The youth
My younger brother lives with me out here in vegas and its amazing how much he has accomplished on his own, he is in the 11th grade and is going to a vocational school to be a pharmacist, on top of that he has his license and saved up to get his car, he is now the proud owner of a 98 mustang GT 4.8L, he has been working the entire summer doing construction to pay this car, what i like about it the most is he has done everything for himself, with a very strong support from me.
The youth now adays is spoon fed everything, they whine or throw a emotional hissy fit, and they get what they want without actually earning it, i know my generation is fucked up, and the lower generations are even worst, im 24 years old im turning 25 in acouple of days around this time i start to reevaluate my life and see if im happy with the things i have done, and i acutally realized this year i have done more then most of my friends will ever do in their life span, and im proud to have life and be living, but i can actually say i earned it,
Here is something i noticed, back when i was a kid my parents both worked and i was always playing outside and we never had a fear of being kidnapped, i could say i spent a good portion of my young life playing outside, but now adays i dont see any kids paying outside they are carmmed inside playing video games or on their computers, or mobile phones, you wonder why your kid has no social skills , its because he talks to the monitor infront of him or the screen on the television its become their best friend, when i was young we never even heard of A.D.D or H.A.D.D, or bi polar, or depression, i ask my mother if when she was young did she ever see a kid with A.D.D and she stated never, so when did we have a invisable emotional epidimic, we never did we got lazy parents who instead of letting their kids burn out all the energy outside playing rather feed them drugs to slow them down, or talk and spend time with them so they dont develope emotional " disorders " its sad to see my generation young girls having kids at 15 years old, stupid kids going to jail at 17, and i was among them, im not going to sit here and say i wasn't i ran away from home at the age of 16, spent half a year in a metal institution, been in and out of juvenile detention centers, been to jail twice, but i corrected these issues, i am now a network engineer i have my home, my car, and a job i enjoy doing, i strighten the fuck out ! i got my college degree, and if it wasn't for these events in my life i probably be dead or worst still being spoon fed by my parents,
my point here is im a indivisual that see's his life at the bottom becaue it helps me strive for better things, once i reach the top i throw myself back in the shitter, because i will always try harder !
