Today I have been thinking all day - again - about the nature of teenage cruelty. I had to fight with a group of guys, there were about twelve of them: they attacked one of their friends and kicked him in the head. 5th or 6th grade, probably. It was in an alley, I passed by. I was amazed that the whole gang attacked one of them, beating them with all their might. In response I heard a curse word such a choice that would arouse jealousy in the prison camp. And all this was such anger, such terrible rudeness, such insolence that they could talk like that to an old man. They really didn't care that there was an adult in front of them. I fully understand that if they wanted to, they would attack me, but what can a woman do against twelve angry teenagers? Of course, nothing. Moreover, the most unimaginable thing is that they probably started it in order to publish it on the Internet. Like, aunty, don't interfere, they're shooting a movie here, go where you went. And wondering, who will surprise you today with such wild "videos"?.. That's the thing, I said I'd call the police now and I took out my phone to take a picture of this goop company, but as I turned it on, they started running away. It turned out that the one who was beaten already had a broken arm. When I turned around, I saw in the distance a woman standing with a little daughter - there was a playground nearby, and a little further away - a grandmother with a cane. They came to me. Mother and daughter said that it became scary to go for a walk, occasionally there were violent riots in the street. And the grandmother said that she is 80 years old, she has worked as a kindergarten teacher all her life, and that she cries a lot because she does not understand what happened to the children today, and that she is very afraid of what is happening to the young people. And she even added that she cannot communicate normally with her grandchildren, who talk "on the mat" and have become very disgruntled.
