- Is the younger generation (Gen Z and Millennials) too "weak" to cope with life?
In this video, we explore the perceptions of Gen Z and Millennials, addressing the so-called 'generation wars' and societal labels like the 'snowflake generation.' We discuss mental health awareness, societal pressures, and the real challenges faced by today's young generation.
Let's talk about the issues Gen Z and Millennials face, and why understanding these dynamics is crucial for bridging generational gaps and fostering empathy in our society.

What are your thoughts on this?
actually i also had thoughts on the look of the thumbnail... 😬😳
And the doubtful inspiration of the video.. 😟
I think this video is a great summary of our situation. Thank you !😀🥰
God saved his strongest souls for the last day's. Today's kids have to be stronger because there is far more temptation eg drugs, sexual confusion and immorality encouraged in schools, grooming gangs and terrorists to fear.
Partly true perhaps, but education has been a basic right for over 100 years.
But our generation was immunized differently. We never feel offended. We were allowed to play outside, cycle without bicycle helmets, skateboard without protection, etc. But we didn't have these damn screens with connectivity all the time.
The style looks like it’s from a certain RUclipsr-
The generational war is getting annoying at this point, because nobody wants to admit that every generation before and after us has and will have their flaws.
exactly like every generation hates eachother atp
Welcome to gen alpha 🙂
It’s not that, they have power while we’re young and they don’t think about US - they only think of the old, rich people and that leaves the rest of us in shambles. They have social security, we don’t - so our future is already harder to begin with, they did that to us.
@@fablethewolf825your gen wants the proper labels but i guarantee it wasn't a baby boomer talking to you but you call anyone even your own age ppl boomers , did you teach yourself calculus by yourself with just a book? Or could you do that with just one book?
@@fablethewolf825right but was it a boomer, r u mislabeling someone n innit wat ur gen is so passionate about eh correct labels of ppl , I'll bet it wasn't a baby boomer talking to you , u kids call ppl your age or a younger or older a boomer , ur using that boomer to call someone a stupid f* that doesn't know anything eh , we all know this n it's just some gens do nothing in the grande picture

Not Gen Alpha 😭😭😭
@@kay.kai_0 even them
The only reason that some of them are having the problems that they do with being addicted to technology is because of the terrible parenting that some people practice but not every child is experiencing that so over generalizing an entire generation is indeed stupid
@@Finalizor as a member of Gen Z, I suggest inventing a license for having kids. Honestly, not every parents deserve children. Especially now, when many of them just shove their own children away to the internet, instead of actually trying to somehow raise them.
@goldiefoggy I call it Generational entitlement Or generational Superiority And I do believe it is per generation past and future.
Adults - Think children nowadays spend too long on mobile devices.
Also adults - Are usually on their phones just as much, if not more.
You do have to be more careful with kids though because they are easily influenced more so than most adults imo
People need to realise that there are scientists actively working at making us addicted to our phones and ultra processed food.
@@Finalizor That's not an opinion, that's just a fact. Both personal experience *and* research done by professionals can prove this equally as much as the other can.
@@Finalizor Yeah but most adults complain about screentime in general, which can count towards offline games.
Mom is 56 and she can’t stay out of people my age drama, business social media it’s embarrassing
I get annoyed just because I haven’t even entered college yet and I keep getting told my generation is the worst ever.
Dude, I haven’t even gotten a chance to screw up yet. Be patient at least.
I just wanna be happy and be the man I wanna be.
If it makes you feel better, ten years ago, the narrative was the same for millennials being the worst. Don't listen and make your own path.
@@unknownone5314 hell yeah, brother! You too!
Yep- happened the same for the millennials. and queue up 10 years of old people complaining about how you 'destroyed the napkin industry' and other such bullshit.
In my experience, I’ve met people from today’s generation that are very critical and judgmental. I’ve also met people from the older generation that could be like this. But, I’ve met people from the older generation, and the younger generation, who are kind, understanding, and willing to learn things. In my experience, it’s really the person. I’ve met some people in today’s generation that frowned upon things, like struggling, crying, and even quirkiness. I’ve heard about people from today’s generation that don’t take mental health seriously. I’m sure it’s even happened in the older generation too. I don’t doubt that for a minute.
totally agree! Everyone is always different than the other one, which is absolutely okay. But putting one thing (in our case- generations) into one limited box is insane!
