I went to a a pretty wealthy high school and probably 90% of the people I graduated with don’t have a tattoo and wouldn’t get one. It seems like in small towns or suburbs it’s a much bigger thing sadly. Never marrying a girl with a tattoo personally.

The generation that raised you abandoned God and your generation largely doesn’t even know who He is. The best advice you can get is to read the 4 gospels, pray the Our Father everyday, and find a Christian community to be a part of. No matter what anyone tells you, the simple truth is that God is real. And He is all that is love and truth. If you search your heart in earnest and have faith you will find fulfillment and joy in the Lord.

All of the meaningless distracting bullshite in this material life will not bring you happiness. It will simply mask the emptyness you feel when your soul misses Christ.

The narcissistic materialism dominating society is like really good heroin. You may say you love it and you may feel great when you have it and you may look around and say it’s ok to be addicted because everyone else is, but in the long run you’re just becoming another worthless empty junkie with an unfulfilled life and painful addiction cycle.

God bless and good luck.

Y'all are forced to go to schools that are more reminiscent of prisons run by inmates or asylums run by psychotic patients than of actual institutions of learning. Your parents don't care about you enough to set up opportunities for you to meet kids your age in the real world and hang out, which would be bad enough, but then they do the one thing even worse than locking you in your room, they hand you a tablet with an Internet connection and let that be your social life.

Those of you who either had good parents or the good sense and luck to break out of that insanity need to stick together and ruthlessly gatekeep the shitty losers out of your life. It's the only way to stay sane. You won't have as many people to call friends but you'll have more people who actually are friends and will carry you through.

You may need medication if you can focus for five paragraphs.

That’s definitely part of it. But it goes deeper than that. Your generation, more than any other before, has grown up in a world where from the time they’re born they’re completely immersed in radical leftist propaganda. It permeates virtually every form of media and education your generation has been exposed to your entire life. The result is your generation is thoroughly indoctrinated in leftist ideology.

Previous generations were taught how to think for themselves. Your generation has been taught what to think. The concept of an independent thought is as foreign to your generation as algebra is to a dog.

Pervious generations were taught to not judge people by their race and to treat everyone the same. Your generation has been taught race is the determining factor in everything in a person’s life and certain races, namely the white race, is inherently evil.

Previous generations were taught that if you want to get ahead in life, you have to earn your way. Your generation has been taught anything that doesn’t go your way is because you’re a victim.

Previous generations were taught to grow up and start families of their own. Your generation is taught homosexual fetishism and to persue a childless life of empty materialism and indulgence of sexual deviance.

Pervious generations were taught to love our country for all its good. Your generation has been taught about colonization and how evil our country is.

I hate to tell you this, but you need to hear it. Yours is the generation that most likely will be the one who spent their childhood in a thriving society, their adulthood in a declining society, and their later years in the dystopian remains of a collapsed society.

Basically a Boomer-esque rant on Gen-Z.

And everyone is always recording and sharing online. Nothing can ever just be a moment to yourself or with the people around you, you always have to share it somewhere online.

This really has made life horrible. I've broken up with girls over having my life online because they have to have there's. I'm to private of a person to enjoy this trend.

I'm glad I grew in a time that it wasn't a thing.

Menu Anxiety And 13 Other Very Real Anxieties Gen Z Faces





quote:

Thanks to a study that went viral on social media, the world learned this past week about 'menu anxiety' - which is apparently the fear of having to order food off a menu. As it turns out, the vast majority of Generation Z suffers from menu anxiety. Sad!

Choosing food cooked for you from a pre-determined menu is, sadly, not the only deep terror plaguing young Americans.

Here are 13 more very real anxieties Gen Z faces:

Talking To A Person Anxiety: When you have to talk to a person. In person!


GIF Anxiety: When you can't figure out what GIF to send a friend. Or how to pronounce GIF.

Breathing Anxiety: When you have to breathe to stay alive.

Anxiety Anxiety: When you're not currently anxious about something and that makes you anxious.

Large Mackerel Anxiety: When you're worried there is a large mackerel somewhere in your vicinity.

Netflix Anxiety: When you can't decide between two extremely dark series both guaranteed to only last two seasons.

Everything Is Cancer Anxiety: When everything you ever feel, like slight bloating after eating six tamales, is a sure sign of cancer.

Snowflake Anxiety: When you are anxious about snow because any movement could destroy a unique, delicate snowflake.

Latte anxiety: When you're in the line at Starbucks and you really want a caramel soy latte but eesh, maybe you want a peppermint one and oh shoot you can't remember what Venti means and everyone's staring at you.


Where Is My Phone Anxiety: REEEEE!!!!!!

Duck Face Anxiety: When your picture was taken but you're not sure if your face looked enough like a duck. Applies to girls only.

Annihilation Anxiety: When you don't believe in God, so you think death is the end of your consciousness rendering all of life terrifying and devoid of meaning. Whoa!

Things Aren't Free Anxiety: When you are confronted with things you might have to work for to obtain.

Pray for Gen Z, people!

Gen Z is an example of what happens when parents don’t instill discipline and humbleness into their children.

We have a generation of college students now who don’t want families; they want to stick to their social cliques, go out to bars, and post Instagram pictures of themselves getting shitfaced with their BFFs. It’s fricking pathetic. And I say that as an older Gen Z’er (currently 24)

Social media absolutely fricked Gen Z on a completely different level. The current generation of undergrad college students had Instagram and Snapchat when they were only 10 and 11 years old. Some of them have literally have used social media their entire childhood. That will absolutely affect a kid’s outlook on life as well as how their ability to intake information, and it’s why the overwhelming majority of Gen Z’ers are far-left fricktards.

At least Millenials know how to separate social media from reality, because most of them grew up without it. Gen Z’ers don’t know how to separate social media from reality, because it’s all they’ve known their entire life.
