Isn't Gen Alpha still technically Gen Z? Cause generations tend to span 20ish year gaps thus making them later Gen Z where we're early Gen Z. True Gen Alpha wouldn't have been born until a few months ago
The sad part is that this video is never gonna reach the people who actually need to hear it, the only comments I see are from gen Zs. That's the real problem.
Another millenial here, i fully understand the situation you guys are going through, it is perhaps even worse, but you guys are stronger than you realize. Don't let grumpy old folks bring you down, and we millenials should also do what we can to aid you.
Yea can we make up for the lack of awwws in the crowd in this thread? K i'll go first: *AWWWWWWWWWW* Update: WHOA I NEVER GOT THIS MANY LIKES BEFORE! Thx guys :3 Update 2: WTF
can we talk about how emotionless this crowd is?? he's literally being so friendly and making jokes, while they're all just sitting there, showing no emotion whatsoever ✋👁️👄👁️
Yea he was really friendly, but I believe the crowd are the parents from the past generation being telled that they screwed everything up with their children and just raised they so badly, which they partially did...Anyways, I agree, he deserved more applauses, crowd cheers and laughter.
Sometimes silence speaks louder than words. Maybe they are actually listening rather than only taking in the sensationalization. I don’t think it’s a slight against him, I think it’s them paying attention.
I remember when I was 12, I'd always be told to act my age, but I was just acting 12. I was expected look and act like a grown woman. Gen. Z is being pushed to grow up too fast
Franchesca Mia *laughs in magnet school* ... But seriously, at 12 years old I was already being prepared to plan for what college I wanted to go to and what my career would be... You ain’t wrong.
Franchesca Mia well I’m 14 and have no goal in life. My parents are great, society is horrible Edit: not to be confused with what everyone else is saying. My school is always forcing us to choose what ‘path in life’ to take, as if high school basically defines and shapes your life based on the choices you make..... -_-
Exactly!! My mom even apologized yesterday! She started crying saying that she never gave me a childhood or anything, that I have the mindset of a 20 year old not my age! It was actually really different to see because I was always pushed to grow up and change things be better so it was really different
You’re right. Us Gen Xers were assholes& self-righteous. A ton of us had kids too young& Gen Xers are late bloomers, so....Most of us didn’t really grow up or find ourselves until our 30s and by then it was too late; we’d already shaped you guys, you kids were already grown.
When I was about 10, my conservative grandpa told me “ I’m so sorry my generation has messed up the earth. Now it’s in you guys to fix our mistakes and I’m so sorry about that”
@@dustinrisinger1958 is not necessarily related to the left, is just people with common sense and empathy that think is not right to discriminate someone that has a darker skin🤷♀️
I heard from my phycology teacher that we are The most stressed generation he’s ever seen. Said something’ll never forget. “You guys are expected to do everything but aren’t given the resources to do anything”... really it’s f*cked up. We are overloaded, stressed to the breaking point, given ZERO help for mental health, usually only one (not trained) counselor PER SCHOOL! Half of us want to die everyday and 3/4 of us have extreme anxiety disorders. And we are expected to do MORE the past generations. My parents tell me that there’s nothing to be stressed about. Ok, is 2 papers, read 2 books, 7 pages of math work, with 6 extra worksheets, a science worksheet and lab, history notes, and vocabulary not stressful enough? Oh I forgot, keeping a social profile, keeping up with friends so they don’t ditch you, look right, talk right, hope you don’t look too tired, tell you parents you’re fine, mental breakdowns in school, trying not to fail but you don’t understand, depression in quarantine, the struggle to get out of bed in the morning..... is it not enough We’re just suffering in silence now..
Gen z is the generation with the most mental health problems. They really don’t get it. Things are so different now. It is so much harder. We are up till 3 in the morning trying to finish assignments. Plus you forgot to include all the tests we have to study for. It is impossible to keep up with everything. I spend so many nights just crying myself to sleep and having a mini panic attack cause I have no idea what to do. We are not prepared for this
@@hllyenaylleth9576 Who said they did so happily? Japan happens to have the highest suicide rates. Besides, war time and assignments are not comparable. Also being overloaded with work is a perfectly valid reason to be stressed. Not only do we feel overwhelmed, but we also end up sacrificing too much personal time, missing out on family events and holidays, blowing off friends and families, losing relationships and friendships due to distance, etc., all just to keep up with assignments and stay on top of the class. Lack of human interaction, personal time with hobbies, and hygiene is really bad for one's mental health, and it also causes the type of loneliness that hits you like a truck and eats you inside at 3am when you've finally finished the assignments and studying you started at 5pm. Please do not downplay the mental health effects caused by being overworked at school.
Right, and they get mad at us for trying to fight for whats right when we have grown up with movies and some music telling us about what society has done and all these standards and how the government is unfair and needs to be overthrown.
Solve what ??? All u guys do is make tiktoks and cry . It’s such a bs fairytale this video . A couple generations ago kids got beat up by teachers and parents . I got hit by my dad and it was normal . Yet u are the one with “real” problems . It’s so bs . Everything in society is BETTER than in the past
These “issues” seem to be self-created issues. With all due respect to the speaker here, he’s clearly missing the mark and making excuses. We have gotten to a point to where life is truly SO GOOD, then we must create problems to “fix”… everything is solved; generation Z just needs to be more innovative. I can see how that is difficult, given the massive strides made in the past 200 years, particularly the past twenty years. What else is left to create? What technology? … 21st century innovators seem to be far and few in between. Innovation is what needs to be focused on, not political talking points.
@@ci6516 please go and educate yourself about climate change, expected resource shortages in near future, the system that was made up decades ago and is doomed to fail, the economy. then we can talk
Yeah until you go to Twitter and say anything even considered mildly offensive 😒 my generation seriously doesn't have a sense of humor anymore and the whole Anti-Bullying bs isn't making them any better prepared for the real world Edit: basically just making a generation of naive people with a lack of knowledge of how predatory human behavior can be, making them a easy target for anyone with I'll intent
Parents: I want my children to have better lives than I do, so im going to work as hard as I can! children: **has better life Parents: *and I took that personally.*
In the future I really hope to be a better parent. My parents shut the door on me and left me to figure it out on my own. They want me to be "independent" but for independence I don't need emotional neglect.
This is legit a conversation I had with my dad today. So we were talking about generations and he said that kids nowadays don't play outside like he did...and so Me: why couldn't I play outside when I was younger? Dad: who were you gonna play with? Me: the neighborhood kids... Dad: there was no one for you to play with... Me: Micky was 2 years older than me, Amanda was also 2 years older than me, Ernie was 1 year younger than me, his brother was a bit older than me ...there was everyone for me to play with Dad: ...your mom was the one that didn't let you play with them My parents are boomers, my older brother is a millennial, and I'm genZ...boomers always wanna blame others for problems they created and we are left here to suffer the consequences to decisions we never made.
@ How would you feel when you have no friends, have mental health issues, working on it yourself with no support from family, wants a cat as an emotional support pet and being told no because its 'their' house while at the same time not allowing you to move out??? And expecting you to help around the house saying its 'your' house as well while explicitly keep bringing up it's 'their' house🤷🏻♀️
Rae Rohan ikr Damn 90s babies trying to be entitled.. they hate having the last number of the millennium so they impersonate us 00s born glad their approaching 30+ years of age soon..
yeah, i believe the oldest of us are 20 or so. alot of us (if we're following 1998-2004) are in highschool going into college and the work force. they have nothing to go off to call us failures.
Teeny_African uhhh I’m going to be a senior and I’m the oldest in my grade cause I was born on the cut off date. Would’ve been in college but alas I was born in September. So, almost
Boomers: YoU HavE iT sO EAsY, wHEn i WaS yoUr aGE iT WaS sO mUcH HArdEr Isn't the point of humanity advance and make life as easy as possible for upcoming generations? And i didn't decide to live in this generation.
From all Boomers and Generation X we like to apologize to you Zoomers that we made your Millennial helicopter parents the most privileged, wealthiest and most entitled generation in the entirety of human history that now make your Zoomer life and future difficult.
@@THEREALZENFORCE anecdotes or not, it's a huge pattern I noticed. Keep in mind, I have a large sample size. To go off of, I'd rather have a millennial parent than one like you.
adults: your world is broken, why aren't you doing anything to stop it? gen z: tries to make decisions for themselves and be in control adults: no not like that
@@hllyenaylleth9576the maximum age for gen z is 20 and most are in school. You expect us to make changes yet you all dont teach us how to do taxes , you tell us to learn mathamatical tables when there are calculators for a reasons , millenials over used earth resources and now expect US to do BETTER than them? you have the impact on your children.Instead of rambling why dont you make an impact on society when you can and us children cant?
@Mynameisirrelevant leave them alone, they want you to act that way. When closed-minded people like that talk, it's better to leave them that way. 'Cuz if you keep coming against them, they'll always find a way to take it back to you.
@@hllyenaylleth9576 also, you. Just because you recycle, and feel proud about it, doesn't allow you the right to mock against the younger generation still learning how to, quote on quote, "put out the fire", live their life, and meet the expectations of their parents. People like you ARE the reason why we, the gen Z, don't know how to put out the fire. Have you ever thought of teaching us how to do taxes? How to find and seize opportunities to live bigger lives? How to learn to forgive parents who act like you, raising the bar so high for their childrens' achievements? No, you have not.
How I see it is: If you’re apart of Gen Z (as myself), then you’re in the “Can’t Sleep because Everything Is Constantly Changing and It’s Eat or Be Eaten” Era. With the access of so much information, can you honestly expect us to never be doing anything? I could do everything on my phone from reading books to submitting digital paperwork to applying for jobs. The possibilities are endless. To add onto that, it means school curriculums are steadily growing. You quite literally cannot rest too much or you’ll fall behind. God forbid we do get a chance to rest and you see it as not using time constructively. At this rate, your child needs to know the fundamentals of Quantum Physics the moment they pop out the womb. As much as I’m motivated to do better and actively be better, I get tired too. Shoot! I haven’t even properly started college yet. Can I get a chance to make mistakes? The answer is no. We’re expected to just _know_ and stay 16 steps ahead of problems. Like I said though, I get tired too.... and I’m pretty sure most of the Generation is still in school....
Exactly! I felt like this when I was back in school, and I got too overwhelmed because there was so much I needed to do to keep up with everyone and I didn't give myself time to rest, and I suffered so much because of it. From my mental declining to my physical health declining to my social life, everything was falling apart and I had no support from my family and society (the exception being a few of my friends and teachers whom I've made connections with). Up to this day, whenever I make mistakes at home, I always get shouted at even though I usually learn from all my mistakes after making them once or twice, but I wouldn't have learnt anything if I didn't make these mistakes in the first place! And even after I learned my lesson, I still made some mistakes because of how tired I was and how there never seemed to be an end to the things I need to do so I can finally get the rest I need, or to do research on stuff I don't know but am pressured to just automatically *know*... It's exhausting honestly
True true. I am in 8th grade and got to bed at 1 am this morning and I started my homework/studying as soon as I got home. Give us a chance to breathe!!! It's break now (today was last day) and now I need to start projects and preparation for next semester Edit was because I put 7th grade instead of 8th grade. I had to catch my bus at six thirty am too, you can tell I'm tired. I got about five hours of sleep
It's 2:30 on a school night and I'm up revising for a chemistry test whilst also worrying about the future. They always tell us mental health is more important than school work until it comes down to actually doing the schoolwork. It's either get it done or get a detention. Over the last couple of weeks I have slowly but surely regressed into the worst mental state I think I've ever been in and no one's even noticed because I'm fine on the outside but then it's the evening and I honestly completely lose my will to live. If that doesn't sum up our generation I don't know what does.
I’m still in 6th, just turned twelve, you know what though? I had eye bags 4 in fourth grade, they haven’t gone away. I’ve been keeping all of my grades above 90 get upset that my PE GRADE is at 80 because I need to better to survive and I know that,. When I was EIGHT I had ADULTS talking bad about me and I didn’t even know. I could go on and on but I need to do all of my home tasks in 5 hours, as I come home from school at 5 in the afternoon
I like it that society has finally realised that teens and college kids are gen z and not millennials, like most millennials are actually in their 30s now
as a millennial I've noticed something. Old videos talk about how "the next generation will save the world" and "our kids will do great things" all the way back to the start of video. Newspapers and books printed the same sentiments even farther back. It's been a game of pass the buck for well over a hundred years. "I couldn't do it, so I'll pass the buck to my kid. Surely they can do what i couldn't." No. You want us to do what you procrastinated on and now that the time limit to get it done is coming to an end you can't decide if we're gonna be great and fix it or if we've failed to do it in time. The problem isn't us, it's YOU for putting the whole world in our laps and doing nothing to help. YOU failed and now you're yelling at US for YOUR failures??? Shut up and get to work. If you want us to save the world then start being a better example of what you expect us to do about it because WE'RE NOT THE ONES WITH ALL THE POWER.
It's like one of those fantasy stories with a chosen one trope; a charater is thrown into a world where they are the proclaimed "the chosen one/savor of our world" but is overwhelmed by the expecteion of being "the savor of the world" and supposedly make everything better
@@Skept1cal_269 What's funny to me is how the generations can be summed up at all. No one can even agree whether I'm a millenial or gen z still as a cusp (though sounds like they've decided I'm a millenial), yet that would supposedly change so much about me. Whether I'm the wealthy entitled one or the poor scapegoated kid of them. My kids would be gen alpha, if I ever wanted to subject them to this world.