@@user-in3nm4vm1t exactly.
At this point the meaning of generation is just a group of people facing similar problems😁
"your generation is too weak" -people from the 90s,80s,70s,60s,50s,40s,30s,20,
The same people who are gen zer's who say that would not last in the past
@tobiaslawrence8928 those same people in the past would last today.
It is easier to point fingers than to look at oneself.
@@reinaldomartinez13 would or wouldn't?
And yet depression and suicide rates continue to climb higher and higher despite western people being the most privileged in the world…
I mean it’s kinda true from my experience but the older guys never wanna take responsibility for raising us to be the way they don’t like.
Probably because it’s so easy for a kid to be rebellious in this generation. Some things you raised yourself to be like so some of the responsibility is on you as well.

Yes, a lot millenials and gen z do stay on our phones way too much, have a hard time holding down a job and can be very fragile emotionally. But a lot of gen X were getting hooked on every drug known to man, having babies left and right then losing them to DHS. A lot of baby boomers were alcoholics, felons and completely sold their soul to religion (I'm a Christian and can still see that.) But does that make older generations bad? No. Does it make us so weak and worthless? No. Each generation has their own problems to work through and challenges to face. The older generations cant look at us and think we're so much worse and so weak, but we also cant shift the blame to them for where we're at in life. The problems always come from social, economic, snd leadership structures. We're all on this sinking ship of a planet together and instead of always pointing fingers we all need to show love, kindness, understanding and offer guidance to each other.
I've been scrolling through this comment section for almost twenty minutes now, and this is the first balanced take I've seen that doesn't prevent to pointing fingers and calling names. Great points on both sides
@@randomperson4915 Thank you I do appreciate that :) I just know we've all had our junk to deal with no matter who we are or what generation we're from. To me topics like this should be to point fingers, it should be to open eyes and help us all realize none of us or better or worse than anyone else. We're all people plain and simple
I would love less finger pointing and more kindness, understanding and forgiveness going around. I’m tired of feeling like a criminal just because I’m young and don’t know how to act like a mature adult.
"But a lot of gen X were getting hooked on every drug known to man, having babies left and right then losing them to DHS." ROFL! Oh were we now? This is news to me, and I lived through it.... I mean how is it that I'm middle-aged and are just hearing about how we Gen-Xers were all junkies and all the people of my generation that I know (lots!) who never had kids must have in reality all been having stealth pregnancies so they could give them away to DHS? Wow... and to think it took us until 2024 to find all this out... But go on! Tell us more! I promise I won't even make any MEH-llinneal and Generation Zero jokes while you tell me all about this fascinating shit... I mean stuff about myself that i never knew!
This habit of underestimating new generations is like a cycle that is been repeating on the last decades. We have to stop that.
Facts underestimating our generation's skills is not a good thing
As a millennial:
I hope that those in the younger generations know that it's okay to not have it all figured out. You're young. No one knows what they're doing. But someday, certain things will click and make sense. And you'll have a better sense of yourself.
Just surround yourself with people that make you happiest, and do things that bring you joy.
You'll be okay. 💜
This! Of course a group of teens will not single-handedly solve all the worlds problems. But at least they TRY! And some of them will fail, and learn and try again. And that is a GOOD thing!
