You could hear exactly the same quote 50 years ago... Probably 500 & 5000 years ago, too. Lots of people (exception: the shut-in, the religious,...) go through a wild phase when they are young. Most end up fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was not everywhere, of course. Though some tribes got off on psychedelic mushrooms, certain spices etc... Alcohol abuse was a big problem in cities in medieval and early modern times, when, due to a lack of clean drinking water, people (even children) drank beer. Lots of reports of bar room brawls that ended deadly because of that. Domestic violence, too. Granted, this was more of a general problem than just a "young people" problem. Though young men/boys were considered the most dangerous in that regard. As for ancient times: there are sources from Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece & Ancient Rome complaining about the behavior of "the youth of today", compared to one or two generations before... Edit: I survived my youth, have fond memories of it, and was probably one of those talked about in a derogatory way as "the youth of today" (back then). If I regret one thing, it's not having even more fun than I actually had. If anything, I have the impression "my time" (largely the nineties) was wilder than what most young people experience today (lots of youngsters now are terrified about being filmed while doing something naughty, a problem we didn't really have), but I might be out of the loop a little. As for 50 years ago, the Sexual Revolution was not even 10 years old back then. The late 60s & 70s must have been pretty wild times. Though probably not everywhere. Anyway, I'm too young to have experienced all that era had to offer. Still enjoying the music of that time period, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my friends & acquaintances from back then turned out ok, too. Those few who didn't, would have faced life problems regardless. Substance (ab)use was rather a consequence than a cause of their issues. conformism & moral panic about these things are overrated. You just have to (get to) know your limits. If you can do that, you'll be fine. Some can't, though, that's true. But it's a minority. Some of the people I drank, smoked joints (& tried other things like mushrooms, XTC & LSD) with in the nineties, are teachers and even school principals now. If only their pupils & colleagues knew, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
