Why has the world changed so much?
People used to communicate and have pleasant conversations.
Now the only point of having friend is to have people to admire for coolness or have people admire you.
All I ever hear people talk about is shopping, drugs, and sex.
Not school work or things that have happened before.
No one wants to remember the things that have happened.
For instance, no one ever talks about the September 11th attacks anymore.
But if you’ve noticed elderly people talk all the time, even when you don’t want them to.
They talk about things that have happened, like World War II, the civil war, the American Revolution.
They talk about their lives, how they were raised. And they give advice like it’s nothing.
If only our generation gave each other advice… THAT ACCTUALLY WORKS!

Why can we be more like the elderly in a sense?
This generation is about nothing but coolness and trying to either be complete freaks or trying to fit in.
The south used to be known for having the best etiquette in the nation, but now it’s about ourselves over each other.
Men don’t open doors for women anymore, unless it’s their girl friend.
No one ever says “please” or thank you” unless they’re trying to suck up to someone.
Why is our generation so rude and careless?
