# so, so right
if some of our youngsters weren't so busy whining, mugging, taunting and intimdating people, going on about how life is so bad to them,
they could actually graft a bit and start earning themselves out of the hole they 'think' they're in.

Not just about the money, but having a relatively stable force in your life does tend to mean the rest of it falls into place quite nicely

Is he bitter? Twisted? Full of hate and destructive rage? Is he fuck, he's already talking about getting back on the horse and having a better time of it tomorrow. As opposed to kicking the shit out of a phone box.

# It's an attitude and spirit which I wish the majority here still had :)
having to teach some of the 'up-&-coming' construction industry's finest, it does depress me somewhat.

The 16-20 year olds I teach are seriously driving me towards quitting the part time lecturing altogether. There is an air of 'can't be arsed' among all of them - even the bright ones.
