The Blue Board

Where I live a lot of the grass cutting kids from 10 or so years ago started their own landscaping businesses and eventually end up with larger landscaping companies.

I see a lot of the younger generation putting the blame on their parents instead of taking responsibility for their own action.

Oh yeah, they thought they should be handed everything instead of working for it.

Laziness? Or because healthy food (for the most part, for most kids) tastes like shit?

Wow, I really don't even know what to say to this...

Please don't have any children anytime soon, kthxbai.

I mean. You were talking about kids, right? You think the majority of kids are going to choose a salad over pizza?

I'm going to say this because I like you tFT and I wholly agree with your point on principle,but you are sounding like an ass ITT.

I said up until a certain age. At a certain point in your life you realize what is healthy for you(hopefully before people weigh 250+) and can choose that salad over that pizza at least a couple times, which by that chart is clearly not happening.

People are more lazy now. That is the truth, were the past generations perfect, no. Are people going to be perfect parents now, no. Take what you got and better it.

I agree with this.

Parenting results show through your children and it is up to the parents to make sure they instill the right morals and characteristics into their children to better their futures.

However, all these kids that would rather sit inside on a computer and eat junk food when its a perfect sunny day and then wonder why they are fat are to blame for their own laziness, not their parents.

AT A CERTAIN POINT. Quit picking and choosing. Notice i did say until a certain point in a post above. Until a certain point you can't help it, but your parents don't raise you your entire life, do they?

A couple comments

When I was 12,13, etc mowing the grass for the neighbors was the easiest money you could get. On the opposite side of the spectrum, my dad always made me cut the backyard but he still won't ask me to cut the front yard when I'm home on breaks. That's his baby and he doesn't want anyone else to deal with it.

For the person who used the 16 hours a day working excuse, that's exactly what it is - an excuse. There's time for exercise if you want to. I've learned that in the last year since I've been running 40-50 miles a week. I used to make excuses that I didn't have time to go play basketball or whatever if I had a couple tests the next day, but by trying to get my miles in I've realized how easy it is to make time. You're never that busy that you can't get 30 minutes in a day and honestly the 5-6 mile runs I do help me with my focus on whatever I need to get done. I watch my roommate make excuses of why he can't go to the gym and than I proceed to watch him waste his time doing something unproductive.

EXACTLY. BUT BUT BUT....Excuses is all i see.
