Ummm....article not entirely true...but there are lots of kids with many trophies for participation...maybe some of them will realize that computerized interaction is not real and that AI only reports on what is retrieved from the net, not necessarily what is true. Maybe some will mow their neighbors lawn or take out their garbage or clean out their yards for some bucks. Just to figure out how to earn money..

Democrat pussies!

Last thing I wanted to do was stay at home!
I had jobs to be had, money to be made, and
girls to screw! All legal of course.
I’m not special, I’m just a normal guy.
Young people these days are infected by Democrat
theocracy. Somebody owes you something!
BS!
Parents owe you a decent chance to learn
and succeed in life. but beyond that it is up to you to
get out there and fight for your share.
You can’t do that playing games on a smart phone all
day.
Smart phones are a great tool. but like any tool use it wisely.
Kids need to be greedy and self sufficient as soon as possible.

Just another whinging article, that omits a LOT of things about GEN Zers. All we ever see is BAD stuff; they NEVER write about the good ones. And all posters to this thread have bought into it. WHY?

Women need to ask themselves- aside from sex, what do you bring to a relationship? Homemaking skills? Steady income? Emotional support? Many women don’t bring any of this to potential suitors.

Ask me about the Great Recession which, contrary to what you hear in the corporate media, began in 2007 in the job market and did not end until 2015. That’s NINE years.

The writer denies that there is a bruised “sense of entitlement” but that is exactly what she is describing. Entitled to an easy life, entitled to an effortless job that pays lots of money and is interesting and rewarding, entitled to a house maybe better than the one they grew up in. Entitled to have people fawn over them and tell them they are special. As always, the antidote to bruised entitlement is humility. Nobody is entitled to any of the above.

The article says that Em is “living with loved ones”. Fine, the young women are being sheltered. But the young men who want to find their niches in life are walking away empty handed while young women reject them for offering them no future. It reminds me of the societal changes imposed by the Vietnam draft.

The participation trophy youth finally finding out what losers are. Seems appropriate.

"Ghosted" = ignored.

No real reason why a new word had to be invented with the same meaning and same number of syllables.

Very insipid.

Seems to have been written by a 20 year old, who got rejected for a prom date.
Although, a generation raised by nutjobs, in public schools, being indoctrinated with leftist ideology their entire lives, has little hope of realizing how the real world works.
They think men can become women, all whites had slaves, all blacks were slaves, Capitalism is evil, and America is to blame for everything.
How would we expect anything else?

Because everyone else in history heard yes by dates, colleges and employers? Get a grip.

Country faces a critical shortage of plumbers, who can make up to $200K a year. If you want to live outside mommy’s basement, go to work. Problem is they want to be an influencer, a TickTocker and a financial analyst.

Hard to imagine forcing them into the military wouldn’t fix their problem.
