This may or may not be true as a whole, but I was walking through a strip mall with a few of my friends just hanging out and talking when we decided to check out an electronics store that was about about 4 stores down as I started down that way my buddy stopped me and said, "Hey, where are you going? The car is this way." I laughed a little and asked why don't we just walk there and I got a collective response of "screw that!"
This along with the Remember When thread got me thinking. I started to be bothered when I actually looked at where we were going, it seems we care about nothing! So what, if I'm not crazy, is making my generation and others so much lazier about anything. Many in my generation half a$$ just about anything whether its at school, home or anywhere else. It seems that many of us just know we can slide on by and nothing will ever really be done about it. I feel like we've lost so much self responsibility, I don't understand what has happened in the last generations to make teen pregnancy the norm and not a big deal. Is it social standards and how they've all gone down hill? Is it both parents always working full-time to support the family that there is less guidance? Some people say its video games and not playing enough outside as a kid but are there any other factors involved that could be provoking this or is it all just the technology we grew up with?
I'm 21 by the way, so this is the group that grew up in the 90s.
