Boys acting like men - men acting like boys

men sign

Hasn’t the world changed in such a short period of time?  To think that in the 1940’s boys as young as fourteen were lying about their age to sign up to fight in the war.  They had to act like men even though they were really just boys.  They faced horrors we can’t even imagine! Those who survived came back to raise families in their twenties and worked to support the whole family.  Now in the year 2008 men in their twenties stumble through life acting like boys.  Game consoles in pockets, skateboards in hand, no families of their own and hand fulls of cash to spend on nothing more than themselves and entertainment.  Of course this is a generalisation because there are family men out there in their twenties but it’s a rare sight indeed.  What I want to know is,  WHY have things changed so drastically?

  1. You’ve hit the nail neatly on the head. I think a lot of the problem has to do with the video games themselves. Why live a real life when you can play one instead. Restart as needed. It’s pathetic really.