Thanks bro
Man, I am a millennial and I am STILL figuring out my life 🤌
☺️ thanks
i'm a gen z i've been depressed about life for years and i've seen it on the people my age they think so much and care so much about so many issues that are too big and out of our control. and i can admit our naivety is wanting to solve them all. and i personally so deeply affected by the world's condition and other people's sufferings. i know i can't save everyone but what's the point of being happy if people on the other side of the world are trying to live minute by minute. i'm a law student and i love what i study but it depresses me even more after learning more about how corrupt our system is and that justice is bullshit. i don't know how to face life, and i keep wondering what's the point of all this. i don't want to live but i don't want to die anyway. i still try my hardest to do the best everyday but there's always a voice in my head saying "none of this will matter". i feel that life is a rigged game yet i'm here already and there's nothing i can do. especially with how the media feed us with bad news 24/7 and the boomers keep belittling our struggles (not all, i know) it's been hard. i hope the old gens know we're trying hard to do something about it and please, just be patient with us
NEVER blame children for their flaws, it is ALWAYS the lacking of the parents. We abdicated being parents and let computers raise the children. It is hard to be totally ready for reality when a person is in a virtual world.
Yes you're right
Not always parents are at fault, it can be the environment, more competetive and toxic spirit of modern world
The complexity of generational problem is multisided and rebranded with each new era. Just something to note!🍹
@@BurBurGerHamCotCotCybercotleta Correct, I was referring to the composite generation responsible for their young. Thanks for pointing that out.
We have been trying to separate adults from their children since the beginning because it makes better workers, not better humans. They don’t want better humans because then things would have to be different
@@justanamerican9024 cheers
I feel like every previous generation always thinks they're the elite one and better than the next which obviously isn't true. Every generation has it's good and bad
Young people and old people are all screwed when a 1 bedroom apartment takes a full month above minimum wage and leaves you with nothing for bills or food.
I am slowly losing more hope every day and I feel very alone in it all. I wish I had someone's hand to hold, someone to understand me and tell me I will be okay. Now I'm just some loser who falls at everything. I make fun of myself just to be accepted.
Don't give up i believe in u! 🤍
I think its time to seek out mental health therapy. If you can find it where you live. Your words make it sound like you are seriously struggling mentally. If Im wrong then ignore this. Cheers
Feeling pain or lonely is natural at times. Even its not easy hard times are not unbeatable. I believe in you!
Same condition bruuh😢.
We can become friends. But I think that course of being introvert.
With this video, it kinda feels like each generation is getting “softer” by having expanding enough knowledge, education, & open mindedness to see what went wrong & how we can improve as a society and humanity as a whole.😊
Some individuals think this is stupid and criminal. How dare we expand!?
@@rnbsteenstarhow dare we get tired of pretending like everything is ok
This!
Pretending everything is ok (just to not offend others) never solves a problem. We need to call out what is wrong. Otherwise nothing will ever get better.
@@avengedprophet1559Discussions like this can help. Blaming other generations can't.
@@hshjdjs3829 pretending that everything's okay when it's plainly the opposite.
People are just people in any generation. There will be high and low achievers no matter what. people will face different challenges and respond differently and have different strengths and weaknesses.
I'm glad I lived through the early 2000s where the whole point of young people was to be young. Nowadays, it repels me seeing a person of my age that's not capable of proper communication without a phone, who supports obviously harmful ways and has no sense of responsibility. On the other hand, I don't believe the older generations are saints. It really feels like couples from 20th century intended to spawn kids as a stress relief from job, rather then raising them as their successors. Lack of guidance is one factor, but older generation can't really teach every up-to-date stuff, since they're not experienced or deliberately avoid it. I hope there'll be a period where older generation can flawlessly pass the torch to the young, so they can make them, themselves and their ancestors proud.
Honestly, well said. When you look at it generationwise, social media and the rise of the internet is an incredibly recent phenomenon that we haven't had time to regulate or study the long-term effects of. The clash between these two generations feels like the result of two radically different lifestyles, one that changed out of nowhere and gave everyone totally different ways of living life.
I'm getting annoyed with people saying our generation is weak as they think they don't have flaws themselves. I'm young but I try my best to improve and learn
As a Gen X latch key kid, the younger generations were too sheltered and didn't have the opportunity to learn to deal with real life stuff.
However, the world is also a much harder place to live than it was for the boomers
My thought is that it’s the previous generations’ faults if they put the younger generations into ever worsening conditions (pandemics, growing unemployment, low possibility for marriage and having children, wars, crushing financial problems, hyper competition, “community welfare over individual welfare”, etc.) and expect the latter to clean up the former’s mess with no guidance or direction, just because they are “no longer able to do so”, as they excuse themselves.