do u realize what my generation is going through? no. i suffer with depression and nobody helps. when i open up to my parents they just say im lazy and that im getting it easy.
When he started talking about how children need to be connected to their parents hearts, I started to tear up. I can't even look into my parents eyes without feeling like i'm going to be yelled at. Whenever I hear a loud noise I flinch. Whenever I see my parents I stop breathing. whenever I'm around my parents I want to cry.
Hey it's okay I know how you feel . It's sad , that most of the time our parents don't listen to us or doubt us . It's okay I know you can get through it . Just stay strong :)
I have always thought of respect as a two way street, if I respect you, you should respect me. If you refuse, don't be mad when I take away my respect.
@JackOfSpades My old English teacher complained to the entire class about the students not respecting her, then she proceeded to yell at a student for giving her attitude... it was literally just the way he spoke and he'd been in her class all year.
@JackOfSpades I'm legit in the same situation. My grandpa is very rude in a lot of ways. I understand that my grandpa has been through a lot of things and his life hasn't been the easiest, but that's no excuse to treat someone badly. My mom tells me to respect him, but I think about it just like how elementary school taught us. "Treat others the way you want to be treated." Funny how the ones teaching us are the ones that can't follow their own advice. I really agree that it goes both ways, again, you give what you get. I hope that both our families one day understand
Boomers: "GeN z Is IrReSpOnSiBlE aNd EnTiTlEd AnD tHeY dOnT wOrK" Gen Z: *Most of us haven't even graduated yet and can't legally work, vote, or do just about anything to help our world that's falling apart - THANKS TO THE BOOMERS*
@@IEversmann1 idk I've enjoyed having a job since I turned 16. It was my choice. I now work three jobs and am in college lmao. I think a lot of people just don't want to work because that's effort. Do keep in mind that I'm also maintaining a ldr so I'm not a workaholic
TEDx crowds are never the most engaging or fun crowds. They mostly just sit there and stare at you and wait for their cue to clap. Even Kermit the Frog couldn't make them react. Makes me wonder why these people actually go to these events.
I'm not a Gen Z (I've told I'm a millennial, but I honestly don't know where Millenials end and Gen Z begins anymore, I think I'm in the middle somewhere) but this hit home really hard
We are impatient because we don't like waiting, we value time and we don't like wasting it. We get distracted for exactly what he said, we are in a messy place and we want to fix it.
Exactly. My parents always say I need to go on vacation but in that time I could be finishing several independent projects, research in stocks or cramming sat practice
We're apathetic as a coping mechanism because there are too many things to care about and the school system has taught us that we'll fail if we care too much about any of them.
Me: mom are you mad Mom:no why would you think that Me: your tone Mom: tone doesn’t mean many thing Also mom: watch your tone why you coping a attitude with me what did I do to make you mad Me : I’m not what makes you think that Mom:your TONE Me in head: man if I’m mad at anyone it’s myself
bruh i talk in a normal tone of voice and my mum gives me an actual DEATHH GLAREEEE, like wtf I just wanted to say thank u and u thinks IM being rude? :*(
Nobody Baby boomers: When i was your age i had 7 jobs and payed 8 mortgages I had a doctorates degree in every major. I had to walk across the country during the ice age to get to school and you cant even graduate highschool before the age of 12. What a disappointment. Btw can you help fix my computer i got 13 virus again
Older gen z: well I am in college with no clue what I am doing with my life and struggling to interact with other human beings much less getting a job. So I am sorry and I wish I could have that level of accomplishment but I sometimes just feel like a five year old with how little I understand about this complex world of things I was sheilded from growing up that was suddenly tossed into head first a few years ago.
We're being forced to grow up too fast. They say we're lazy. We show them our work and say we're trying. Its not good enough, they say. They say we're lazy and should be functioning members of society. We just want to be kids, we cry. We're ignored.
The thing here is, they are not helping you or anyone, they are only helping themselves and using prejudice to fill their ego. I call it, the sociopath in disguise.
i feel as though us gen zers are stiffled in every way possible. we get criticized for the internet, but when we try to go out and change the world we get told that we dont know what we're talking about
Just hearing someone from an older generation say "I'm sorry" really hit me differently. Because I hear a lot of the things he said in this video, about our generation being entitled and lazy, but never anyone take responsibility for making us this way. They just blame us for how we were raised.
you are at fault to, for you and the rest of the youngers are just continuing a fault. You didn't start these fires, yet none of you typical lazy and self centered bums are doing anything to stop the fires. As is human nature which has been going on for a long time, when younger, lazy, bums, such as yourself who also did nothing but shortsighted shellfish acts. Nothing will change, we are all pining for destruction in the end, even though we are becoming more intelligent. Also, seems like you are a lost cause, the end of a burning ship, and most of you are the wreckage or among the wreckage. No hope even if you tried. You, for being human, automatically fail. Most here hate you, and know nothing about you.
@@brett8259 I am a young 23 year dancer and have seen a lot. Now one consistent factor is that nothing really has changed in human nature. I mean ask yourself, what do you really see around you that is different in human nature now, compared to then. Right away you are disregarding someone with a different view then yours, as a shortsighted and simpleminded individual. Even though the comment is true. You just repeated the human nature of automatically resenting something different, and the world is always changing in everything but human nature. You will get cynical of the society changes to come, as the people before you. You can only age so much.
@@brett8259 Why is anyone with a different view, who is also trying start a discussion, deemed a 'troll'? What, have you nothing worthwhile to say, and turning tail to not have your own views challenged? Claiming the person as a 'troll', does not invalidate any of meaning said by the person being called 'troll'. It merely makes it out, that the caller has no noticeable retort, and world rather retreat. Also, if this has anything to do about making a note about being a dancer, while that note ties into everything. Human nature is very tied into that type of temptation, no matter how sophisticated the person, they have that weakness of human nature. As old as time.
Honestly, as a gen z, I feel like we’re so pressured. The government is screwed, the economy is screwed, and so are we, yet we’re expected to grow up and fix all this??
funky monke But this is the problem is everyone treats it as a joke, most people don’t take poverty/malnutrition seriously because it’s not happening to them in the Western Hemisphere 🤷♂️🤦♂️
This is such an underrated speech. That audience was most probably quiet because in all honestly nobody likes the truth. I can tell he was nervous but it made his speech somehow more compelling and meaningful.
I dont even know what gen im even in anymore. We were 90s babies. Which was gen x. Our parents were the baby boomers. Now we are millenials along with gen z???
I was mentally broken. My father noticed the change in my mood. He tried to talk to me about that, but every time I thought that i will cry and there is no worth of telling them they will not understand. But when my father asked me today I bursted in tears and spilled everything out of my heart. When my mother came and saw mw crying she yelled at me for crying and asked my father why was I crying. My father told her that I was under pressure for "studies" and was stressing out so bad. And can you imagine what my mother said???? Here are her words "You never focus on your studies and always on that damn phone and that is why on this point of time you have to get stressed to complete you left portion. " I have started to think that there is no point in living at all. Its like a dead soul with a half living body...
I hope you're doing a little better now. She probably can't remember what it was like when she was in school or just has no idea how to deal with the emotions of others and possibly herself. Strive to do what you can, take breathers, and just know that one day you'll have the ability to cut ties if she continues treating you this way. I have a narcissist as a dad so I know it can be hard.
Cling to your father. Tell your mother, with no accusation or anger in your voice, that she hurt your feelings and you don't want to be yelled at when your already hurt, and if she still doesn't seem to care ask her why she's yelling at you, and if yelling is her way of showing her love and care because if it is, that love and care is certainly not getting across. But seriously, cling to your dad, and try to be there for him in his troubles the way he tried to be there for yours. Also, I recommend you listen to the band BTS because they might help you have the words to express yourself.
Hey, I've been through this kinda thing, and all these comments are really helpful, but personally I was really angry because it almost seemed like they were making excuses and repeating the same things you try to tell yourself over an over like, "They were just raised in a different time," so if you want to be angry and vent don't worry about it, I got you.
I heard someone commit suicide and heard an elder one say "they died and left their loved ones at such a hard time. No kid should do that. They should tell things to their parents." And i felt the disgust. No one commits suicide without thinking about the things they are leaving their loved ones with. No one eventually goes like "bye i am leaving this world" and dies.. It takes so much effort. Every depressed persom thinks about their loved ones before they take such decision! They prevent themselves so much times just because they can give their people hard times due to their death but when no one feels like caring or giving a hand of help to them when they are down, they can't help it. They tried and tried and then made the decision. Suicide is not normal. If people cared more about someone who is living through everything hard, there would have been less chances of such cases. Everyone deserves a hug, no one deserves to die in this world by such causes at such young age.
I like "Tolerance is given, respect is earned". I respect everyone who respects me, and if someone disrespects me, I will tolerate them and accept their choices and our differences, but I don't have to respect them. Tolerance means that I will leave them alone and they can do whatever they want as long as it doesn't impede on the happiness of myself and others. It is their life after all and neither them nor me hold all the answers. If someone disrespects me and I notice that they are making an honest attempt to change and apologize, that is worthy of respect, because it takes immense guts to not just admit your shortcomings, but work on improving them. If, on the other hand, someone repeatedly disrespects me and keeps throwing empty apologies and platitudes my way, you can bet that even my tolerance will wear thin at some point, and that I will have no qualms about cutting that person out of my life for good. I tolerate their decisions, but I don't need them in my life. Life is too short to surround yourself with toxic people, but they are people nonetheless and deserve the base line of tolerance we afford to everyone. Anything above that is earned.
Boomers: "Gen Z is destroying our earth!" Also boomers: "Gen Z is gonna be the generation of change!" Like damn, pick an answer. Do you hate us or not?
I'd rather have them hate us and than having to keep changing their mind. At least we know exactly how they think of us now. We're walking on eggshells 24/7 and we don't know when to talk to the boomers because their mood swings are unpredictable. They're happy and 1 second later they're livid. "oh come on! Stop being so antisocial! Come out of your room and talk to your family!" They laugh at one thing then the next day that same thing just flips a switch on them and they just bash you. I just reluctantly accepted that I have a toxic family and my relationship with them is full of both, high notes and low notes.
And that, my friends, is what we call toxicity, sprinkled in with a little bit of emotional manipulation. In situations like these, we run fast and we run far, because in no way are we obligated to put up with that sort of bullcrap
Gen z then believes them and becomes mindless soldier drones or rebels and becomes suicidal and milinials complain and leave us in a polticaly correct mess
This whole comments section is just my generation patting itself on the back. Imma join it, The one thing I think Gen Z has over everyone else is acceptance, if someone is getting bullied, you know damn well his or her classmates are gonna shelter that person.
I’m with Nihlm on this. I’ve been bullied throughout the entirely of primary school and nobody helped me. Even throughout high school, the only time anyone cared was when I snapped, but I wasn't supported. We're definitely more accepting, but we aren’t handling bullying.
Nihlm I agree with you in my school people don’t really bully they just talk about you behind your back and judge you no one is rude to your face everyone is fake lol
i come from a small city in india and even here my classmates (junior year) and kids below us are pretty accepting its beautiful to see change happen at such low levels
Trigger Me6 Aww that’s cute. I actually skipped a grade for being so smart and have a gpa of 4.0. Yet here a boomer is telling me I have a IQ level of 25, if that were the case i wouldn’t even be able to figure out how to use this app. How old are you? Are you sure you’re not gen alpha?
Mom- “Go outside to play” Me “ Can I ride my bike to the park to meet my friends?” Mom- “ No it’s just to dangerous now a days to go outside like that”
Hearing that make me sad, growing up in the late 2000s. Never got chance to go out and play without parental supervision. That really made me sad as a child
2004. Honestly I don’t want much. I just want to not be interrupted when I speak. I want adults to listen to me or anyone else if we are right and their wrong. I just want to not be told that I’m wrong when I’m correct because of my age.
I feel this so damn hard. A person shouldn't be judged for their age or heritage, but their brains and actions. Being born in 2000 almost feels like being born was apparently just a disease to many others who are judgmental. Obviously not all older generations are judgmental and downright rude, but just enough are to brutally kill some people's hopes of being anything more than a failure. For example, the majority of older folks who surrounded my life growing up had already written me off. Being born on a bit of a pedestal in my community only worsened it so people simultaneously expected everything and nothing from me. I wish that people in general--not even only the older people--would drop their instinctual judgements on others and instead shape their views off of what individuals they meet are ACTUALLY like (instead of everything being assumption based). I know this was a bit of a long rant, but thanks if you read through it lol.
2005. Don’t compare us too you when you were younger. Don’t expect us too be like you because the world has changed, you can’t judge people who you never try to know
I would say the biggest problem in my generation is how hard it is to remain emotionally and mentally stable and also feeling like your parents are failing you cause you all never talk and yet Live in the same house
The "modern family" (in general) can't seem to put their cell phones down long enough to have a basic conversation about their days let alone a deep conversation about emotions. Gen Z isn't the only generation with a phone addiction problem.
VOI Personal problem, but either way most others with this problem is because of phones and gaming consoles 🤷🏻♂️. And I think the biggest problem with our generation is that nobody understands basic human nature. So touché I guess.

