Teen-agers are getting kind of lame

    From what I've seen lately, the amount their parents drink and drug, abstaining from that stuff IS rebelling.

    Disco fans need not apply, I take it.

    Did somebody say stand-up routines about airline food?

    Do teenagers exist these days? I haven't seen many out in the streets.

    Teens today have a higher % of micromanaged lemmings among them. their parents still feel bad about their own childhoods full of daydreaming and playing without goals and rewards.

    I do think it's important to keep them busy with whatever interests them -- sports, music, activities, whatever.

    Bored kids tend to hang with other bored kids (the others are busy doing things) and often decide to follow the worst ideas of the dumbest among them.

    Kids may be lame, but they are still OD'ing, getting thrown in jail, producing grandchildren you weren't expecting, etc.

    Just look for the boys wearing shorts and no jacket when it's 10 degrees out.

    While charging my iPhone battery the other day at the LA Auto Show, I had to sit and listen to a presentation about new spyware Chevy is offering on some models -- it's designed to allow parents to set the maximum speed and distance cars can go, and tracks their speed, acceleration, lane changing and the like, then downloads a daily report to the parents' phone so that they can then arrange an ass-kicking, I mean a conversation, with their child about their driving habits.

    Fuck me if my parents had this thing when I got my license at 15....

    That would involve me buying my teen a new car. And the odds of anything that advanced still working on a used Chevy are 1-in-never.
