WHAT’S WRONG WITH THE YOUNGER GENERATION?

Today I listened to most of or all of a NPR show on the Millennia generation. I have looked at this before but was impressed about the new take on the issues prevalent with this generation. I have tended to see the theory that this is a very narcissistic generation and the future looked very bleak. This report talked about the trauma they have experienced in their life time with 9-11 and Columbine. They have known 2 wars and an economic collapse. We may need a new template to look at how they see the future and their part in it. It is not uncommon for me to hear a young adult tell me I was promised a job if I went to college and did well. I tell them this was not really a promise. I have been thinking about this and I think I thought that when I graduated from college. I was a sociology and anthropology major and thought I was "promised a job". I did get a job just not the one I had hoped for whatever that was. I believe I thought that also. Today there are no promises but we still tell kids go to college so you can get a good job but then we can't deliver. So this generation may need more guidance and understanding and maybe we need to be more open to the template that is their life. Just thoughts. Sherri