Gen X: “Why are you so lazy, unmotivated, and undisciplined? If you’re not going to college you need to work and save some money so that you can do the things you want to do later in life ” Gen Z: “It’s because of your parenting skills that I was never understood as a child and that I was never taught the skills to live a productive and healthy life. Why would I wait to do the things I want to do when I can do them now? Money is worthless if you’re doing a job that rips your soul every-time you do it.” Gen X: How dare you accuse us of not being good parents. You have a house to live under and food to eat. What more can you want from us? We’ve done everything for you and this is how you repay us? Gen Z: “I just want to live my life doing the things I love to do.” Gen X: “Well then do that while you’re making money at a stable union job.” Summary: Gen X: “Saving money more important than your aspirations and goals. You can’t blame us for you failures because you have all of the technology that gives you all of the answers to every problem ever.” Gen Z: “You expect us to be perfect children that never complain and do the right things even though we were never taught the skills to determine which is which. This technology is useless to us if we don’t have the support of our parents to help us along the way.”
Parents: "Hmm my child is depressed, let's take her laptop and phone so she wont be depressed" Child: cant talk to anyone because they donr have a way to do it privately Parents: "we have cured her depression"

I remember a baby boomer coming into my job to get help with a pc. She needed my help picking it out. I walked her around the displays, answered her questions, and as I was explaining this to her, she looked me dead in the face and said "well, you would know, wouldn't you? That's all your generation is good for anyway. But what was this port for again". For the record, it was a USB-C port, but my point is that we hear this kind of thing far too much and are simply expected to stand there and feel undervalued in out low paying jobs and take it with a smile. And then people wonder why we are so unhappy. I agree with EVERYTHING he said in this post, and I want to thank him for taking the time to talk about it. It's like my grandma said: "A whole generation can't raise another whole generation of failures without being worse failures themselves, and they need to stop projecting their standards and experiences onto other people who they don't apply to, especially their kids." She knows were are not failures, and the way her generation talks about us disgusts her. She's in awe of out intelligence, and when she talks about the future we have in store, it nearly makes her cry because she feels so bad for us because as bad as her life was, she knows that ours will be worse in ways she said she wouldn't wish on anyone. This video is so important. Thank you.