2:36 here I'd like to add that ever since mental health/health awareness increased, and we started adding and asking for visible TW's and FW's, people started calling us "too sensitive"because we find "everything offensive and triggering".. yeah, sorry Susan, having basic human sympathy and empathy and not wanting to trigger anyone's panick/epilepsy attack, which to some (God forbid) might be deadly is soo overly sensitive of me, my bad
Those same people complained about violence in comic books and on TV too, and instituted the rating system as a form of censorship. Next time the Trigger warning conversation comes up, I might ask if they feel that TV ratings should be removed along with child safe streaming profiles. After all, if a trigger warning for content makes people 'weak', then we shouldn't have rating systems for the same reason.
@@aceofspades9503 right? At this point they could let their kids watch the maze runner or something like that since "warnings are for the sensitive" and "new generations need to be raised right"
All I can say to the young generation are weak comment, is that there is a problem in a society where I can make more money working for myself mowing yards, than I can make working as an electrical engineer. That is what kind of job conditions we are facing now. Level 1 EE: 65,000K a year. Mowing yards in my area in comparison I can charge a contract price and average 60 dollars an hour. That is roughly 120,000 a year if I work a 40-hour week. Ponder on that. I also see very few boomers on jobs really working physically harder that the younger generation. They boss people around more, but they don't actually ever do more. In my experience.
There's also an argument about people going indie, simply for the fact that the profits are yours in the end, and the fear of being laid off is nowhere.
It also gives room for creative control. Speaking of other freelance tasks...
It's hard to find a good one, and a worthy platform.
If you break down the average Boomer work day. you'll find a dozen water cooler breaks, a dozen smoke breaks (different than the water cooler), several hours spent on personal non-work related conversations, a few hours spent on solitaire, 6 emails sent, and a few orders processed. This day will require 4 hours of OT to do.
Yup, SADLY BUT TRUE- WORTHLESS! 🥳🎉🎉🥳
Every generation faces problems. Gen z did not have to deal with Recession, and the beginning of the Global War on Terrorism that my gen faced. My parents had the crack epidemic and other issues of their time. My grandparents and older were dealing with overt racism and discrimination.
Everyone, is going through something.
Racism never left
Yeah except now people are supporting terrorism
...I wonder what Gen Alpha's challenges would look like?
It's less about being weak in general and more about being strong specifically.
For example, I'm good at when it comes to technology and understanding mental illness, but terrible at everything else.
I found quotes on the subject by several prominent boomers.
Socrates (469-399 BC)
"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority and show disrespect for elders"
Hesiod (circa 700 BC)
"I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on the frivolous youth of today. When I was young, we were taught to be discreet and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise and impatient of restraint."
Plato (circa 429-347 BC)
"What is happening to our young people? They disrespect their elders, they disobey their parents. They ignore the law. They riot in the streets inflamed with wild notions. Their morals are decaying."
Cicero (106-43 BC)
"Times are bad. Children no longer obey their parents, and everyone is writing a book."
But they didn't say they're weak.
The Cicero one is hilarious. The modern equivalent is the complaint that everyone is running a podcast

okay, it's been a while since I've been giving close to 100% attention to a Psych2Go video.
Hey, Phych2Go! Your content has been very helpful for my mental health and psychology based knowledge. Excited to see this video.
The funny part is that every generation nowadays call all the other generations weak.
I know what hell the generation of the great depression went through; those people were not weak! And the generation before them had it rougher; and they were NOT WEAK!
No you!!
Public education taught me nothing worth knowing besides the basics. Reading, writing and simple math up to geometry. The only thing it was good for was socializing, building connections and discipline/sticking to a schedule. Everything else was a major waste of time and money.
Great video. Rarely is it mentioned that younger generations aren't simply "weak," so much as they are facing different challenges than older generations. Rarely is there talk of things like how careers effectively don't exist for a lot of people any more and the challenges that creates, how expensive higher education has become, how marriage has become a losing proposition for men, or the numerous other hurdles that previous generations could only dream of.
