Teenagers these days

Let's start by talking about my brother.

It's 4:17AM now, and he just came home. With half a dozen of Heineken, if that's how you'd spell it. He's only 16 this year, mind you. Of late, he's been coming back home at such unearthly hours, my mom's utterly upset and given up completely (maybe not yet) on him. But she's just getting that minimal assurance that at least he comes home.

He's spending money as though my dad owns the MAS, or something. Yet my mom still worries about him not having enough to spend, or to eat, told me repeatedly to transfer $20 to him just this afternoon. Well, he climbs school's gate, shouted at his principal, ran away from school and whatnot. Oh, yes he should be under probation from the police soon. He smokes and drinks and plays pool, with this bunch of, I'd call them the good-for-nothing friends.

Now now, that reminds me of Boyfriend's sister. Similar, but not the same. But still similar, along those lines of a rebelling teenager. Fights, cigarettes, alcohols, and of cos, that bunch of society's disgrace whom they call good friends. This further triggers my memory, and reminded me of Donkey's brother. Similarly, of that same calibre, not going to school, rebels elders, fights, and making people worried.

When i take a trip down memory lane, I do not remember myself being rebellious to such extent of our siblings today. I've done the worst, or so i thought. Push this kid down the stairs, shouted and threatened my Math teacher, getting into bitch fights and such. But I've never abused alcohol, I've never touched cigarettes, I've aboded by school rules (breaking a few but not at the expense of my reputation at school) I've made friends with the worst of society's disgrace, but I've never acted like they did, I've always stood to what I believe even though I do as i like.

Looking at my friends, I realised none of them are like any of our siblings. This really set me thinking, is it because of this crazy society we live in today? The over commercialised society, and what capitalism did to the younger generations? I'm just bewildered by how our siblings are so much different from us, despite the 3 or 4 years age gap in between. If our siblings are like this, if these is a trend, and if this is gonna get worst generation by generation, i dare not imagine how our kids will be like. I dare not imagine, at all.

Okay I'm going to bed now. Ta-ta!

P/S This, I reckoned, could be a globalised behavior amongst teenager of the 21st century.
