight and thats the only cloths they have left.
Remember when guys grew thier hair long, or elvis came out. I remember reading about it. The Beatles.
You are right thou these kids are our future leaders. My daughter got her cell phone my son was exposed to TB. That was when I got one. Other wise I may have never got one. We needed a way to reach each other. We use it respectfully I think.
We as adults imo need to show children with our kindness and respect to each other how to act. ALot of kids out there are great.
Your complaints are valid thou. I do not want to take that away from you .For that IM sorry. I hear what you are saying. There are some disrespectful things that happen out in the world and are annoying.
my best to you.