Let’s just keep this in mind people: every generation insults the next one as if they were superior to them in every aspects. Let’s not repeat it again when the next generations will be there.
If we’re too weak then Gen Alpha is done for
Sarcasm wins in this circumstance: Older individuals are weak and unable to accept new devices and a rapidly changing environment that they found a way to target smaller individuals that appear to be struggling in order to develop a stereotype to better themselves. While they may be weak, they are certainly smart.
It’s simple ! Many people doesn’t love changes !
And when things change are the way they don’t want ! They see pessimism and danger everywhere because what they do not like that things change and the mentality changes too! They can’t and won’t adapt to the changes !
I am not saying that what is now is better than before and what is before is better that now ! Because everything moves very fast ! There are things before where it is better than today but there are things much better today than there wasn’t before ! And that’s what is good in change! We can’t have everything in life but enjoy what there is ! If it is in our control, yes we can change it and when we talk about change, we talk about ourselves not to control or change others ! Because Changing others without their consent or will is inhumane even the intention is good !
I am most baffled by the view that young people lack empathy. And how those seem to be coming from the SAME people who are annoyed how young people want to be more inclusive! "You have no empathy, also, how dare you support that trans kid?" is SUCH a weird take!
I resonated SO MUCH with this BEAUTIFULLY WORDED video, thank you Psych2Go!!!💙💞Also, Anilezah Lam did a spectacular job crafting the cutest Psi animation style!
Well done video!👏👏👏
I am more interested about one thing.
What kind of product causes the poisoning for Gen Z and alpha similar to how some generations were poisoned with Lead or Asbestos?
Fact check me on this, but I'm pretty sure that would be microplastics for Gen Z
Social justice isn't a new idea, it didn't end well.
1:35 I remember playing with that phone my dad allowed me to play sometimes in my childhood. I am a gen Z and 15 years old.

Same here I hate them products and I’m considered a nerd and a creep in my school cuz I like old stuff and video games that aren’t exactly for my age and I’m kinda hated in school cuz I’m not into skincare
@@andressm6538 same, I love the 2000's and the 80's that's also one of the main reason I wanted a phone and why I have one I love to discover more things about the past and psychology like no I'm not into that stuff and yet I'm being called weird for not liking those stuff.
This entire argument and mental trauma is why I have chosen to kill myself. I can't live this life and constantly dissociate and no matter what I never feel happy. Nobody understands me and emotions are always valid. As the young generation we aren't as addicted to tech and rude as elders think and such thoughts trigger my brain day and night. I wonder about death and afterlife a lot and I watch horror movied and sad content. I lidten to sad songs because they represent my inner self and sometimes i take them way too seriously.

Early. The fact I am having a panick attack while his came up
boomers aren’t realizing life is getting harder. costs of living are rising and the minimum wage is lowering as we speak. bffr.
good one, this great comparison for all generations.
I don't buy into this generation war nonsense. I'm 30 and the kids of today are the same as they've ever been. I hope they get to grow up into a better world because my generation got handed so many problems and are dealing with the consequences of decisions we weren't involved in making. I hope by the time I die we have untangled this mess and future generations get to enjoy peace and prosperity.
It’s not about generations. We need more nuance in the discussion as opposed to macroeconomic arguments.
Weakness isn’t perhaps the correct word. Resilience is what psychologists refer to, and in that respect there is an argument to be made that young people are not equipped to deal with obstacles, resistance, failure, rejection or unpredictable circumstances.
Reframing the premise in this video that younger people are looking for a different work life balance, or are more driven by values such as equality or fairness, is not addressing the premise.
It’s a well know fact that (especially in the west again), students are not able to think critically, handle criticism, or even debate without trigger warnings, safe spaces or unilateral demands made on the other party.
It’s not a personal attack on younger people (in the west) that they are less resilient and more vulnerable to mental health issues. It’s the combination of upbringing, over protection, accelerated learning and development that doesn’t necessarily correspond to the correct life phase (asking 6 year olds what why want or need, or even for their opinions) and the removal of the word “discipline” from the lexicon that have contributed to an explosion in burnout, and a focus on fringe topics like pronouns, gender politics and entitlement.
