My generation is THE generation of whiners. I am pretty sure that we whine about anything and everything. I think its interesting how the things we seem to whine about most are the things that we have gotten ourselves into.
"Why does my credit score suck so bad/How did I just find myself in a bankruptcy!?" - because you have no self-control and don't know how to handle your own money… And for some reason, you think you need/deserve everything your parents have, when it took them most of a life-time to get where they are with what they have… that stuff doesn't come over-night to 99.9% of people! STOP OVER-SPENDING!
"Oh my gosh! I can't believe we got pregnant! How did this happen!?" - Really? well… I could explain it to you, but that should have been covered in your 5th grade health class… Do you really not know how it happened?! Really?!
"There aren't any jobs available, so why even try to go out and try to find one!?" - Look genius… there are actually plenty of jobs out there right now. They aren't all glamorous and 98% of them aren't going to get you rich. Don't use the economy as a crutch for your laziness, when that is exactly what put us into this mess… I don't want to pay for everything you have because I work hard and you are too lazy to get a job, or have one that isn't "your style…" or anything else. Stop collecting unemployment when you haven't put in a legitimate effort to get a job.
"Why am I constantly dating (pick a gender) that treats me like garbage!?" - Because you're constantly treating yourself like garbage! Girls stop giving guys everything they want and start treating yourself like a lady and guys… stop being such hounds and look up the word "Chivalry", "Chastity", and "Virtue"… you might learn a thing or two. Also, if you find yourself meeting the same type of person that you don't like… you might stop trying to find your soul mate in a bar! Switch up the venue!
Now, obviously there are exceptions to the rule. I have friends, dear friends, that have spent tons of time, effort and money to get a good solid job. Bad things happen to good people and they're put in situations that put them into severe debt, or they meet someone they think is awesome, and they turn out to be worse than scum. But over all, most of these issues can be helped!
In general, my generation is enjoying some of the most incredible times this world has ever seen. Have you ever stopped and realized that up until about 100 years ago, every generation before us had to ride horses everywhere? The fastest a human could go was how fast they could go on the back of a horse and now, going 75 miles an hour has become a very routine thing (let alone with airplanes are doing…) We can have a small thing in our pockets that after tapping it a few times can literally start communicating with someone thousands of miles away. Sometimes, I feel like we have a lot to be grateful for… and we are the worst at showing it.
