It is often said that the youth of today are disrespectful and
undisciplined, unlike the older generation had been.  I am sure every
generation has that view of the youth of their day.  I would like to
find a quote or quotes from prior generations indicating that view of
their youth.  I had heard that Plato had made such a statement.

I am glad the information I provided was useful to you! Thank you for
accepting it as your answer.

It is interesting to note how similar the complaints about young
people have been, down through the ages. I was born in the late 1940s.
My parents and their generation were horrified by rock 'n' roll and
trends such as long hair on men. In turn, I (and many of my peers)
have had a hard time accepting things like rap music and body
piercings. Goodness only knows what the new kids will be upset about
when they have children of their own.
