Personally, I really dislike my generation. I feel like we are easily offended, overly idealistic and extremely vain. Obviously not everyone in this generation is like this, but so many are. This is seen by mainstream teen culture and the things it values, (nice shoes, attractive features, nice skin, a put together style, perfect hygiene). Of course, there's nothing inherently wrong with these things and they've always been valued in western culture as they are indicators of good health and economic standing. However, I feel like the obsession with them is absurd and ridiculous.

At the same time, I feel like a large number of us are pretty grounded and hard working, even despite the common culture. Many of us have been raised by first generation Americans and have seen firsthand how ridiculous so many (NOT ALL 🙄) millennials were.

However, at my point in life the majority are pretty pessimistic about things they actually have to work for, like so many people in my advanced classes especially chem and math are dropping it because it's hard. It's true that its hard but it's easy for me to maintain A's because of recourses on yt. We don't realize how privileged we are.
