adults, while forcing all children above the age of 5 to sit still, be silent, and obey orders for 7-8 hours a day with minimal breaks, reducing their exposure to fresh air and sunlight to almost nothing, forcing them to alter their natural sleeping patterns to increase productivity, and repeatedly telling them their self worth depends on their being able to follow these instructions perfectly for 13 or more years: kids these days are so lazy! they never go outside! they never want to do anything! clearly it’s not because of us!

And I hate this because people are always saying that we’re able to go outside at any time! That we apparently have all the time in the world to play around!

No. The whole system is fucked up because people think that we are the problems. The we, as a generation, are lazy and careless and that it has nothing to do with the fact that

1.) From the first day of kindergarten we are taught to sit and not talk to anyone

2.) That we are only to obey an adult

3.) That we are made to wake up earlier and have to trudge through a maximum of 16 hours of constant work

4.) That we are taught that it doesn’t matter when you can’t take a fucking test

5.) That it doesn’t matter what WE WANT.

We are told from day one that every thing will get harder. Hell yeah it did. We are deprived of half the amount of anything we need and even including sunlight if you would like to say so as well.

Adults over half the time think “it’s those stupid phones”. Or that “You talk with your friends too much”. Or that “you’re just lazy.”

“We had it harder than you.”

And that’s fucked up. That single phrase, “We had it harder” is the whole reason they do it. They build our lives from ground up with discipline. With constant unnecessary obstacles.

Shitty. There’s hardly any amount of adults I can personally even claim that understand what’s going on.

And by the way to any shitty person who wants to say this doesn’t happen. If anyone who reads this is one of the people who complain about us having stupid phones.

Here’s a tip. Don’t give us any if you want to complain.
