" This Generation is full of weak, pathetic, cry babies..."

[JesiBel]

No matter the generation or era, people have always committed suicide for different reasons. The fact that we know a little more about them today is because we're hyperconnected.

Humanity remains the same, with its problems, ailments and despair.

Wars and conflicts, catastrophes, injustices, economic problems, social inequality, discrimination, etc., continue today...

Im a proud crybaby

I feel like a lot of older people seriously underestimate how hard life is for younger people the more I hear them complain about "lazy kids" or whatever. They just want to feel like they're better than everyone else.

In reality, both my parents had it so good. They could afford multiple houses. My dad got to have the same high paying job for 30+ years. My mom was a homemaker who never had to work post-college. Sure, there was less technology and gadgets making life "easier", but overall life was also simpler. By comparison, I struggled for years and years and years just to scrape by, even though I was more educated and ambitious than they ever were. Everything feels like a sham. I wish I could go back to when the internet was new, cars were smaller and simpler, life was less complicated, and everything was more affordable. I miss it.

I just ignore the boomer talk. I know how tough it is for younger folks because I see them struggling every single day. It's just that our struggles are different now, and the older you get the harder it becomes to relate. Old people have complained about young people since the times of the ancient Greeks.

To me, it just reveals that most people really don't care about anyone other than themselves, otherwise they wouldn't be so damn noisy about proclaiming how superior they are to everyone else because things were "harder" for them. Even when they weren't.

People are just shitty like that.
