I just enrolled in a second bachelor's in mathematics through correspondents.
I think Zaroku might be providing me a glimpse of the future here.
Actually, your problem is just the obnoxious Japanese kids.
American kids are maybe bad too, I don't know, but they aren't prone to screaming 'sugoi!' at the top of their lungs in a crowded public space.

Each passing generation seems to clash with the new generation. Been that way since the beginning of time. That is the trappings of youth--ten feet tall and bullet proof, they know it all, they have all the answers, and if you call them on their shyt they just say you're old and you don't get it. In the 50's parents thought Elvis was the devil. Those kids who were fans of his had kids in the 60's who loved the Beatles, and those parents hated the long-hairs from across the pond. The Beatles fans grew up and had kids of their own who listened to disco, this new sound called rap, and 80's top 40. Of course to them it was all garbage. Today, most hit songs are whiney chick music, which coincides with this whiney generation of millennials who are quite delicate when it comes to words that offend them. Doesn't take much to trigger a retreat to their safe-space if you dare to hurt their feelings.
With each passing generation we get softer and softer. My grandparents grew up during the Great Depression, lived through WWII, and knew what real hardships were about. I grew up in a dumpy tenement building in Brooklyn, no heat in winter, infested with critters and crawlies, serenaded by gunshots through the night, and having to scrap my way through the bullies and bad guys--no safe space or social media to cry about my victimhood.
Just find solace knowing that one day they will be the target of the generation that follows them. They too will be up against the know-it-alls, snowflakes, and SJWs. At least we have wisdom, wine and smoke to keep our sanity intact, or what's left of it. Happy Hanukkah. Merry Christmas. Feliz Navidad!
