‘Go easy on the aggression or we’ll create angry kids’
Another letter about a reckless driver (female to boot). Four boys beat a fellow female student to the point of brain haemorrhage in Abu Dhabi.
Kids slapping their nannies and hitting and shouting at their siblings in public places. Parents taking young children to PG13+ movies with violence (but not kissing).
The driver who wants to exact his revenge on me because I am in the left lane of Jumeirah Beach Road (getting ready to turn) but I am hindering his little body as he sits in his big manly truck with extra big wheels.

letter
You think there is a major problem with aggression here? A child that is allowed to hurt a sibling, smack or yell at a nanny, disrespect a teacher, watch a violent movie or play a violent video game - will grow up into an adult that thinks it is OK to drive their cars like weapons and behave rudely to service staff or anyone they deem as a "lesser person".
Entitlement, lack of humility and growing aggression are internal threats far worse than any financial environmental or geo-political threats.

“AAAli1, would you believe, I have actually heard kids of certain nationalities being "told" by their parents to be rude or harass Asian workers. And the kids do it.”

“Its happening every where in the world today unless you havent travelled much. You will this behaviour within every society nowadays so get use to it. And no matter how much we harp on it things will never change - just gets worse. London Riots was a perfect example of new generation mentality.”