Not all young people or old people identify to any of the labels we like to glue on them. Time to let go of the term “generations”.
Nonsense! The complaint that “the young people of today are decadent, they will never be able to equal the deeds of their ancestors” is as old as humanity, and obviously comes from a short-sighted perception of the world.
As I grow older, I must admit that I have lost touch with the concerns of the younger generations, which is another reason for me not to judge them. Every new generation will make the best it can from whatever the previous ones leave behind. But progress of some kind does happen, even when we can’t always recognise it on the spot.
I often felt like a failure because of a terrible job market, high housing costs and a high cost of living. i felt like that for a few years until i stumbled arse first into a good job, and i am doing my best to keep it, and use it as a stepping stone after im done here. im very very lucky i got this job
My backpack is sooooo heavy, it’s hard to breathe.
I’m in that group and (collectively) we are too weak.
I am glad this video is explaining what the stereotypes of Gen Z and Millennials are, and how they are debunked.
i needed this, my parents are trying to get me into one job which lasts forever. just like theirs. but i just got a job in that I work in different locations, always traveling. but dude lil me is young af and I want to see stuff. not to be stuck in one location forever. I even got a way better degree than them. Only because it worked for them it does not mean I need to be put in there too.
I've heard "young people these days are so foolish" far too many times.
Young people are always foolish. Sadly they only notice once they're old and then it's other young people's turn :D
NO!! I’m only 27. These kids go through lockdowns more in a year that I did in my entire school age life.

I was only reading about mid 20th century barbiturate abuse yesterday. Then there's the constant consumption of cigarettes and martinis that typified the era, an era that saw the first mass usage of psychiatric therapy. PS I'm 58, just for context.

Everything all starts from home (Parenting). Then the Education System. Then when you reach your late teens, early adults, you eventually may turn to mental health services & professionals. Then you start asking yourself questions and whether or not you're the problem. And if none of that helps with coping with life or instead, making you worse at dealing with life, you might want to think twice on blaming yourself for everything. Or even, listening to those who play the blame-shifting game on you.
My maternal grandfather loved my grandmother more than she loved him. She used his love to abuse and control him. My family has bwen so separated by this that everyone refuses to fix the problem morally and ethically.
As a hiring manager I see so many problems in my generation and the next ones. I notice the ones who become successful are usually (not always) immigrants or people who have been born in immigrant families vs the traditional citizen in North America. Sorry not sorry for anyone who is offended … as someone who has been raised in North America and been one of those people who are entitled myself I have realized the error in our actions and thoughts not saying all the traits are bad such as mental health importance therapy etc it’s when people take it to far and let it effect their jobs and lives in a negative way.. the victim mentality and entitlement For doing nothing is a bit much … I am a millennial Btw
Immigration is how you spur economy and growth. With declining birth rates, the only way to sustain markets, is with people looking to start better lives.
My country is at war. No one is weak.

Oh! One more point! Hope for the Future. As a millenial with hopes for a more open and tollerant world in the start of the millenia was proven fatally wrong. Now it feels more like we're moving ever closer the the 1930s all over again...
I don’t think it’s so much the generation as a whole but generational environment in some families and they can be stuck in that world instead of venturing out and branching out ideas
Nice video. Too many people pick on the young.
4:53 This is like saying two characters in a video game. One has 100 XP, the other has 10,000 XP, are the same because they can both get to 10,001 XP. While, they can both get there, one is far more likely to achieve it than the other is.
I think each generation has own issue. We should try our best
Absolutely YES

I’ve heard older people complaining about every person on the bus staring into their phones, without considering they might as well be on Duolingo or Kindle
I feel part of this may be the product of the previous generations thinking we have more of a type of problem, when in reality what changed is the awareness of said problem. Say like mental health, they may think we are worse in that aspect when in reality we are just more aware of it
It cannot be stressed how much the introduction of smartphones in 2006 and gen z being the first generations of kids to start using them impacted their mental health, communication skills and attention spans. There are studies on this that show the impact. We also can't blame them if their Gen X and Boomer parents were not able to see the negative effects of this happening to stop it. Previous generations did not grow up with this kind of technology so were not as affected by the negative aspects of it.
