Even though i am part of this current generation, I do not understand it. I mean that technology has corrupted us. People are judged upon what model phone they have. Hell there is a bloody obsession on shoes. Shoes are shoes, as long as they fit on your feet and let you move along comfortably, who cares who they are made by. Another thing that is not understandable is that the language. Spicy. In school I heard someone describe someone as spicy. When I asked a friend he said that it was just another word for good looking. Following that train of thought Jalapenos should work as a descriptive term also. A disturbing trend that I also have observed is that a very large majority of the kids who are of the middle eastern desent are wanna be blacks. They sag their pants, wear caps backward, and call each other "my n****". I find that extremely irritating in that they arent black and that the term "n****" has its origin in racism. I do not have much hope for the future of this generation.

Every generation has its own good or bad behaviors.And it want to come with something new,to escape from the boundaries set before,to make theirs own.I don't think this is a bad thing.On the base of this kind of behavior the mankind evolves

Though these are disturbing examples of what some of today’s generation are capable of, I should stress that these are only some examples. I believe that every generation has a poor opinion of the younger one after them. Can you honesty remember your grandparents thinking that the nation was in good hands when thinking of current trends in your generation?

I think that we live in a completely different world now than our parents did, and I also think that our children live in a different world to the one that we grew up in. Now, the younger people are judged for the things that they have rather than the person that they are, and they are also judged by the things that they post on online social networking websites. It is a shame that the world has come to this, but I do know that times have to change, and everyone will always be judged by something it is just a shame that everything seems to be so superficial these days.

It isn't just your generation, it's all Americans. If you stay here long enough, you will see it all. I have no hope for the future of your nation. Even your president cannot be African American - no, he has to be black! Just do a search of the discussions here and you will see.
