[Hanamaru Kunikida]

This other one is about a kid who hired a hit man to kill his parents.

I don't believe that "weird" is the right word we are looking for. I think that DELUSIONAL and PSYCHOTIC better fit the descriptions...

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

EDIT:I think I'm gonna use one of the words you given.

[Strawberry Kisses]

Now that is dumb,unbelievable,stupid and according to erised lily weird.

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

I just noticed those articles are way old...o.O very sorry, guys. But at least we can see how stupid can kids get. o.O

[Datenshi]

Kids have been plotting to kill their parents since time began. Children who have not yet tasted the metaphorical lash of formal education are totally egoistical creatures. It's simply the case that they didn't have the resources or the imagination at that time.

[Mmmmmmmmmm]

We learn it from somewhere. And those are just the minority you hear about. The majority of us have common sense. Examples: Myself, Memento Mori, Regiao Hyuhia

[Flah Blah]

It's not that they're getting weirder, the events just get more publicized.

[october breath]

I don't trurely believe that it's the childs fault. Yeah maybe the way they were born and certain traits already being in their genes. But NO MATTER what you do, a child will always become scarred by their parents. Children are like pasteen glass, they are fragile, they are easily smudged, and they are easily shattered to the point where you can't "fix" them.

aahahahah! that is some funny stuff...
and i thought my generation was dumb... i guess the next is even worse

16 year-old Cory Ryder was grounded from playing his PlayStation or watching TV for weeks due to his inability to do basic things like not steal, go

Question is,was it a PlayStation 1 2 or 3.

As for the kidnap kid.What an idiot.He valued himself at 1,400$.

Yes, this is far worse than say .. the Romans, who would often attempt to kill a parent, or both, for political gain. Not saying this isn't bad but uh ... if kids these days are delusional or psychotic, then kids a few milennia ago must have been downright insane.

Not really, because those acts offered real and valuable results. The chance to get a Wii or play video games again pales in comparison. Plus, the Roman plots were often well thought out, while these were just ridiculous.

[Taikyo]

Cory Ryder = psychotic
He needs to be in a mental hospital. D:

Chines kid = Brat
A big one too. Just can't have it their way, and they resort to doing these things.

I guess both are like that, but that Cory kid has a bigger problem. >3>; He might be a serial murder if he ain't cared for soon. <-- seriously.

Glad people know the difference between Psychotic and a psychopath. :3

If you are delusional and/or psychotic, then you are not acting rationally. Both those acts are rational (if immoral), therefore the kids are neither delusional, nor psychotic.

[Happi Giraffe!]

oy, kids are so stupid sometimes...

[Eris]

That's not stupid. I mean, sure, they failed, but it's pretty clever to kidnap yourself. That's entrepreneurship!

[Happi Giraffe!]

That's not stupid. I mean, sure, they failed, but it's pretty clever to kidnap yourself. That's entrepreneurship!

well, i didnt literally mean stupid. i just meant that they weren't doing very good things, and that that was what was not smart.

i get your point about the kidnapping thing, though.

[GeneralKori]

i have obviously never plotted to kill my parents.... well at least not both of them

[███]

I refuse to believe any source that doesn't know how to spell correctly.

[Jake-Sama]

It is about time kids get smart and ry to get a head in the world. JK
This is one hell ( can I say hell? ) of a story.

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

Thank you for pointing out my error, if you mean me, of course.

But also, the links are right there.

[rikumi]

I agree....O_O Kids nowadays are not just getting PSYCHOTIC They're totally insane. Like what I've heard from i-dun-remember-who, a teen punched his parents just because he couldn't get a new computer O_O I feel sick listening to this. And another one: A kid threw a table at his teacher and stomped out of the classroom, leaving the teacher wearing her own blood (of course later on the other students helped the teacher and punishment was sentenced on the kid) O_O*sweats* ...I mean, WHAT?! =_= They just don't seem to have consideration at all...not even thinking before taking any actions.
P.S. I'm literally a teenager too, and I was in a gang before, but now I've turned a new leaf and I totally do not approve of this kinda situation.

[Dark Wolf 09]

Loooooooool kids are retarded! I swear to god they're! I didn't have all that stuff growing up, neither did I have parents, but still THATS stupid on how kids (generation) these days can treat other elders, it sickens me. Plus, I just want to say retarded alot to that one kid, and slap, punch, kick. Theee craaaaap out of the both kids.

[Wio]

If you are delusional and/or psychotic, then you are not acting rationally. Both those acts are rational (if immoral), therefore the kids are neither delusional, nor psychotic.

They weren't acting rationally though.

Killing your parents isn't going to get you Playstation privileges, nor would it be rational as revenge

With holding yourself ransom... how do you explain where you got the Wii? It would be hell of a lot easier just to steal one.
