the weirdest thing about the american education system is that pretty much every teenager ever is so stressed out about schools that they pray for disasters or fake illness or try to kill themselves and yet nobody has ever thought to themselves “hey maybe our system is flawed” and instead all they ever think is “kids these days are so lazy and selfish” like what the fuck is up with that man

Because every single generation of adults thinks, “Yup, we got it right, THIS is how things are supposed to be. And this new-fangled stuff our kids are doing and saying and feeling is just bonkers and wrong because they don’t know shit about anything and they’re just messed up and we don’t know why. We didn’t raise them to be this way.”

I think when people get to be a certain age, they just stop believing that things change and progress without their permission, and that the next generation’s needs just MIGHT be different from their own.

But on the bright side, our generation will one be the last generation and we will be more accepting of the next generations mental & physical health and technological advancements.