1. Education on more knowledge, views and worldly understanding: But young people tend to elevate views above facts which looks naive instead of learned. The worldly understanding is often an anecdotal, unsubstantial and barely relevant regurgitated opinion from others who share their own narratives. Critical thinking takes place when multiple perspectives and interpretations are processed and checked for biases while simultaneously trying to remove one’s own ignorance and prejudice before theorization begins. Youth almost always lack the ability to negotiate that complexity including the older people when they were young.
2. Technology & Social Media: Anyone, young or old, having access to the level of information available now, is less dependent upon their ability to focus and memorize information which leads to many people without specialized knowledge, slower overall memory recall and belief that personal feelings hold the same or greater importance than fact.
I know they don’t want me to get hurt, but I feel like at times my family could be a little overprotective of me….
Oh yes, times are a changing. I am glad that the human race is as adaptable as it is.
I am a millennial and I do believe our generation and future generations have challenges that can make us weaker or more disconnected from reality. It depends to each individual if they decide to keep giving opinions and empowering them without actually getting of the seat and touching ground or go to the ground and get a new experience that cannot be obtained from any where else.
So everything that people perceive about the current, young generation is wrong? They're amazing in every category? They have no flaws? Real unbiased reporting. 😮💨 " When your child doesn't take out the trash, it's not because they're a kid, so they forgot or procrastinate or are a little bit lazy, no, it's because this new glorious generation has a new sense of work-life balance that we can't possibly understand."
Stuff like this does more harm than good.
"We're actually better at addressing these issues head on, which is a sign of strength. Not weakness."
We've gotten better at ADDRESSING, yes. That's pretty much where it ends. The downside to social media is the amount of people with mental health issues exacerbates the likelihood of not getting it treated, because then you won't be part of social group anymore. People with mental health issues gravitate towards acceptance, validation, and lack self-regulating themselves to where they need the attention from social media. SO while the issues are openly addressed, the mentality that just existing with mental health issues is preferable as opposed to self improvement creates a divide in older generations, who strived to self improve and overcome at all costs. Validation came from overcoming challenges, not acceptance from others. That's where younger generations lose connection with older crowds.
Please make more videos of this . I’m definitely sharing this with my family.
Inside the same generation (in my case millennials) some people still have the same behaviour patrons as their parents, families and society. There are people that see me weak when I just looking for justice for psychological abuse in the work place and family environment. I not going to pleased anyone to be accepted, what I want is best for my wellbeing and if that means to speak up and fight for my rights, I will do it, no matter if at the end of the day I'm alone. Be strong, ask for professional help and never share details of your life to ordinary people (bosses, coworkers, friends or family) they will use it as a weapon against you. I wish this helps to someone out there 💪🏼💝
bruh no way even Psych2Go has the "ALL xxx EXPLAINED" preview
6. Rising Narcissism: Good points about this one! I would only add that it’s been prevalent throughout the generations especially since women started this 3rd wave feminism push. But lots of western women are partially narcissistic with the intensity going up in the last few decades among all ages. It’s understandable why women have become more so but it’s not an excuse for it.
7. Relationship Dynamics: Young people unable or unwilling to commit are merely adapting to the world around them. It’s especially difficult to present any positive reasons to young men to marry a young woman who has no grasp on reality, declaring what she wants, hooks up with and obsesses over people who conform with almost every opposing trait she will constantly profess to want to marry. Stay strong, safe and single out there! Remember every marriage ends in divorce or death.
Throwing thoughts like they are hard facts.... saying that actual generation has a critical way of thinking while iq scores have been dropping for many years.... so long for the respect i had for this channel
Every generation has it's strength, and each generation before should guide and teach the new generation ahead. Hence... Evolution
I’m a baby boomer and growing up I learned that I didn’t always get what I wanted. If I wanted something I had to earn it. I also learned that you had to work your way up the ladder when it came to a job. I didn’t expect instant gratification. I didn’t spend like there was no tomorrow so I never went into debt. If I could afford it and I needed it, I bought it otherwise, I went without. I was taught respect and manners which is greatly lacking in today’s world. All three of my kids are college graduates and we’re raised the way I was. They are successful and live independently. I’m proud of each and everyone of them.
