Isn't it sad kids are growing up so fast these days?

My little cousins are more interested in ipads, iphones, facebook and all that other bs… When they should be playing with dolls, pollypocket, toy cars… You know real toys, the stuff we had in the 90s.

Added (1). Hank Scorpio calm down… You seem angry

Added (2). Chandler bing - i don't think thats true… My grandma would not agree with you.

That is not growing up that is their pollypockets and toy cars

Parents can control that, you know.

These days?
Hun, 100 years ago it was normal for you to be married at 12-13 years old, and start a family. It still is in a lot of places.

Yes, it is sad. But note that they aren't growing up fast all over the world, just in our over sexualised/consumerist society of the west.

Well who is buying them these ipads and stuff? I'm gonna guess their parents? It's not their fault they're being RAISED this way

I know! :/ I see younger kids at my neighbourhood daycare with iPhones! I used to make crafts, play with toys, go outside, play with the dogs… Now it's all electronic stuff…

Always been the same.

We should herd them all onto an island somewhere.

It's not the toys I'm worried about.

So, being interested in ipads, iphones and facebook is considered "growing up"? Hmm…

But to answer your question, no, it's not sad that kids are growing up too fast these days because… We're not growing up any faster than previous generations before us in the first place.

Yeah, specially english kids.

Yes kids were different back in the 90s toys today are nothing like they in the 90s.

Yes, kids 13, are talking sex
13, should be riding bikes, but because of movies and TV
they want to grow up fast
it amazes me, how girls, in order to be popular, do sexual things

I remember still playing down the garden at the age of 12 with my sister, and we were playing on scooters, and making our own see saw out of a plank of wood, and an empty oil drum.

Yes but none can pay bills

With the advent of technology, this had to happen. And every generation says that about the next generation. We'll say this about our kids generation and so on.

SO sad
we used to play with REAL toys not smartphones
i love my childhood
wish to return kid again

Maybe the adults should buy their kids these things. Or maybe the adults shouldn't have even made these things in the first place if they had these worries.

Yes it isn't right

I played video games since I was like 2 or 3. I was born in 96.It's really not too different than it is now.

I love it when people act like the 90s were the good old days, as if video games and other technology didn't exist back then. I'm going to assume you think modern music and TV sucks compared to what you grew up with.

If you hate the modern generation, you should blame the older generations that raised them to be that way. It's not like kids these days designed, marketed, sold all that modern tech.

"i don't think thats true… My grandma would not agree with you."

Every generation complains about the following ones, including your grandmother's

Yes too fast