Whenever politics get brought up with family friends I always state my opinion and I always get shut down. It’s always “you’re too young to know what your talking about” but what? Suddenly I turn 18 and have a political opinion? Just because I’m young, just because I’m in gen z, i can’t be educated? My words don’t matter? My mom once told me during a fight to give her my phone bc I was “talking back” and she said the words “you don’t get to dictate your life. I do.” Why doesn’t my voice matter? Just because you don’t like what I have to say? What I do with my life? I’m tired of being “too young” to have an opinion. I’m tired of not being able to “dictate” my own life. I’m tired of feeling like I’m being OWNED. Like I’m just some piece of property or something, just because I’m in Gen z.
Then they hit you with the "You're life is actually really good we just need you to try!" and it's the most painful thing cause you believe then for no reason.
I completely agree. just because I'm young I don't understand politics and government. nobody wants to listen to what I have to say. They invalidate my emotions and opinions just because they think I'm too young to have them.
I’m not told directly that my opinion doesn’t matter, I just simply feel it when I state something during a large family dinner. I say what I want, than silence and they completely change the subject or over talk me :) because I’m young and shouldn’t be dealing with problems like this. Well who’s going to deal with them if not US gen z? I believe in us, because we dare to dream beyond limit. I’m proud of us, keep going everyone! Sending love
Exactly, adults don’t seem to understand this isn’t the same world they grew up in. There have been times where I’ve had to ask my mother for help on school work, and she told me she didn’t learn that in school. We're expected to know more, and we have much higher expectations for how we handle ourselves.
And to add insult to injury, it could get annoying and stressful to hear to be seen as a liability from the people who criticize this generation, it seems as if you're in a microscope and one mistake you make will be used against you

“Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.” --George Orwell *basically my way of saying 'ok boomer'
I recently read The diary of a young girl:Anne Frank... I realised that even her generation has the same problems like our generation and none has been able to confide in their parents. Now it's not a matter of generation because she and us are so many years apart. There must be a reason. There must be a fault .. WE ought to find that. THE ADULTS TREAT US LIKE KIDS, BUT EXPECT US TO BEHAVE LIKE GROWN UPS..... Edit:7-01-20. I will keep editing and updating until it has reached others so an answer can be found.
the answer is from a famous quote, can't quote it atm but it goes a lil bit something like this "the generation before us believe they are smarter and more intelligent than us and we believe we are smarter and more intelligent than the on coming after" so every generation thus far knows that there was faulty thinking in the earlier generation, since most in the same generation can agree that they know they're not that bad. But the big problem is that they don't acknowledge that that faulty thinking travels to each generation whether you want it or not, it's not a matter of not adopting it, it's a matter of learning to erase it.

I'm on track to medical school, treasurer in national honors society, hold a position in student council, have lettered in math league 4 years in a row, took college classes in high school, forsook my social life completely for academics, and still my parents say I'm lazy and have everything easy. I'm not getting a cent from them for college, I've worked a part time job for years while applying for every scholarship and grant in the country, just to go home and see my dad's disappointed face. I can officially say at this point, they are just a-holes and can't be satisfied. Forget what your parents want for you, do what makes you happy.

Also I’m sorry to my parents if I made them miserable but it was also their decision to have us they should’ve realized that having a child is a lot of work, which is why millennials are actually smart enough to invest a lot of time and money into their children.

Okay here’s the thing Gen Z consists predominately of teenagers and children. How can you begin to judge a generation who hasn’t even had a chance to make their mark on the world yet? They’re all too young. Sure, maybe in 10/15 years you can start making judgements, but until the majority of them are adults, you can’t judge them as such. You’re all comparing them to gen x,y and millennials when probably 1/8 of them are even old enough to get jobs. Many of these traits are typical of a teenager. Gen Z are being judged on their ability to be productive adults before they’re even of age, which has never been the case before. I think y’all need to let them live a little. Because the addition of technology doesn’t give them the chance to prove themselves at ten years old.
Riley H damn... my teen hood in a nutshell, I’m a 21 year old Gen Z baby and I grew up raising my brothers when my mom would drink and gamble, I was raised by my grandmother, I was sheltered and stuck being either grounded and only school was refuge, and when I was with grandma I learned much more than school ever could, my mom is a Millennial from 1980 my dad at least was a great father and gave me wisdom he’s from Gen X, not only could I use my phone to contact him, it was my ONLY way to contact him for the majority and when I did see him it was rough to leave him behind and when his grandma died in 2014 he moved to South Dakota so now I only can talk on the phone so I rarely see him (I’m glad he found away to come to my graduation) but that life never stopped me from finding what I love to do, Animate, make music, and play video games and hope to make them and critique some. I developed my own self worth after I got married and branched away from my mom to live with my wonderful wife! Things have been rough and are still rough, I lost most of my wiser and kinder relatives including that grandma I mentioned, I have no grandfathers they all died when I was stupidly young, I was raised by women with no real father figures in person just over the phone or having an abusive stepfather that went crazy because of my mom. So in short before it gets even more crazy, I as a Gen Z “delinquent” have found refuge in creating my own worlds as many before me had and will continue to do. God as my witness I will complete my goal and finish what I started 10 years ago and make my series a real thing and show the world what I have to tell even if it means it was all for nothing, I only wish to finish it after so much dedication and hard work.

