Why are people less caring about others in this day and age?

because we are an anti-social, throw away society. We don't value human life (abortions) and we communicate more through faceless machines like self checkouts and computers and phones. People are disposable, therefore not worth our time or effort. And any person exhibiting an ouce of morality, kindness or common sense is looked on as having an ulterior motive because heaven forbid someone should actually just be treating someone with common decency. Many ppl would just as soon sue for your last buck than to help you across the street.

Society is evolving, some generations are getting better, some worse.\n\nOver time natural selection will take over, the people who do "better"  will continue, those who do not will fade away.

It's not just teenagers, it is just a bit more intense for them.  We all care about what other people think of us - it is human nature.  The difference in teenagers and adults is that adults have become better (more practice) at hiding thier true feelings.

Due to the fact that there are social norms that have been instilled in us since we were children. Of course this is coupled with an innate sense of wanting to please others or wanting to look good in the eyes of other people. What people worry about always depends on what they deem as valuable to them. If a person values money and property he/she would often think about what other people would say if he/she were only driving a certain car. If a person values being perceived as a an individual who is competent and efficient he/she would do everything in his/her power to get things done. It really boils down to what you want other people to know about you and the kind of image you want to portray.

maybe ppl are just stupid and in todays world ppl are not as nice as they use to be. everyone seems to be more angry. any friend being rude to me is not my friend and therefor i would get rid of them cause i deserve the best. don't you?

Youth of the old days, didn't have many of the modern conveniences of the youth of today. Life was more simple. Slower pace to life. Less stress. \nOur youth today are misunderstood. They are faced with many things that even 20 years ago were basically unknown. They are pushed to succeed at earlier ages than ever before. They aren't allowed to just be kids. They are judged many times unjustly. So much more is expected of them, and they rebel. I don't blame them. I sympathize with them. The youth of today amaze me, all the things that they face upon reaching adulthood. They have my respect.

Oh I know.  People are in too much of a rush these days.  Most are in a rush to get nowhere.  I think people give themselves too much to do.  It seems that the more conveniences we get, the less time we have to enjoy life.\n\nWe need to enjoy life while we have it.  Tomorrow is not promised and it can be taken while we spend our lives trying to be better than the next person.

I think it's because people are basically egocentric.  Also self-preservation is rather high on the list of the instincts.

There are just somethings people don't care about and you do.  I'm sure there's been things you don't care about and other people have cared.  It's just a matter of personal taste.  Of course you do get the people who don't care about anything, and it sucks for us, but it's their choice.

id run back in a heartbeat. people these days dont care about anyone but theirselves. the most important part of society is failing fast,the family. forget about how much harder it is to live now. its the morals and mindset of people that's scary.

my personal opinion is that society's biggest issue today is judging other people.  between religious beliefs and patriotism, etc., people are always putting other people down for something they think is wrong.  and it's not always so simple as making someone feel bad...it starts wars....look at all the terrorism happening today.  if everyone was just accepting of all races, religions, sexualities, etc., the world would be so much better.

Some people don't have any respect for other's piece of mind, period. A well-behaved child is such a rarity these days. Polite society is becoming extinct.

because people these days are very negative and like to see people down rather than up.

I think that it is a combination of both things. Some people just are attention freaks and have to have attention (this is probably because they didn't get enough attention from their parents as small kids). Other people might seriously have some disability or whatnot.\n\nWhatever it is, though, it's pretty annoying to be around these kind of people.
