Recommended: Influences of social media on teenagers

The new generation The youth of today is the leaders of tomorrow it is said but what if the leaders of tomorrow don't look like they even be anything close than that? You already have your opinion of the kids today, whether its pre-teens who are 9-13 years old teenagers from 13-19 years old or even the young adults who are to take the places of their elders in the future. Which ever age group, there is a lot of negative views on them all, at least to those people who have non-wishfully observed. People all have their biased opinions or their opinions that they formed from perspective but no one really knows use youths like we do, though we are all different and have different hobbies, likes, and home lives, we still have a lot in common because we are all developing and changing. So no one, unless your young, knows what its like or what world we all live in but us. We have our own world apart from the world itself. A day in the life of a teen is very different among all but one thing that isn't different is the way we wake up. We all wake up the same- as we are and nothing more yet, only us as we have grown to be. From there is can all change though. For me I …show more content…

That is just one example of what people don't know about the youth of today and probably youth in itself. We are all just walking around living our lives and no one else's because " Ain't nobody got time for that!" If you don't know where thats from you might be too self-absorbed and need to start exploring whats happening today! Look that quote up on youtube and find the one that says original. If you don't find the humour in her words you might have to find your sense of non-sense again because almost half the world who saw this video found her good hearted humbleness and hilarious story

In Fahrenheit 451 they have a “fun park...or go out in the cars and race on the streets.” Also have a Window smasher place and a car wreck place where children can go and smash windows and wreck cars.

Kids in our society are just as dangerous and reckless as the kids in Clarisse's

    At the start of the semester, my oblivious state of nature associating with the Chinese culture reached an unacceptable level. Implementing a necessary change, I decided to educate myself on different cultures starting with China. I failed to ponder that such a rich, deep culture existed outside America. Encompassed by this country’s unique yet suffocating melting pot culture, my outlook believed ideas such as uniformity between American Chinese food and Authentic Chinese food. After this course, my bigot perspective widened as I witnessed diversity in the world. Before this class, when I thought of Chinese food, my connotation jumped to thoughts associated with chop suey, but as I progressed my education, my mindset gradually pondered foods like steamed buns or “New Year Cakes” with authentic Chinese food.

  • X: the Influenced and Influential Generation

    There are many aspects of my generation that reflect, define, and influence my generation. Its a difficult task to understand Generation X, my generation. We are like no generation before us, and no preceding generation will be like ours. We are empowered by the Internet, we have more knowledge about technology than our parents, and we are exposed to so much information. One thing remains unchanged, as with past generation; the relationship between us and our parents. Jamake Highwater once said, "the greatest distance between people is not space, but culture.(301)" This is true, my generation has their own culture, one which is of course different than that of our parents. We are still considered rebellious. We listen to music that is different than what our parents listen to, we dress in a way that upsets them, and act in ways that they might not. Our parents don't dress like us. They don't see how we can be happy doing what we do. They don't understand us. We are opinionated, yet susceptible. In our adolescence we are prone to wrongful doing, wrongful thinking, and we can be difficult and misunderstood. Our weakness is how easily we can let peer pressure or the media or our surroundings influence us. Many aspects of my generation's culture reflect, define, and influence my generation.

  • Exaggeration over the Selfish Nature of the Millennial Generation

    This generation may be lazy and self-centered. I do feel lazy and I do feel like things are gonna magically appear into my hands such as my future. I am completely lost about what I want to do later in life. I am a part of those people that take a way too big interest in celebrities knowing that they are doing anything except drugs and entertainment yet I still think they are some kind of Gods. I would love to meet every single person that were in the famous selfie taken by Ellen Degeneres at the Oscars of this year. However, I do feel that we are not the worst generation, we are just different. I wish I could have lived in the early 70's and be a hippie in San Francisco fighting against the war in Vietnam. Nevertheless, this generation was considered by the generation before as lazy and conceited as well. No generation can be better than an other just different.

    Nothing could have prepared me for emotional impact that came with completing my gold award. I was on the home stretch for completing the highest award that could be presented to a girl scout. For my project I had decided to make presents for the terminally ill children staying in the hospital. There I was 18 years old and ready to finally finish up the last requirement of my project; handing off the presents. At least I thought I was ready. Most of the children were sleeping so I gave them to the parents but the children that were awake I was able to give them personally. There was one little girl whose face is ingrained in my mind. She was hooked up to more machines than I could count and yet there she was awake and smiling. Mary, the little

    Firstly, everyone has gone or will go through the teenage rebellion phase. No matter how good of a person you think you are, you have probably rebelled against an elder person at least once. Once hormones have revealed it-self, children turn into confused young adults that think they can do everything by themselves and that there will be no longer any need of nurture from adults. The word “young” from “Young adults” are what teenagers completely ignore, when actually they should do the opposite and ignore the “adults” part.

    Furthermore, the manner in which political ideologies and perspectives have altered factors such as education, employment, housing and benefits will be examined. Once a full explanation has been provided the fundamental question that needs to be answered is: are the teenagers of today embattled or empowered? “Definitions of ‘youth’ in Western societies usually refer to the life stage between childhood and adulthood, the transitional period between being dependant and becoming independent” (Kehily, 2007). The age of this transition can be best defined by the House of Commons as starting at 16 and ending at 24 years old (2013). This transition from youth to adulthood has altered considerably in recent years; the traditional norms and values that youth once followed are no longer respected or easily attained.

    For example, people are still growing in their 20s. They are figuring out how to deal with stress and their brains are not fully developed says Kathryn Tyler in the article The Tethered Generation. Millennials know that they still need guidance just like everyone does from time to time. The millennial generation is not perfect and makes mistakes, just as previous generations have. Everyone appreciates time off to have time to enjoy life, while working hard to pay bills. “Elspeth Reeve said in 2013 It’s like doing a stud on toddlers and declaring those that have been born since 2010 are Generation Sociopath: kids these days pull your hair, pee on the walls, throw full bowls of cereal without even thinking if the

    ...when they are at their most impressionable. Researchers try indisputably hard to turn every teenager into one type of statistic or another to be analyzed and then portrayed in an entirely different way. Adults look at teenagers from the wrong perspective to research them objectively. The stereotypical view of teenagers as portrayed by the media has become a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy. Teenagers see themselves portrayed as violent and good for nothing so they decide to live up to that label. I believe that teenagers simply seek approval from adults and their peers; they see living up to what is portrayed as a way of getting said approval.
