Charlotte Crosby, to me epitomises everything that is wrong with the youth of modern Britain.

Courtney Stodden whilst having an annoyingly high pitched voice, I think is very sweet.

Discuss...

You do realise, that every member of these mythical "modern youth" groups, aren't like this?

Of course I do, but you only have to go to your local high street on a Saturday night or watch one of those teenagers abroad documentaries to realise that she equally represents a very large portion of them.

Round it up for me, please.

There are approximately 7.4 million 16-24yr olds in the uk (http://www.ukyouth.org/stories/item/...tml#.UhnFn3_9y). What portion is made up by the 50-100 people like this you might see on a Saturday night?

I'm not with you on this one hermit I'm sure our American friends on here would tell you that they have youth drinking issues too.

The problem is you don't see the vast majority of people behaving themselves, just the rowdy drunken louts so it looks like its a lot worse than it is.

No I don't know, and I don't care. You only have to see the reaction she got when walking in to see that she is praised for the way she is. Not to mention that she has her own TV show.

She makes me want to vomit.

I've been a teenager, i've been through College, there were a lot more people who would be dribbling kebab juice over themselves at 2am on a Saturday night than sitting at home reading the bible. [at my college]

So if you don't know and/or care about the actual statistics, would you do the honourable thing and perhaps admit your bias may be clouding your judgment here?

Saying "I know because I've been there too", doesn't really mean anything. It's anecdotal, and anecdotal evidence is the worst kind. I've also been through university. I left a small rural village to move to a big city, so I've had massive culture shock, it doesn't mean that I get to label everyone as a waster.

..you're talking about extremes though CH, most people aren't extreme..I'm sure they can be in that young people may sometimes dribble kebab juice on a Saturday etc..but lots of older people can and do as well...wisdom..?...good behaviour..?...bad behaviour..?..etc, is applicable to all ages...

America ranks top in confidence, but low in attainment. Who'd a thunk it?

I have to disagree. Thh I don't think much of either, but I do think that Courtney's lack of dignity and aspirations as a modern young woman, other than to hook a rich guy and look like a barbie doll is very harming to young vulnerable girls - this thread being testamy to that.

[Jemal]

I'm a Youth of Britain but im in no way like Charlotte. But then again im not a woman.
Tbfh just change the title to something more understanding cynical lool

[Jemal]

I won't lie Charlotte is so disgusting and repulsive.
She doesn't do the girls of Britain any favours in how they may come across. Then you have on launch night people cheering her name after the foul things she said. It does make you wonder if people in Britain are proud to have those kind of women in our society

[Yayita]

Both are extreme and exagerated depictions of some young people and that is that. American teens are not like Courtney or Charlotte and I'm sure the UK teens arent either. END OFF!!

[smudgie]

Too much generalisation.

Neither girl represents all of their peer group. We will all have our own opinion n them both and that is what matters to us I suppose.

Charlotte is a bit ott with her bad manners etc but I can't help wondering if a lot of it is to do with the show she is on.
You have always had the "youth of the day" that will go out and drink too much, as indeed quite a few older people do.
The difference between today and in my day is that they have more money to spend nowadays.
Underneath all the bad manners and foul language etc I can actually see a canny lass, hopefully she will grow up into a more self respecting young lady one day.

Courtney comes across as a nice enough girl,rather dull for her age if I am honest. I do find it had to believe she has just turned 19. She looks a lot older, maybe she has had a hard life, it can't be easy getting married at 16 and more or less missing out on your youth.
Hoping she will open up a bit more and enjoy herself.....but quietly, the voice is awful.

[Kizzy]

There are some that are like those two, for some it's just a phase I've seen Geordie shore once they aren't all like them though, we can't write off a whole generation haha!

[Niamh.]

Back on topic everyone, I don't want to have to close the thread