Cool, cool. So.... I could only get one job after 376 job applications, it's 52 miles away from where I live, I'm not getting paid enough to move closer to there since rent is higher, and I literally just took out a loan to pay for groceries and gas....
We're not getting paid enough or given anywhere near as many chances as your generation.
This is cute. Math tells us that you had it fucking easy, though. The numbers tell us it's just fucking harder now, and the part where people working four jobs can't pay fucking rent.
@@pleasegoawaydude Why are you getting so angry? All they're doing is talking about their experience and waiting for a hopefully intelligent response, possibly curious about people of younger generation's experience because they wish to understand. And you're repelling them with your immaturity and idiocy. Also, what numbers? What statistics? I'm not disagreeing with you on that, inflation has damned us all. But you can't just angrily throw out a vague explanation like "LOOK AT THE NUMBERS AND THE MATH!!" and expect anyone to know what you're talking about.
That is so true
As a 63 year old; my concern is how Easily dnfp dupped the younger gen!
You probably won’t read all this but I hope so. I landed dead center as a Gen Xer. I see great hope & things for the future, new things and things to be changed. All the positive things from this video. Potential for the end of racism, individualism, acceptance.
But there are issues that can’t be denied and these are real. Older generations
can see these from our life experiences and and a society that the world has existed with…it hasn’t changed yet, but it will. Into what we want it to be, or don’t want it to be.
It’s timeless: the young generation says the older are old, outdated, and cynical. The older say the young are lazy, weak, and lack responsibility. Yet the world continues (and will always) go round.
My opinions only: the older generations need to practice tolerance, kindness, and patience. The younger generations need to practice tolerance, kindness and patience. True is that the older generations brought the younger generations into this world and raised them. The younger generations exist in a world that was here when you arrived and you are our children. We are in this together. We all have the potential to change
Well as an early gen z i want to say no
but then i remember how much i troll my gen alpha ipad brother for being weak sooo
Obviously you didn't understand the video 😭 cuz if you did then you would realize that this whole gen war is actually useless , every gen have their flaws
(Yt istg don't delete the comment or hide it pls)
(Yt istg don't delete the comment or hide it pls)
Oh boy, do I have hard times with my mother who grew up in Ex-URSS country and me 90's kid in new inpendent country.
Can you make a video on glass child syndrome?
Sad thing is it's so true, idk the facts of how many people go to therapy but I'm saying 21% from Google.. . It's crazy how week we truly are than when we're were back then
Going to Therapy isnt weak
In Glad so many people can Discuss Their Problems and challenges with a Professionell
Going to therapy isn't weak, it actually proves how much people want to be better for themselves
(Yt istg don't delete the comment or hide it pls)
sooo are we Supposed to just suffer in silence while putting on a face of happiness on the outside
Because like there are a lot of boomer jokes about hating their wife And that really doesn't seem healthy so I think therapy is a better option
Unless of course being a boastful ignorant prideful alpha male that causes problems most of the time is a good thing (i don't think it is)
Younger generations are better able to adapt than older generations for obvious reasons. Taking pride in the old while being old yourself and while society has already moved on from a lot of standards and status quos one is familiar with can make one a hazard to younger people's futures when minimal understanding is involved. More so, a lot of the ruling class have upped the ante in the class war since then: The corporations the boomer and older gens have devoted themselves to supporting, for example, now are practically rulers of multiple cultures in multiple countries through their wealth. The generational blame-game benefits the ruling class.
The cycle only continues
It's not generational, but the cultural "now". Back in the 80's, everyone was rocking. Partying it up before the nukes rained down. Today, no one is rocking. Everyone's hung up over the world not being perfect. Like it ever was or will be. We're living through a cultural and philosophical stagnation.
