Are the youth of today a lost generation?

February 24, 2008

I don’t think the youth of today is any more lost than the rest of us. What is different is the pressures that they’re under and these are enormous – far greater than experienced by previous generations. With every decade our aspirations become increasingly impossible to fulfill. We aren’t content with having enough, we want it all, as we work all hours God sends to get more and more stuff. Our children suffer because we aren’t there enough for them. From a very young age they’re bundled off to creches where they lose that precious early interaction with their mother in particular. There is no time anymore. Everyone flies about like demented bats, trying to do the impossible. Shoved in front of televisions and greatly corrupted with violent video games from giant immoral money making companies. Eating rotten take-aways most nights of the week that haven’t got an ounce of food value, what do you expect?. Children should be our priority and if they aren’t of course they are going to reflect unsociable behavior as they reach their adult years. Teaching self discipline is not to be entertained in our celebratory obsessed society. Everywhere there is a criminal lack of responsibility in the U.K. today. There is no guidance from adults, no good examples being set. The youth that we see out of control on the streets were once tiny babies, the apple of their parents eye. So what is it that goes so terribly wrong to make them end up knifing or shooting each other or as in the recent cases in South Wales deciding to hang themselves. Adults have got to take the reigns again and be there for their kids. The family unit is everything, without it you just get chaos and breakdown. You must get your priorities in order and stop changing partners as frequently as an ” excuse me dance” It’s a tall order now because we have slipped so far in allowing the rampant money making commercialism of computer game consortium’s and television programs that are full of mindless rubbish to devour our children with their evil greed. How dare we call our children a lost generation, it’s about time we started to pull our socks up and start setting some good examples for them to live by.
