Victim of Beating is Fighting for His Life

What is wrong with people our age today? Since when did it become cool to be so tough? I read the article in the Omaha World Herald about a father being almost beaten to death by his sons rivals from Weeping Water. He had no idea what he was walking into when he stepped outside the door to tell those kids to leave. It's sad to see people my age today making stupid mistakes, thinking that they are the shit. They didn't even take the time to notice that they weren't even beating up the right person. Teenagers today don't care today. They don't care that we are the laziest generation and it really makes me mad. We have all this new technology, all this good we could accomplish and we could invent so much to help people; but no, everything has to be taken for granted. Nowadays, life is expected to be handed to you on a silver platter. Parents are considered horrible if they don't buy their child a car for their sixteenth birthday. Teens don't care about life beyond their own two feet. All they care about is the latest thing. What's new, what's hot. Anything that will affect their lives is all they care about.
What is so horrible about this story is that they came back with bats. They had the intention to hurt someone very badly. Even though they had already had a fight they felt the need to come back and beat the crap out of them. How could something like this get started. Why do people have to let drama get in the way of everything? I just want to be like who cares, why does it matter anyway. Why do people let this stuff affect them like this? I wish people would learn that it's not all about themselves, other people matter to.
