Edit: this post doesn’t apply to everyone but if the shoe fits, wear it. And if you find yourself slowly getting upset about this post then the shoe probably fits you 🫵🏽

I want a debate, how do you guys explain yourselves for being so selfish?

Your parents saved college funds/bought your first car or whatever they could afford to do

I’ve never met somebody from the younger generations who had the same treatment

Your parents focused on helping you achieve your goals

Almost every parent I’ve met from this generation plays toxic/petty games with THEIR OWN CHILDREN (I’m gonna flex my authority as a parent just to prove my point) mentality

What makes a grown adult feel like they need to come out on top? Why is it so hard for you guys to want to see your kid become a better person than you?

Your parents taught you how to properly execute your decisions/plans and be successful

Our parents told us we had to make decisions based off of their opinions on them.

If I ask any suicidal kids (-18) in the US what makes them depressed the answer is almost always THEIR PARENTS

And you guys can’t take accountability? As a kid from gen Z, all I can say for you is this- THANK YOU for creating challenging times. There’s a saying - weak men create hard times, hard times create strong men, strong men create easy times, easy times create weak men- and so on. From the perspective of a kid, I don’t blame you for being rebellious. Nothings wrong with you, you’re just strong enough to not become weaker than the previous generation. From the prospective of a now adult, I don’t need to be rebellious anymore, nobody is trying to be petty for trying to become strong anymore.

Please, gen X, make your arguments. I want to hear how you feel about this.
