Failing infrastructure. A lot of the things that made America great needs constant attention and updating but we won’t vote to keep them alive. Trump got rid of DOE that will make us dumber but we voted and got that
I’m a millennial, and I’m not sure we were better? I recall several outbursts, one kid even got suspended for sliding a yard stick up a teachers leg when she was wearing a skirt.
The difference to me is that we had like.. Razr flip phones that took shotty pics at best. But now everything is recorded so it seems crazy and normal at the same time
And this was at a suburban mostly middle class school
Parenting has gone down the drain,
I’m 31 now, I was a teen when cell phones were getting good. There was a sense of exploration and fear of the unknown that is largely gone because cell phones are so ingrained into us now. what seems to be an original idea or thought is easily googled. It was already hard enough trying to build an identity before the Internet, I can’t imagine what the teens going through puberty are dealing with these days lol. It’s just too easy to feel small and insignificant, and the easy answer to that problem is often the wrong one, because every piece matters
The world has allowed dude-bro tech nerds to siphon off nearly every penny from the economy.
Young people are poor, depressed, living in a “live now – pay later” world perpetuated by online influencer asshats and have no place in the world.
Then they are expected to breed and be happy living in abject poverty and debt.
I’m Gen X, as far as I can tell this has been the narrative about every generation since the 1970s, maybe earlier.
Gen Alpha was abandoned by the previous generations, the boomers don’t care about any generation but themselves. making the world better for the future generations ended and they know it. they know they are fucked and they are saying fuck you to society and all the elder people rules that follow. don’t blame them. look in the mirror instead.
Nothing is going on except for generation wars propaganda.
They’ve been saying this about each generation of kids. Gen z is growing up so now it’s time to criticize the next one lol.
I think there’s a huge disconnect with these poor kids. My 11 year old says they can’t discuss current events in school because they aren’t allowed to talk about politics or religion or anything “controversial” at all. So they are being treated like they can’t talk about anything or be taught things in school because of some crazy adults and then they go online and are treated like idiots, especially through targeted videos (made BY ADULTS) that pretend like they say things like “skibidi toilet” or “rizz”. I think most Gen alphas are just kids that shouldn’t be blamed for the failure of the adults around them.
Maybe if all the adults in the world weren’t so awful and disrespectful, the young kids wouldn’t be too? Maybe if adults weren’t making garbage videos and content for children, the kids would have a better chance?
Lots of things but i won’t list them because some people get sensitive about it. However i will say it’s a 100% parenting issue. That and i use to blame the teachers because they don’t actually teach anymore. However i don’t anymore because it’s just gotten so f**ked up on what they can and can’t teach, then if they do grade the kid on what was done, they catch hell from the parents??? Dude how did that flip?
Maybe eliminating several key years of social development and maturation was a mistake, huh?
Also kids are always snotty and everybody ever has complained about kids these days (in-class incidents are probably worse right now, though).