We are overloaded, stressed to the breaking point, given ZERO help for mental health, usually only one (not trained) counselor PER SCHOOL! Half of us want to die everyday and 3/4 of us have extreme anxiety disorders. And we are expected to do MORE the past generations. My parents tell me that there’s nothing to be stressed about. Ok, is 2 papers, read 2 books, 7 pages of math work, with 6 extra worksheets, a science worksheet and lab, history notes, and vocabulary not stressful enough? Oh I forgot, keeping a social profile, keeping up with friends so they don’t ditch you, look right, talk right, hope you don’t look too tired, tell you parents you’re fine, mental breakdowns in school, trying not to fail but you don’t understand, depression in quarantine, the struggle to get out of bed in the morning.....
is it not enough

@@hllyenaylleth9576 Who said they did so happily? Japan happens to have the highest suicide rates. Besides, war time and assignments are not comparable. Also being overloaded with work is a perfectly valid reason to be stressed. Not only do we feel overwhelmed, but we also end up sacrificing too much personal time, missing out on family events and holidays, blowing off friends and families, losing relationships and friendships due to distance, etc., all just to keep up with assignments and stay on top of the class. Lack of human interaction, personal time with hobbies, and hygiene is really bad for one's mental health, and it also causes the type of loneliness that hits you like a truck and eats you inside at 3am when you've finally finished the assignments and studying you started at 5pm.
Please do not downplay the mental health effects caused by being overworked at school.

I can see how that is difficult, given the massive strides made in the past 200 years, particularly the past twenty years. What else is left to create?

Me: why couldn't I play outside when I was younger?
Dad: who were you gonna play with?
Me: the neighborhood kids...
Dad: there was no one for you to play with...
Me: Micky was 2 years older than me, Amanda was also 2 years older than me, Ernie was 1 year younger than me, his brother was a bit older than me ...there was everyone for me to play with
Dad: ...your mom was the one that didn't let you play with them

Just because you recycle, and feel proud about it, doesn't allow you the right to mock against the younger generation still learning how to, quote on quote, "put out the fire", live their life, and meet the expectations of their parents. People like you ARE the reason why we, the gen Z, don't know how to put out the fire. Have you ever thought of teaching us how to do taxes? How to find and seize opportunities to live bigger lives? How to learn to forgive parents who act like you, raising the bar so high for their childrens' achievements? No, you have not.
How I see it is: If you’re apart of Gen Z (as myself), then you’re in the “Can’t Sleep because Everything Is Constantly Changing and It’s Eat or Be Eaten” Era. With the access of so much information, can you honestly expect us to never be doing anything? I could do everything on my phone from reading books to submitting digital paperwork to applying for jobs. The possibilities are endless. To add onto that, it means school curriculums are steadily growing. You quite literally cannot rest too much or you’ll fall behind. God forbid we do get a chance to rest and you see it as not using time constructively. At this rate, your child needs to know the fundamentals of Quantum Physics the moment they pop out the womb.
As much as I’m motivated to do better and actively be better, I get tired too. Shoot! I haven’t even properly started college yet. Can I get a chance to make mistakes? The answer is no. We’re expected to just _know_ and stay 16 steps ahead of problems. Like I said though, I get tired too.... and I’m pretty sure most of the Generation is still in school....
Exactly! I felt like this when I was back in school, and I got too overwhelmed because there was so much I needed to do to keep up with everyone and I didn't give myself time to rest, and I suffered so much because of it. From my mental declining to my physical health declining to my social life, everything was falling apart and I had no support from my family and society (the exception being a few of my friends and teachers whom I've made connections with). Up to this day, whenever I make mistakes at home, I always get shouted at even though I usually learn from all my mistakes after making them once or twice, but I wouldn't have learnt anything if I didn't make these mistakes in the first place! And even after I learned my lesson, I still made some mistakes because of how tired I was and how there never seemed to be an end to the things I need to do so I can finally get the rest I need, or to do research on stuff I don't know but am pressured to just automatically *know*... It's exhausting honestly
True true. I am in 8th grade and got to bed at 1 am this morning and I started my homework/studying as soon as I got home. Give us a chance to breathe!!! It's break now (today was last day) and now I need to start projects and preparation for next semester
Edit was because I put 7th grade instead of 8th grade. I had to catch my bus at six thirty am too, you can tell I'm tired. I got about five hours of sleep
I am 14 and SO tired, my teachers even tell me to rest and don’t study too hard, but I can’t!
It's 2:30 on a school night and I'm up revising for a chemistry test whilst also worrying about the future. They always tell us mental health is more important than school work until it comes down to actually doing the schoolwork. It's either get it done or get a detention. Over the last couple of weeks I have slowly but surely regressed into the worst mental state I think I've ever been in and no one's even noticed because I'm fine on the outside but then it's the evening and I honestly completely lose my will to live. If that doesn't sum up our generation I don't know what does.
I’m still in 6th, just turned twelve, you know what though? I had eye bags 4 in fourth grade, they haven’t gone away. I’ve been keeping all of my grades above 90 get upset that my PE GRADE is at 80 because I need to better to survive and I know that,. When I was EIGHT I had ADULTS talking bad about me and I didn’t even know. I could go on and on but I need to do all of my home tasks in 5 hours, as I come home from school at 5 in the afternoon

Old videos talk about how "the next generation will save the world" and "our kids will do great things" all the way back to the start of video. Newspapers and books printed the same sentiments even farther back.
It's been a game of pass the buck for well over a hundred years.
"I couldn't do it, so I'll pass the buck to my kid. Surely they can do what i couldn't."
No. You want us to do what you procrastinated on and now that the time limit to get it done is coming to an end you can't decide if we're gonna be great and fix it or if we've failed to do it in time.
The problem isn't us, it's YOU for putting the whole world in our laps and doing nothing to help.
YOU failed and now you're yelling at US for YOUR failures???
Shut up and get to work. If you want us to save the world then start being a better example of what you expect us to do about it because WE'RE NOT THE ONES WITH ALL THE POWER.

Whether I'm the wealthy entitled one or the poor scapegoated kid of them. My kids would be gen alpha, if I ever wanted to subject them to this world.

