Do today's teens and young adults believe they have the right to everything in life ? Young adults and teenagers have few or no boundaries these days. Parents and society, social media, have all played a huge role in the privileged generation of yesterday and today. Most older generations often feel that the current generation is very different from theirs. The current generation is blamed for their bad behavior, violence and selfish attitudes. Times change with each generation. However, so do societal acceptance, technology, social media, educational requirements, social norms and expectations. Our behavior as a member of society or a parent actually dictates how a child will grow up and the influences and limitations with which they will be raised. Society and parents are responsible for the privileged generation of yesterday and today. Too much indulgence in rewarding “job well done” when the job was not finished. The generation of twenty years ago said that you had to work for what you wanted and be disciplined towards uncontrollable teenagers and young adults. A teenager had to work for his car. When you came home from school, you had to do your homework and do your household chores. According to Generation Me, he says: Previous generations had a sense of duty and often did what they were told without asking why. (Generation Me, 404) We can't say that young adults are like that now. Today's young adults want to know why they do it and what it's for. Today's teenagers go home and play on the Internet or play online with little or no effort on their homework. The majority of parents tend to overcompensate their own past and present ... middle of paper ... for their own actions. You don't get rewarded if you don't work for it. Such is life. Go to school if you can get your education, apply those skills in the job market, and climb the ladder to success. When we learn to stop blaming the current generation, maybe one day we can stop and learn something from each other.
