I very much doubt ,my parents or grandparents had the same thoughts about the younger generation than what I do today , being born in the 40's .
IMO growing up in the 50's ,and 60's is something that I wish all kids could of experienced , it was simple, uncomplicated ,and certainly no worries about getting shot by another classmate . Sure there were the bullies ,but apparently nothing like it is today. In all of my school years , there was never a suicide that I recall . Recently we had a local 10 year old commit suicide . It's a common occurrence with the young nowadays , that is not progress nor a better world than the 50's ,and 60's that I grew up in .
I agree totally with the OP I do not envy the younger generation ,and the world they are going to face in the coming years . History has proven what happens to all great society's, they self destruct . I am sure they never listened either to what was happening.
