I Hate My Generation

Post Reply New Topic

It's not just a local thing. It's everywhere. Society rewards ignorance and the most depraved members of society are praised.

I mean, try going on some teen website sometime. Most of them aspire to be thugs, gangsters, and criminals (although it's impossible to tell what they are saying since they cannot even form a single coherent word, let alone a coherent sentence). Not only that, but they are measured by how degenerate they are. The sicker they are, the more admired they are. Case in point:

And why do you think all memorial pages are trolled constantly? I remember when a memorial page was put up for a girl who committed suicide and, as usual, kids mocked her death on her Facebook dedication page and post pictures of grotesque gore and racism. One of them posted a picture of a dead baby being cooked and put into stew, for example. Another posted the infamous picture of a starving African child with a vulture waiting for the child to die -- but, of course, they made a ridiculing demotivational poster out of it. Someone also made a page dedicated to the rope that hanged the girl, calling it "THE BEST ROPE EVAR!"

And this is just one of countless examples. It is literally impossible for someone to die nowadays without their death being relentlessly, viciously mocked. Life means nothing to these little coprophagic savages.

I just don't get it there are a lot of pretty horrible people in every generation, and many people give into the mob mentality. I understand what you are angry about but 99% of this generation is not a bunch of illiterate thugs...I do not think this generation is any 'worse' than the past ones.

Also what is so evil about alchohol and drug use....everyone who drinks is not an alcoholic and everyone who uses drugs is not an addict. I mean sure if people abuse things like that or commonly get messed up so they can go out and cause problems its bad but other then that it is a personal choice and not nessisarly an evil one.

Children are annoying.
Teenagers are stupid and arrogant.
Adults are too narrow minded and also arrogant.
Old farts can't even remember the names of their offspring.

I know there are some things I like about humans, but I sure can't think of any right now.

I think since the 80's ignorance and stupidity have been promoted by the media. I reckon it is a general effort to dumb down the masses. Our governments have cut spending on education so much that kids do not learn anything in school other than how they treat eachother in the playground. Then they leave school to become working adults and if they are lucky to find a job they think thats all there is and so make more babies and bring them up into an even worse world. Things just get worse for each generation.

At the same time, technology/science has advanced to such a degree that it is beyond the understanding of most people and together with the lack of education makes people feel stupid. So they act stupid, they copy the crap on TV and don't even realize it.

Our politicians condescend to us to try to make us feel stupid, and the majority fall for it. I am thankful that some people see through all of this but it doesn't make things better.

Every generation has It's downside my friend...

I completely agree with everything the OP said. You took the words right out of my mouth. I've even said as much to them in person on occasion.

The horrible children of the 80's have grown up and spawned the Satans of the 10's. I had to go to school with them for the past 7 years and actually be TREATED like one of them! It was so depressing and I had absolutely no motivation to do anything. None of them can talk. They just use primitive screams and orgasms to communicate. They hate everyone, even themselves, and call everyone gay yet go and have drunken orgies with everyone and put the photos online like badges of honor. The more unintelligent and evil, the higher up on the social ladder you are. They crave the destruction of innocent, intelligent, caring people who would actually benefit the world. They thrive off of destroying them. It makes me wonder, "Why even bother to be successful if these...things, aren't going to appreciate my contributions to society?" They even get their 80's parents in it and the staff of schools. If they randomly decide they hate you, they'll make their children drive by your house and vandalize it, or your teachers will call you sluts if you're the furthest thing from it.

They seriously, honestly need to all burn in a drunken car crash and laugh at each other like they do when people they don't know on the other side of the world die. Then we can start over and create a new race of people who actually want to be humans. I know that sounds like Hitler but that's seriously how I feel. I've been telling myself for a number of years that this is why there's going to be some huge resolution in 2012.

I've come to a conclusion. ITT: Depressed outsiders looking in, trying to justify to themselves that it's better not to fit in.

I would know, because I was once like that myself.

Back when I was seventeen, I was living with undiagnosed depression, on top of undiagnosed Asperger syndrome. Back then, I hated everything about mainstream society and popular culture. I was disgusted with the sex, the drugs, the drinking, the sh***y music, all or it. Disgusted with everything social that came with being in high school. I wasn't interested in the stupid, risky behavior it seemed like everyone else around me thought was the coolest thing in the world to be taking part in.

An old journal entry of mine that pretty much sums it up:

07 January 2007 @ 07:28 pm

"It's all dragging me down. Everything. The fighting over the move; who goes and who stays, school, grades, the rain, the people, indecision, apathy, empathy... everything. It's all around me and I can't seem to get away from it. It's just there... All the time, like a weight in my mind, and I can't get rid of it. I don't know what to feel... or what to care about, if anything. Everything's just so f****d up right now, I'm becoming part of it. Like my emotions are working against my mind. I try not to care, not to give a s**t about what's going on, but I can't. It's all around me all at once, and just hate it. I hate it.

They say all good things come to those who wait, but how long will I have to wait to get where I want to be, mentally, socially, and geographically? I feel like I'm no longer a child... but not quite an adult either.... I just want to scream, but I can't. I don't even know what to scream about. I don't care enough to be upset about all this, yet I care all too much. Everything's just so f****d up.

And Jake... What the f**k does he do all day? All I see is him going to school, coming home, getting on the computer for the rest of the day, or going over to Kelly's, or both. I never see him do anything else, and it pisses me off. How can a guy with such a simple, day-in and day-out routine have so much going for him? He's got a group of friends to hang out with (who after meeting most of them for the first time on Friday, I thoroughly f****d up their image of me...), an obsessive girlfriend, who he's just as obsessive about, good grades, and all that other s**t that comes with high school popularity. All the s**t I don't seem to have.

And then there's the drug problem at school. It seems like more than half of the students at the high school are drinkers, druggies, or smokers. It makes me sick, always hearing stories about how someone got totally smashed and had a great time doing it. Or how much someone wants a cigarette right then. I mean, just shut the f**k up. All of you.

I guess I'm developing a rather cynical outlook on this place. Tuesday morning, I walked into health thinking about the overall financial status of the people on the island. I'm an average, middle-class teenager surrounded by wealthy, upper-class rich kids who are a bunch of jerks. It seems like every day, someone shows up with a new cell phone, or iPod, or camera, or an expensive new pair of headphones. It's just sickening to me, how much money these people have, and that they go and spend it on new crap they don't even need. These people have million dollar houses, multiple iPods, the latest cell phones... everything. I even know someone who got a new Jag for their 16th birthday... How over-the-top is that? Who the f**k even buys a 16 year old a Jag anyway? That's a forty-five thousand dollar car in the hands of a teenager who probably just got their license... What do you think's going to happen to that car?

Everything just sucks right now, and I don't want to deal with it, but I am. If only to get the f**k out of here and go back to where my real friends are..."

But to overcome it, (and you can) you get help, you learn to let it all go, learn to get over it, and most of all, get over yourself. You grow the f**k up. And eventually the world doesn't look like the black-and-white s**thole it did before. Depression does that s**t to you, and you don't even know it until afterwards.