@@bisexial_disaster2795 exactly
@JackOfSpades My old English teacher complained to the entire class about the students not respecting her, then she proceeded to yell at a student for giving her attitude... it was literally just the way he spoke and he'd been in her class all year.
@JackOfSpades I'm legit in the same situation. My grandpa is very rude in a lot of ways. I understand that my grandpa has been through a lot of things and his life hasn't been the easiest, but that's no excuse to treat someone badly. My mom tells me to respect him, but I think about it just like how elementary school taught us. "Treat others the way you want to be treated." Funny how the ones teaching us are the ones that can't follow their own advice. I really agree that it goes both ways, again, you give what you get. I hope that both our families one day understand
My logic is simple. If u want respect from me, u have to earn it. It's not like every elder in this world is worth respect.

You know it's awful when even children are committing suicide/seriously thinking about it.
Please, stop this mess.
well at least i managed to recover from that fÆces
It has happened in the past too media just covered it up
I heard someone commit suicide and heard an elder one say "they died and left their loved ones at such a hard time. No kid should do that. They should tell things to their parents." And i felt the disgust. No one commits suicide without thinking about the things they are leaving their loved ones with. No one eventually goes like "bye i am leaving this world" and dies.. It takes so much effort. Every depressed persom thinks about their loved ones before they take such decision! They prevent themselves so much times just because they can give their people hard times due to their death but when no one feels like caring or giving a hand of help to them when they are down, they can't help it. They tried and tried and then made the decision. Suicide is not normal. If people cared more about someone who is living through everything hard, there would have been less chances of such cases. Everyone deserves a hug, no one deserves to die in this world by such causes at such young age.
"Are should respect your elders."
Change that to "You should respect your young folk just as much as elders.
Respect your elders is just a ploy so we don’t argue and back the older people into a corner
I like "Tolerance is given, respect is earned". I respect everyone who respects me, and if someone disrespects me, I will tolerate them and accept their choices and our differences, but I don't have to respect them. Tolerance means that I will leave them alone and they can do whatever they want as long as it doesn't impede on the happiness of myself and others. It is their life after all and neither them nor me hold all the answers. If someone disrespects me and I notice that they are making an honest attempt to change and apologize, that is worthy of respect, because it takes immense guts to not just admit your shortcomings, but work on improving them. If, on the other hand, someone repeatedly disrespects me and keeps throwing empty apologies and platitudes my way, you can bet that even my tolerance will wear thin at some point, and that I will have no qualms about cutting that person out of my life for good. I tolerate their decisions, but I don't need them in my life. Life is too short to surround yourself with toxic people, but they are people nonetheless and deserve the base line of tolerance we afford to everyone. Anything above that is earned.
Justa_SnowMoth BLM You can’t back them into a corner mainly because of little lines like, “Is that backtalk, boy?” And of course “Respect your elders”

I think you might be thinking of baby boomers but it’s fine
Yes from my experience at work, older people are typically more entitled, and more likely to throw a fit.
This whole comments section is just my generation patting itself on the back. Imma join it, The one thing I think Gen Z has over everyone else is acceptance, if someone is getting bullied, you know damn well his or her classmates are gonna shelter that person.
Maybe where you live, but where I live people still love bullying people just because they disagree on something that doesn't even matter
I’m with Nihlm on this. I’ve been bullied throughout the entirely of primary school and nobody helped me. Even throughout high school, the only time anyone cared was when I snapped, but I wasn't supported.
We're definitely more accepting, but we aren’t handling bullying.
Nihlm I agree with you in my school people don’t really bully they just talk about you behind your back and judge you no one is rude to your face everyone is fake lol

i come from a small city in india and even here my classmates (junior year) and kids below us are pretty accepting its beautiful to see change happen at such low levels

2004. Honestly I don’t want much. I just want to not be interrupted when I speak. I want adults to listen to me or anyone else if we are right and their wrong. I just want to not be told that I’m wrong when I’m correct because of my age.
Don't tell us to learn about the world, then condemn us for talking about changing the world.
I feel this so damn hard. A person shouldn't be judged for their age or heritage, but their brains and actions. Being born in 2000 almost feels like being born was apparently just a disease to many others who are judgmental. Obviously not all older generations are judgmental and downright rude, but just enough are to brutally kill some people's hopes of being anything more than a failure. For example, the majority of older folks who surrounded my life growing up had already written me off. Being born on a bit of a pedestal in my community only worsened it so people simultaneously expected everything and nothing from me. I wish that people in general--not even only the older people--would drop their instinctual judgements on others and instead shape their views off of what individuals they meet are ACTUALLY like (instead of everything being assumption based). I know this was a bit of a long rant, but thanks if you read through it lol.

I would say the biggest problem in my generation is how hard it is to remain emotionally and mentally stable and also feeling like your parents are failing you cause you all never talk and yet Live in the same house
That´s a personal problem, not a generation problem.
True for me too. My parents are always working and we don't talk that often.
The "modern family" (in general) can't seem to put their cell phones down long enough to have a basic conversation about their days let alone a deep conversation about emotions. Gen Z isn't the only generation with a phone addiction problem.
I just don’t like talking to my parents. I don’t enjoy it.
VOI Personal problem, but either way most others with this problem is because of phones and gaming consoles 🤷🏻♂️. And I think the biggest problem with our generation is that nobody understands basic human nature. So touché I guess.

Gen X: “Why are you so lazy, unmotivated, and undisciplined? If you’re not going to college you need to work and save some money so that you can do the things you want to do later in life ”
Gen Z: “It’s because of your parenting skills that I was never understood as a child and that I was never taught the skills to live a productive and healthy life. Why would I wait to do the things I want to do when I can do them now? Money is worthless if you’re doing a job that rips your soul every-time you do it.”
Gen X: How dare you accuse us of not being good parents. You have a house to live under and food to eat. What more can you want from us? We’ve done everything for you and this is how you repay us?
Gen Z: “I just want to live my life doing the things I love to do.”
Gen X: “Well then do that while you’re making money at a stable union job.”
Summary:
Gen X: “Saving money more important than your aspirations and goals. You can’t blame us for you failures because you have all of the technology that gives you all of the answers to every problem ever.”
Gen Z: “You expect us to be perfect children that never complain and do the right things even though we were never taught the skills to determine which is which. This technology is useless to us if we don’t have the support of our parents to help us along the way.”

I remember a baby boomer coming into my job to get help with a pc. She needed my help picking it out. I walked her around the displays, answered her questions, and as I was explaining this to her, she looked me dead in the face and said "well, you would know, wouldn't you? That's all your generation is good for anyway. But what was this port for again". For the record, it was a USB-C port, but my point is that we hear this kind of thing far too much and are simply expected to stand there and feel undervalued in out low paying jobs and take it with a smile. And then people wonder why we are so unhappy. I agree with EVERYTHING he said in this post, and I want to thank him for taking the time to talk about it.
It's like my grandma said: "A whole generation can't raise another whole generation of failures without being worse failures themselves, and they need to stop projecting their standards and experiences onto other people who they don't apply to, especially their kids." She knows were are not failures, and the way her generation talks about us disgusts her. She's in awe of out intelligence, and when she talks about the future we have in store, it nearly makes her cry because she feels so bad for us because as bad as her life was, she knows that ours will be worse in ways she said she wouldn't wish on anyone.

