Proud Gen Xer who has been married since 2001. We have one daughter (I am not built to make the babies, sadly.) She is amazing, hard working and more of a Xer in many ways than a Zoomer.
I teach zoomers — in the Middle School and the High School — some are cool kids, but so many are screwed beyond imagining.
I was told by one school not to ever say, “Life is tough, deal with it...” to my whining students. I had to part ways with that school after six beautiful years because the parents complained that I was too “heartless.”
The world will not be kind to these kids.
I recently retired after 33 years in the public schools.
What I noticed is how many more kids now are taking some kind of psychotropic drug - lots of kids are on anti-depressants. Many, if not most in some kind of therapy - family therapy, group therapy, behavior modification therapy.
And, many of them came from either broken homes or single-mother homes, most of these are dysfunctional, men in and out all the time.
So sad for these kids.
