Getting sick of people who thinks all kids and or teens are rotten

[wolftracks]

My kids were good teens and my grandkids are too. They stay busy, work real jobs and stay out of trouble.

I've never grown up, so I'm still a teen.

Just remember. It could be worse. You could be my age.

Best revenge: start a conversation about how horrible "old people" (AKA, everyone over 25) are... it always works for me!

Ok,, I had an experience with this today!! I thought about this thread, and I got upset at someone. I was in the cashier line at a large store and right behind me were two teens, 16 and 18 I found out after I asked,,,, The two men behind them who appeared to be in their late 40s to early 50s started in on their piercings,, and their plug earrings,, and they weren't even trying to be discreet, they were a couple of big bullies! I waited to see if the kids would say anything, one of them looked like she was about to cry and I had enough. I turned around and told them to go in front of me, and then I confronted the two *(^*^ men! The nice transcript went something like this: "Are you proud of yourself? Were you raised to be a _____ bully or did you really have to work at it to get this good at it? You two are nothing more than a couple of over sized bullies picking on a two little girls because you don't like the way they look! I'm sure in the 70's you two were really upstanding clean cut young men weren't you??? Huh?? Weren't you????" And of course being the shy and quiet person I am I didn't stop there. I unloaded all over those two and told them they needed to grow up and get over themselves and if they wanted to pick on someone they needed to pick on someone their own size and suggested they might want to take me on. The babbled something at me and decided they really did forget something and they needed to go find it so they left the line and went elsewhere. Several people applauded, a few looked at me like I am a lunatic (close), but the kids both hugged me and thanked me for sticking up for them.
Those two middle-aged bullies knew very well those two young ladies wouldn't stand up against them, I hope they think twice before they do that again and they better hope there isn't a teacher around that has a zero tolerance for bullies of any age.


ETA: P.S. 25 ain't old!
