People spend thousands of hours and millions of dollars studying the various problems and hang ups of our younger generations. Why are they struggling so much? It's given quite the thought, and so many people know the answer but don't want to say it for fear of hurt feelings.
Here let me help you: They are struggling because we're handing them everything, except their asses.
Don't get it? Here let me elaborate.
Have you been to a public school lately? Fuck I remember being in middle school, high school, and even some of elementary school. When I was in elementary school there was this thing called "Failing Grades." They occurred quite frequently when you couldn't get your shit together. Now there are no such things in many schools.
The concept of making kids accept the fact they suck isn't really used anymore. Instead they give the kids as many tries as they want, letting them redo the same paper 50 times to get that C. Or they just let them fly through the year without doing anything and the get a D.
D's for degrees! BITCHES.
What the fuck?
I understand the concept of letting them "try again to help them learn." but that is ridiculous.
Your boss will never say, "Oh it's okay that you left half of our important statistics out of that quarterly report. Just do it again, it's alright."
No- they aren't going to fucking say that, here's more a more realistic rendition:
"Hey, Jack, it seems you have fucked up the quarterly report for the second time in a row. I'm going to have to let you go."
Jack's boss doesn't care about Jack's feelings in the slightest.
The real world doesn't care about satisfying your tickly-happy bits or stroking your ego. The real world is mean, and kids really just don't get that. My generation doesn't even understand that. They think it's all pickles and ponies and Wonder bread. A good hunk of my class didn't even graduate and many of them still live at home- not going to college, playing video games all day, complaining about how hard life is.
Go fuck yourselves, you whiny pricks.
For some reason many people I know felt like they'd get out of high school and would be handed a nice job, a great car, and a trophy wife/husband. No- that's now how it works. There are people out there that have worked their entire lives, trying to make their way up the chain, that still don't have the little things you take for granted.
Like food,
Shelter,
Clean water,
Education,
Freedom.
I should be a teacher, because then when a student turns in stupid shit to me, I'd get out my red pen and circle everything that sucks and clearly write:
This is shit.
Take this out.
What the fuck?
F- for "Fuck this paper."
Kudos to Mel, who is a great teacher and is still nice about it.
