"These kids are overindulged,with a towering selfesteem as opposed to selfrespect whichwon't be healthy," he warns. "We are facing the most rebellious andobnoxious group of teenagers ever."Lucinda Schmidt BEN DOUNEEN is eight years old and is in year3"I like playing with my friends because some kids in othercountries don't get to play with their friends. At school, I likecomputers because you get to learn new things and art becauseI'm good at drawing.When I get home from school, I like to check emails on the DET[Department of Education and Training] portal, which I type intoGoogle and log in with my username and password.
