"If you think kids are cruel, wait until you become familiar with adults"
He used to tell me this when I was a kid, very often. Was he trying to warn me about how malicious adults can be?
I'm sure he was and he is 100% correct.
Adults act worse than children. I've been in middle to senior level management jobs most of my post college career and that experience alone, confirms what my dad used to say. I am often times disappointed when I see acts act like complete and utter fools/babies.
When people are born, they're not born "fools/idiots". Adults have the worst behaviors that I've ever seen. Where do all of the "hang ups" come from? Snideness, workplace bullies, prone to debating about ANY and EVERYTHING........adults have a "lock" on complicating things to know end.
If I were a child in this day and age, I'd be highly reluctant to listen to this era of "modern" adults.
You kind of answered it in a nutshell but didn't realize it - the idiot adults breed, and the children act like them. When you get to know a child and their parent, you can see how the apple usually doesn't fall far.

Took the words right out of my mouth.
I recall someone asking for advice in an auto magazine what he should do about the neighbor boy who has loud mufflers and " guns" his car day and night.
The author said you could go and talk to the parents but don't expect results.
He stated what you did..........."unfortunately, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree"
I recall whenever I had a younger co-worker who was an inconsiderate jerk, soon another co-worker would say............." you think he is bad ? You should see his dad ! "

This actually hasn't been my experience. I have met some petty adults, but I've also met plenty of great people who for the most part have there heads on right. Sorry your experiences haven't been so pleasant.

I would more chalk it up to adult WOMEN (men are aholes too but usually not in the way you are referring to) but it's true that adults are worse than children. Adults should know better. They act immature in a bad way while condemning people like me for having a young spirit and the worst part is they don't admit to it. Sure children and teenagers can be bratty but they're not malicious in their intent. At worst, they are shallow.

You've clearly stated the difference. Adults are malicious in their intent.
I think it's definitely true. I got bullied quite a bit in school, especially by a group of girls in High School. However, I've met some adults that make those girls seem tame, and they were in their 50s. When I first started working at the job I am at now, I was only a temp. The older women did everything they could to try and get me fired and I don't know why. I am a shy quiet girl. I never did anything to them. I just did my work for my eight hours, and I went home. They seemed to really hate me though. It was the three of them that were against me, and if it hadn't been for my team leader I think they would have succeeded. Temps can get fired over any little thing. I think purposely trying to get someone fired for no reason is pretty bad.
I've also met other people who have been pretty rude to me. I was bullied because of my looks, I am not pretty at all. I've met some adults who have been more harsh with me about my looks than teens were. When I was a teenager I used to live in a dream world that once I was an adult, all the teasing and bullying and backstabbing would stop. I wish I could go back and tell my 15 year old self how wrong I was. Adults are a lot worse.
This one woman at my work is one of the biggest bullies there to everyone. She backstabs, she laughs at peoples appearances, she is very manipulative, and yet she speaks at school about how bullying is wrong. She has a Facebook page and everything telling people that bullying has to end. She sets an amazing example...
I get bullied by women in my neighborhood. It's so embarrassing; people think I'm being ridiculous. I have no idea how to defend myself against these women without actually feeding their frenzy.
An outsider would probably think they're "normal", and I'm just a nut making it up. People like this are amazingly clever.
Not really -- there are a lot of very nice people. You just have to find them and stop associating with people who make you feel bad.
Yep, I agree. Gravitate to what you believe are good people. Awful people come in all age groups, sex, socio-economic backgrounds and so forth. Avoiding drama kings and queens is key. Don't let the negative people bring you down. Avoid them all like the plague and seek being around people you like spending time with.
