In general (except where parents actually bothered to raised their kids with even an inch of morals) that is the most self-centred generation. They don't respect other people's lives (king hits and punch ups), they don't respect the feelings of others (cyber bullying and some atricious comments on social networking), they don't respect other people's property (Mrs Greenie's car), they want something they take it (haven't we all had stuff we've worked hard to pay for stolen at some point), they tell their bosses they have no right to tell them they can't wear baseball caps backwards when dealing with customers or have a million piercings because it breaches their human rights (and again no mention of their responsibilities) and they think the world owes them a living.
Climbing down off my soapbox now.
