Hmmm..

age 14-18, means children of Xers.

Kinda undoes that "we are unselfish" banner the Xers like to wave.

But I knew better anyhow. And it is big fun watching Xers crash and burn as they try to advance their career and find that when everyone gets a ribbon that you don't learn how to compete.

Yes, that's right. And, of course, no Boomers or any generation before had people in it that abandonded their kids.

Anyone can be selfish, and it has very little to do with what generation raised you, imo.

They're not necessarily kids of Gen Xers. I have half-brothers in the same age range, and their mother is of the generation preceeding Gen X, and their father another generation older still.

I fall into the Generation X age group and for me to have an 18 year old right now I would have had to have given birth in high school. You are really stretching the limits there.
