nerves overload

is it acceptable for kids to run everywhere during a function in a hall e.g. cultural night and use the excuse that, 'oh, they are only kids. let them be.' kids chasing each other and yelling at each other running from the back to the front, from the inside to the outside.....it really got on my nerves yesterday.

the workplace had a cultural night which was sort of an open event where the public could come in. so of course we had a very mixed crowd bringing their kids for some entertainment.

why can't kids be well-mannered and sit there watching the show? why can't parents control their kids? why aren't the teenagers more subdued and more well-mannered? i was glared at when telling 2 groups of rowdy teenagers to stop shouting outside the hall when the vip was showing a slide show. and those teens are only 13! ok, so it was not my duty yesterday to handle the discipline, but i just couldn't stand it. what a disgrace. those whose names who were suppsed to be on duty, were sitting in the hall chatting.

and oh, did i tell you about those couples caught in the dark corners?? it was like a game of hide-n-seek.

what about those who came in short short mini shorts and let the long hair all down when they were told to come in long pants.

and those outsiders who came.....came like they were the the 'tai lo'....er....gangster like....looking for girls!!! i overheard one telling the others that they were no beautiful girls that night.

i dun want to be in this community.....of course not all are like this. there are civilised ones as well. only those who are 'less educated' behave roughly. how many years do i still have to face them??

seriously, inconsiderate yelping ill-mannered kids at parties only reflect how their parents are. Our society is going thru moral decadence by your description..which is rampant everywhere else too. Money doesn't spell class by my standards bcoz so many of these people came from so-called well to do background or earn quite alot themselves but still have no finesse. Let's pray that you and I still managed to tell the difference and coach our loved ones to behave better.
(Waa...panjangnya khutbah Deepavali nih!..he he...but seriously, I'm appaled!)
