There is nothing that I find more pathetic than hating young people.
It’s our responsibility to help the next generation have a damn future, not complain at them until they become loyal servents.
People act like the kids owe them something. No it’s the other way around, we owe them.
We have an ass backwards society where kids are expected to raise themselves and serve adults. It’s insane.
I can’t count how many times I’ve been out somewhere and there is some parent screeching at their child like a bratty teenager. Like holy shit, how did we get to the point where parents are less mature than their kids? It’s pathetic.
And then people complain that kids show no respect and youth crime is up. Yeah, no shit, who would respect a society of selfish brats? You act like a prick in front of your kids and now they’re pricks too. No shit. Instead of setting an example and being decent human beings we act like screeching tyrants and expect them to grow up to respect us and society? What a joke.
I’ve managed to make it to 45 without developing any “dang kids these days” brainworms, so at this point I don’t really think it’ll happen at all.
The kids are alright
I want young people to have incomprehensible slang that I don’t understand. I want young people to develop music and art that I don’t understand and isn’t for me. I want young people to act silly and goofy and cringe. I want young people to make me question my ideals and morals.
If I ever get to a point where I’m just complaining about young people for no real reason take me out behind the shed and shoot me
their haircuts are stupid but so were ours so they get a pass
I’ve seen my nephew get berated and mocked for “ipad withdrawal” by his parents even though he’s not the one that got it for himself and he didn’t decide to move to a suburbs where the only outside activity is listening to lawn equipment.