Whenever politics get brought up with family friends I always state my opinion and I always get shut down. It’s always “you’re too young to know what your talking about” but what? Suddenly I turn 18 and have a political opinion? Just because I’m young, just because I’m in gen z, i can’t be educated? My words don’t matter?
My mom once told me during a fight to give her my phone bc I was “talking back” and she said the words “you don’t get to dictate your life. I do.” Why doesn’t my voice matter? Just because you don’t like what I have to say? What I do with my life?
I’m tired of being “too young” to have an opinion. I’m tired of not being able to “dictate” my own life. I’m tired of feeling like I’m being OWNED. Like I’m just some piece of property or something, just because I’m in Gen z.
Then they hit you with the "You're life is actually really good we just need you to try!" and it's the most painful thing cause you believe then for no reason.
That's rough man. All I can say is that if you need someone to bring in support, just read this comment section.
@L' Immortale in simple terms, my parents are very conservative and closed minded whereas I am not and my opinions differ greatly from theirs
I completely agree. just because I'm young I don't understand politics and government. nobody wants to listen to what I have to say. They invalidate my emotions and opinions just because they think I'm too young to have them.
I’m not told directly that my opinion doesn’t matter, I just simply feel it when I state something during a large family dinner. I say what I want, than silence and they completely change the subject or over talk me :) because I’m young and shouldn’t be dealing with problems like this.

THE ADULTS TREAT US LIKE KIDS, BUT EXPECT US TO BEHAVE LIKE GROWN UPS.....
Edit:7-01-20. I will keep editing and updating until it has reached others so an answer can be found.
the answer is from a famous quote, can't quote it atm but it goes a lil bit something like this "the generation before us believe they are smarter and more intelligent than us and we believe we are smarter and more intelligent than the on coming after" so every generation thus far knows that there was faulty thinking in the earlier generation, since most in the same generation can agree that they know they're not that bad. But the big problem is that they don't acknowledge that that faulty thinking travels to each generation whether you want it or not, it's not a matter of not adopting it, it's a matter of learning to erase it.

They expect us to grow up and then when we act like grown ups by having political views they tell us to shut up like okay....
Also I’m sorry to my parents if I made them miserable but it was also their decision to have us they should’ve realized that having a child is a lot of work, which is why millennials are actually smart enough to invest a lot of time and money into their children.
@@phantasmtheater6015 shut up boomer...
I am 12 still not a teen yet...
My mom tells me eachtime to stop acting as a little kid.
I love to collect stuff animals and baby toys(like again stuff animals and soft blankets)
My family expects me to be a doctor to serve this would since i know alot about medics and cancer and harmful leads of products being used to link to cancer.
Everyone’s talking about the actual topic but I’m just here sad that no one even gave the tiniest giggle when he made a joke ;-;
A person that was there said in the comments that the audience was small and the auditorium was big. They also said smthg about the mics.

Also it's a bunch of school students. You're normally told to listen as the number one priority and be quiet so others can listen

Probably useless, but if you wanna talk, I'm here. Hope you doing better!
im sorry for you. i wish you the best.
Okay here’s the thing Gen Z consists predominately of teenagers and children. How can you begin to judge a generation who hasn’t even had a chance to make their mark on the world yet? They’re all too young. Sure, maybe in 10/15 years you can start making judgements, but until the majority of them are adults, you can’t judge them as such. You’re all comparing them to gen x,y and millennials when probably 1/8 of them are even old enough to get jobs. Many of these traits are typical of a teenager. Gen Z are being judged on their ability to be productive adults before they’re even of age, which has never been the case before. I think y’all need to let them live a little. Because the addition of technology doesn’t give them the chance to prove themselves at ten years old.
Riley H damn... my teen hood in a nutshell, I’m a 21 year old Gen Z baby and I grew up raising my brothers when my mom would drink and gamble, I was raised by my grandmother, I was sheltered and stuck being either grounded and only school was refuge, and when I was with grandma I learned much more than school ever could, my mom is a Millennial from 1980 my dad at least was a great father and gave me wisdom he’s from Gen X, not only could I use my phone to contact him, it was my ONLY way to contact him for the majority and when I did see him it was rough to leave him behind and when his grandma died in 2014 he moved to South Dakota so now I only can talk on the phone so I rarely see him (I’m glad he found away to come to my graduation) but that life never stopped me from finding what I love to do, Animate, make music, and play video games and hope to make them and critique some. I developed my own self worth after I got married and branched away from my mom to live with my wonderful wife! Things have been rough and are still rough, I lost most of my wiser and kinder relatives including that grandma I mentioned, I have no grandfathers they all died when I was stupidly young, I was raised by women with no real father figures in person just over the phone or having an abusive stepfather that went crazy because of my mom. So in short before it gets even more crazy, I as a Gen Z “delinquent” have found refuge in creating my own worlds as many before me had and will continue to do. God as my witness I will complete my goal and finish what I started 10 years ago and make my series a real thing and show the world what I have to tell even if it means it was all for nothing, I only wish to finish it after so much dedication and hard work.
Actually Gen Z also consists of young adults (basically college kids) oldest 23 to children (ages 6-17) youngest 6
The youngest person in gen z is 10 the oldest is 24
dabdab bamham no the oldest of generation z are 23 years olds born in 1995. The youngest of Gez Z are 6 year olds born in 2012.
Im in middle school and I was on a vid and one guy told me after I said I was in middle school that I was a "pansy" and no one wanted to hear it until "I actually did sonething important". Once again I am in middle school but I plan to be an author and go to college for business. I had already told him this and I was like???? What do you want from me? Im pretty sure this guy probably didnt do anything to amazing in middle school either tbh.
"he was worried about him starting a pandemic"

I was searching for this comment
*speed run music playing*
It sad how our ancestors have caused so many problems that that's like the only thing we can talk about these days. Like no one actually talks about anything positive these days we all have anxiety and depression and we're ok with it
We use our anxiety and depression to build a community when we aren't supposed to be anxious/depressed in the first place.
We accept your apology. Thank you so much Nathaniel Turner. I get quite a lot of comments about how I'm too distracted, or I need constant entertainment. I'm 14. What do you expect me to do, stare at a wall for three hours? We may crave attention, but at least we're accepting of people of different races, sexualities, gender, etc.
👍🏼
Same age here
What other gender. I'm 16 and as far as I know it is male or female, nothing else.
cringe department?
Jose Fernandez What about non-binary people?
My master plan consists of the following: Waiting till all the old people die, Take over the world, eat pizza rolls for every meal.
We could make a religion out of this.
No, don't.
