What are you talking about?

No one has any problem with your generation at all. Not in any specific way.

In fact, you seem particularly bright for a bunch of dumb kids.

But the fact is, as bright as you are,

you're still a bunch of dumb kids, and are going to be treated as such for sometime to come.

So get used to it. Everyone goes through it.

"They raised us so its THEIR fault >:("

Yeah, I guess, but at some point everything comes together and when people are given free will, they'll do whatever the hell they want, literally.

Blaming the older generation for our failings is a childish thing since we're the bearers of the torch. So brush off that dirt and don't forget that.

somebody has gone and upvoted nearly everyone but me. awww... i hope its not personal. to bad they didnt have a tag. You FAIL:)

the adults of the past generation are giving the next generation (generation X) alot of the problems which it had. they are just passing them on to us, and then they criticize us! we have a few self created problems, but not nearly as much as you of the previous generation did. at least wait for us to grow up and make some mistakes, geez.

You might as well go ahead and "Ban" the lawnman. I'm of the Gen. X era. If you were born after 1981 your not a part of Gen. X.

I personally have no problem with your generation; what I have a problem with is your generation's lack of reason coupled with abundant ignorance. They are simply unaware that they are ignorant about most things of which they speak.

It is to be expected of the older generation to criticize the new. Not simply out of tradition, but it's a recurring fact that has a method to it's madness.

Generally, a nation like America will progress forward in sense of technology, intelligence, social welfare, etc. and each generation stuck along this timeline will become rooted in their ways just out of personality and a natural inability to be psychologically adaptive, in the sense of "you can't teach an old dog new tricks". It's just a biological course trait affected by the environment, so of course there will be deviants, but this is the general behavior.

I'll use African-Americans as an example. 200 years ago, they weren't even considered to be human. That generation was convinced that they had a right to enslave these people, while lo and behold the next generation, the abolitionists who were considered radical at the time swept in and started arguing on their behalf, then while slaves were free later on through the 1900's they were still second-class citizens until the 50's and 60's where new radical desegregators and freedom riders and sit-in companions came in and started a movement for final equality and even they were brutally beaten for it. Each generation outgrows the last and is shouted after.

There are no definite lines, but generally these ideologies took hold largely in part to new, younger thinking. We listen to rap and metal, while mom and pop listen to Elvis, while grandpa thought Club Jazz was as unconventional as it gets. It's a continual cycle.

We are to some extent a spitting image of our parents, but we will generally improve upon older ways, "those who criticize this generation" of course, won't like it.

Hardship leads to a greatness. Look at the generation of people that lived through the Great Depression. One of the greatest. What has Your Generation lived through? What has your parent's Generation lived through? No hardship.

Don't worry about it. Eventually you will inherit the mess we leave behind and you will criticize the younger generation. ;)

I am one of six kids in my family. I have one younger brother, two older sisters and two older brothers.

I am 18 years old, part of "this generation" I guess. I was raised with older siblings who belong to the Y generation. I have always felt that I fit in more with that generation than my own. I rarely ever even listen to new music, with a few exceptions.

I'm not to fond of my generation, I think I was meant for the Y.

Problems with this generation are not due to nature but nurture:

I Blame The Internet

Alright! up votes all around! I like it!

it is not fair i am the oldest in the family and i always have to be the role model towards my baby sisters

i never get what i want

that is like so true to criticize this generation is criticizing yourself

As my friend Amy says (and she is a very quotable person), "Adults are just teenagers with more wrinkles." I'm angst-ridden and tired of adults with a superiority complex. Particularly my parents, who wonder where I've "learned" my anger. Well, my father walked out when I was three, and only ever returned to argue with my mother. That holds true to this day. So where have I learned mistrust, to not have faith in relationships or adults, to fear arguments and confrontation, to be so "angry"? I choose, like so many other adolescents, to blame my parents. Is it fair? I'm not sure. Time will tell. Time will help me make the judgment.

Reading these posts above is like seeing Michael Jackson walking with his ass while tripping over his own head consistantly.

Delete these rediculous negativity please admin, thanks.
