Kids these day…
It’s a phrase often spoken by people of a certain age, before detailing all the things they think are wrong with the current generation of young people, and being of a certain age myself, I think it’s time that I weigh in on,
Kids these days…
Kids these days spend a lot of time on social media, watching YouTube influencers, and playing video games online.
In my day we didn’t do any of that…
Online hadn’t been invented yet.

In my day…
We asked our questions to slightly older kids and went with whatever they told us.
We hung out at malls, watched whatever was on television, and only played video games if we had enough quarters.
Kids these days are anti-war, anti-fascist, anti-corporate greed, and pro-gender equality.
In my day, and in your parents and grandparents’ day, the youth was also anti-war, anti-corporate greed, and pro-civil rights.
Your great-grandparents are called the greatest generation….
And they invented anti-fascism, fought against it, and won… they would be proud of you.
Kids these days don’t want to work dead-end jobs for low pay.
Neither did your parents or grandparents, and their dead-end low-paying jobs had more purchase power than yours.
Kids today believe in a better future than the world as they found it.
And that is something that has guided every generation
And why kids of every generation love
