Teenagers nowadays!!

As I was coming home taking a jeepney ride, an old couple joined in. The two didn't know that the jeepney was almost full because the conductor kept telling "Sakay nah, daghan pa kaayo kulang." The old woman stepped in first, she only got a half- seat that every time the jeepney turned, its like she'll fall from her seat. The old man on the other hand ended up in a standing position. I pitied the two, but all I could do is watch them since I'm from afar, and since I'm a girl I can't offer my seat for the old man no matter how much I wanted to or else I'd be the one in a standing position. Even the young man sitting beside me didn't do anything, I even wanted to say to that young man

"hey! pwede palingkuron nimo ang tigulang, luoy kaayo oh..

Pwede bitaw ka mu-kabit,"

but since my fear of being answered or maybe the young man might get angry at me I decided to keep my mouth shut.

That simple incident proves that teenagers nowadays are starting to be disrespectful, and self-centered. Even the saying "Ladies first" already starts to fade, unless the girl is their crush or their girlfriends. As to what I've observed, especially during rush hour, guys often bumped into girls just for them to get a seat. Gentlemen turned out to be gentleDOGS. What is it that teenagers nowadays act differently from teenagers before? Even some girls nowadays acts desperately, some would even make the 1st move just to win her crush. Where's now the "Maria Clara" girl?

I'm not saying that teenagers today are hopeless, but I'm just illustrating what are the teenagers today. Knowing these things, I hope teenagers would become aware of the situation and change for the better.
