I gotta get this off my chest: what the fuck is wrong with my generation?
Everything is doom and gloom, and blaming your parents for how you turned out. If that sub were accurate, you'd be forgiven for thinking that the whole generation is experiencing a bad case of arrested development, and that the ones who weren't cut short (like pictured) want to actively regress.
Most of the people I know are millennials, and they're normal, well-adjusted human beings. But the reddit variety is something else. Ten thousand people saw this, and thought, "yeah, I'd rather be 15 too!"
The irony is that so many of their parents raised them under the philosophy that their happiness was supposed to be the most important thing, encouraging them to pursue what they love for schooling, not apparently pushing them out of their comfort zone, letting them figure themselves out unsupervised on the internet, and here they are, unhappy and it's all supposedly their parents' fault.
Like, I get that for a lot of them, life isn't turning out to be some fairy tale (who doesn't know an alcoholic?), but per the post title, where's the character building? Ten thousand people seeking validation for their mistakes.
