The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

I wonder which generation could be responsible for such a “useless generation”.

Probably the next to come. Such a bunch of tossers!

Oh, let me add “can’t take any responsibility or else they experience PTSD or some other debilitating mental trauma” to my list.

Lol, tell us how it was so much better back in your day grandpa. Shoe us how out of touch you are and how worthless the opinions of people like you are 🤣

Maybe it could have been stated differently but there is a lot of ‘gaslighting’ and ‘feeling triggered’ that seems to occur. Is there a decreased perseverance or resilience? I think grit is the word they use when they compare US schools to those in Finland.
