'Kids are out of control... They're roaming thestreets. They're out late at night.

Quote 1

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt forauthority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of

exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of theirhouseholds. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They

contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at

the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers. Quote 2

Gordon Brown, former PM, 2008

Plato, Greek philosopher, 4thCentury BC
