What is it like being young in today’s society? - Help.com

being young in today’s society, is something new, and exciting everyday! Everything moves at such a fast pace. I hope for what I think everyone hopes for, true love, hapiness, a great future ahead, and a better world for the next generation:)

opposite of first poster: the world is rotting out and has lost it’s ideological centre. In Keirkegaardian terms, the west has lost its faith, and we’re lost in a postmodern jungle of half-formed philosophies.

Additionally, mass culture is killing intellectualism at an alarming rate, a symtopm of the market system, sadly. There is no forum for serious philosophical questioning as there was in the 60s for the youth element: we’re too into youtube and facebook. the 21st Century may as well be the end of thought.

only the upper bourgeois did anything worth blame in your generation, I thought it well rounded.

im fifteen and in todays society, being young sucks.. well for me anyways. i have five brothers two sisters, and two step brothers, and maybe if my mom gets married.. two step sisters. my life is crazy. im the oldest in the house because my older brother and sister moved out. my parents are divorced. i practically raise my little brothers and sister. my little “brother” that we were planning on adopting got taken right out of my hands in the front yard by his drug user mom(my aunt, long story) my dad and i don’t talk since i moved out of his house two and a half months ago. i live with my mom and baby sister. never get to see my four brothers or my older sister. don’t have a dad figure in life. i never get to get out of the house because im always babysitting or doing the homework that i have had for two weeks that i have not been able to get done because im too busy doing dishes, sweeping, mopping, vaccuming, making beds, cleaning rooms, and the list goes on! my mom isn’t home much so its just my little 20 month old baby sister and i. we spend a lot of time playing little games of ring around the posies, chasing eachother around the house, peek-a-boo, hide-n-seek(which surpringly she is very good at!) i love her so much. she is pretty much my life. im not like any other teenager that goes out on the weekends. im in the house making breakfast lunch and dinner, and making sure that the appartment is clean for when my mom gets home. all my friends think im rediculous because im practically an adult. which is pretty much true. but all i want is for my parents to be happy. but if i can’t do both, then why not do it for the one parent that acually cares about me right? yea, so life sucks for the most part. im just waiting for the one time when i can acually get out of here and have my own life.. not the one where i take care of my little sibilings… :[ well here it is.. for me anyways. you can ask almost any other teenager and they will tell you they go out every weekend partying, they lost their virginity by/before highschool, ect. BUT NOT ME!!! :] im waaayyy different from your average “young person” i guess you would say. -unique
