BG, you could be missing something because you are making a lot of assumptions…it’s that simple. Not to say I have a crystal ball.[/quote]
She is making a heck of a lot of assumptions. She is looking at the motivated group of Gen Ys, ignoring those that are not. Just want to party, smoke weed and play video games. One I know of intentionally broke their old phone because they wanted a new iPhone, and they might get their Mom to buy them a new phone if the old was broken. This person was encouraged by their peer group to do this. BTW, this person is over 18.
We have been so concerned about not offending, being PC, not making others feel bad about themselves and not allowing people to have difficulties. How are kids and youth that have grown up in this scenario going to handle having to get up at 4am in the morning to do physical labor? How are they going to handle responsibility? Disappointment?
They want and have no patience to work for it or to delay gratification. They want instant gratification and they have learned that if they throw a tantrum, they can get it and steal it if you still don’t get it. Honest and integrity don’t matter. Lie if it gets you what you want.
While there have always been people like this, as a percentage of the population, their numbers are increasing and that is the real problem.
