This might be slightly lazy blogging, but today I just want to reiterate what I wrote a year or so ago here. My aversion to schoolchildren seems to be getting worse. These days, whenever I’m out and about and catch sight of a group of teenagers, I automatically feel the same fear, the same dread that I’m about to be taunted or mocked. In fact I think it’s getting worse. Last night, on my way home, I had some trouble from a group of girls up at North Greenwich station; and today, I was on a bus earlier when I had a group of teenagers around me, looking down and sneering. Kids seem to be getting progressively cockier and more big headed. I know I should just ignore them, but it seems utterly unfair that I should have to put up with being looked down upon by a kid who is younger than my blog.
