I am rather upset with my generation right now... And for good reason. I've been thinking a lot tonight, and it's been starting to annoy me that everything a person does goes up on Facebook.
Out with the boyfriend of the week? I'm sure everyone wants to know. Your food wasn't up to your high standards at a cheap fast food place? Your family and friends probably love seeing your dumb complaints all over their timeline. Or god forbid political standpoint posts. God, those are the worst. Everyone thinks their opinion is best and if you don't agree... F*ck you, you don't deserve to be on my friends list OR the Internet. It's getting ridiculous. Recently, I've been seeing a lot of relationship posts online. Don't get me wrong; when I get in a relationship I'll make the occasional post about it too. BUT THIS IS INCESSANT. It's horrible. Every. Moment. Of these people's romantic lives are online for the world to see and quite frankly it disgusts me. One of my friends (who won't be named here) is constantly posting photos of her and her boyfriend sucking face. Okay. I get this. Maybe one kissing picture, two if NECESSARY. But not. NOT. One for every single moment of each and every kiss and make out session. Then followed by overly sensual comments that I'm sure your parents have no idea you're making, and to a guy who's 17 or 18 no less. Honestly, these are the people who are likely going to be looking at unemployment or very low paying jobs in the future... If any kind of big corporation were to go through your profile and see THAT? They probably wouldn't even consider you. That's one of the biggest shows of immaturity ever, at least in my opinion. And it really makes me feel like my generation is being poorly represented by idiots like this. What brought this post on, you may ask? If you have to know, I was sitting in McDonalds with my dad earlier eating breakfast (our power and Internet went out and we needed to work) and I heard an old woman talking about modesty and how insolent and "provocative" m generation is. At first, I was a bit insulted. The people I choose to be friends with are often VERY modest, VERY respectful and quite smart, really. To hear this bothered me and caused me to think some quite... Harsh, to say the least; thoughts towards the old woman and her crass opinion. However, a glance at my timeline later reminded me that not all people my age are intelligent. Or modest. Or respectful, for that matter. You're shaming your generation, guys. You're letting us down. And worst of all, you're letting yourself down. Step it up. ~Maddie
