Is it just me to notice that people don't care about each other as they used to,like in 70 when hippies ruled and 80's...I don't know much about that age,but from what I've heard it was age of peace and happiness.Now,in the present people are just going fast in their lives not caring for the world environment and people.It is really sad to know that people wont help you even if you're screaming for help,like they don't hear you just going forward in their life never turning their head to make justice...

I wish that we,young people who are left on the world to live it for a long time can do something about it 'cause obviously older people forgot how it was in the 70's and 80',how families were all together,how people didn't fight for stupid things and many more things that in todays world exists.

Do you think that we can do something about it?
Change the world?
Make other people care for others?
Teach them love and respect others not depending on their religion,sexual orientation,skin color,nationality or looks?

Or we're left alone to survive in this cruel world facing people full of hate,arrogant and careless??

Sorry if I missed the forum,I'm kind of noobish

Hm.
I think you're right about the people being jerks thing. I'm always noticing other people (and even myself) just ignoring people when they need your help. If some kid drops his books in the hallway, no one stops to help him. They just step over him. I think that it's really sad that people don't care about each other. I have no idea about what life was like in the 70's and 80's (I'm only 14) so people could've been jerks to each other back then as well. I'm not really sure there's a whole lot we can do about it, besides just trying to be nice to everyone and to help people out whenever we can.

Yes,you are right about how people act..
I do not really believe however we can change anything much though.
We can not untie the threads of fate that are already woven.
We are destined to face defeat from our own ignorance and
selfishness.

Sad really..

Agreed.
And I think it's hard, but not impossible to change the world. It's all up to us.
You can't do anything for the whole world, but you can always do something for your own little world around you.
Smile at the next person you meet at the street, give someone in school a compliment, help someone. Small things that maybe will make someone's day.

If everybody did that, maybe at least we could change something.
But I don't know.

people have always been like this and will never change. its the selfish nature of humanity.

try to make a change, if that is what makes you feel better, but in the end, you are just being selfish. Everything you do is selfish, you cant change that, you might try to tell yourself that you are helping others, but the truth is you do it because it makes you feel good.

Agreed.

But very few people do things to make OTHERS feel better, not caring about themselves. Such people are so rare to find nowadays. Consider yourself lucky if you know somebody like that.

hm...
KittensKill and Nitendo i guess you're right about it..
But I do help people,and I'm pretty sure it makes them feel better,
so what if it makes me feel better too?
I know it's kind of selfish,but I don't think that
there are persons in this world who don't do it like that.
I just love helping people,'cause I help them,and myself feel good.
I don't see nothing wrong about it,
I at least,care for the small things in the world,
unlike most of the people.

we all express caring and love in the way we learned it. in this current age in history, time is critical and we all live in a dog eat dog environment.. i dont wanna love someone that is prolly out to just "eat me"..theres lots of tough love..its like love-hate around here in my town.. i've lived next to the same neighbors for a while now, dont really know them.. its just not practical to be like a jehovahs witness with ur love.. ur asking to get stomped on take it from me.. but i take a lickin keep tickin

every millennium has its trends,people,styles,and changes
you have to learn to adjust with it or be your own

I don't think I can adjust to something that is bad.
Its wrong to act like that,it is wrong to have prejudice
and unknown hate towards people who are different then us.
I rather be in few of them who will love then just "adjust" to it and let it be.
It is really stupid not to fight it,I must say.

I think I must be living in a different world then all of you. When a kid drops their books in the hall, someone helps them. A couple days ago a girl in my grade had her period and didn't notice but everyone else did, and no one was mean. Even the guys were sympathetic.

All the charity programs this world has, all the wars that have happened to HELP other people. Almost all the wars America and it's allies have had in the last century have been helping other countries from themselves or others.

Do you know how many people volunteered to help rebuild New Orleans? Thousands

Sometimes people seem bad, but everyone is a little bit good at heart.


And the 70's and 80's were absolutely no different from it is now. Plus the Hippies were in the 60's. And it was no different then either.

I never said you HAD to, and its not bad to adjust.Yes people can be prejudice and yes people can
hate on people they dont know.
but guess what thats life. Hate it or love it. Thats how things work in some areas.
No matter how much you fight something like this, you can not win the battle
because too few people have such thinking as to change themselves for someone else

I can only think of one phrase for all of this:

We're only human.

We make mistakes, we try to fix them, or other people's mistakes. Kids going at it at such a young age have been going on for a long time. I don't know about bragging about it, but when we're proud of something we tend to show it off, even if it's something not everyone is proud of... And this is only a scratch at the surface, people have plenty of reasons to do the things they do. It is unfortunate though... What may seem like something good to you might not be seen as the same way by someone else.

And it's true, people are trying to make the world a better place, it just seems that there are more people doing bad things than there are people doing good things...
