Further proof that iGen (aka Generation Z) is broken

This sounds made up.

 

If those kids ripped up reefers like the rich and wise Boomers, everything would've been fine!

 

Yet here we are.

You guys are all old at heart and mind and have ceased to be relevant, and now you rail at the dying of the light and the rising of the new sun. This **** is weird, but you know what? So was piercing everything under the sun 25 years ago, and tattooing anything that showed with your t-shirt on. Before that, no man outside of sailors or soldiers would get a tattoo, and no American man would get their ears pierced. Before that, no woman would show skin outside of a little bit of ankle, and every man wore a three piece suit and hat.

Just embrace the zeitgeist and experience change for what it is: Life at it's fullest, exciting and wild and new every day. This global, constantly connected 24-7 world is amazing.

 

If I were the Uber driver, and those kids were in handcuffs and not able to get in the car, I would charge them for $5 cancellation fee. What a waste of my Uber time!

This is also an age-old commentary on youth. Being young=more risk taking.

Understanding the Teen Brain

It doesn’t matter how smart teens are or how well they scored on the SAT or ACT. Good judgment isn’t something they can excel in, at least not yet.

The rational part of a teen’s brain isn’t fully developed and won’t be until age 25 or so.

In fact, recent research has found that adult and teen brains work differently. Adults think with the prefrontal cortex, the brain’s rational part. This is the part of the brain that responds to situations with good judgment and an awareness of long-term consequences. Teens process information with the amygdala. This is the emotional part.

In teen’s brains, the connections between the emotional part of the brain and the decision-making center are still developing—and not necessarily at the same rate. That’s why when teens experience overwhelming emotional input, they can’t explain later what they were thinking. They weren’t thinking as much as they were feeling.

What's a parent to do?
You’re the most important role model your kids have. Sure, their friends are important to them, but the way you behave and fulfill your responsibilities will have a profound and long-lasting effect on your children.

• Discussing the consequences of their actions can help teens link impulsive thinking with facts. This helps the brain make these connections and wires the brain to make this link more often.
  
  
• Remind your teens that they’re resilient and competent. Because they’re so focused in the moment, adolescents have trouble seeing they can play a part in changing bad situations. It can help to remind them of times in the past they thought would be devastating, but turned out for the best.
  
  
• Become familiar with things that are important to your teens. It doesn’t mean you have to like hip-hop music, but showing an interest in the things they’re involved in shows them they’re important to you.
  
  
• Ask teens if they want you to respond when they come to you with problems, or if they just want you to listen.
  

Parents tend to jump in with advice to try to fix their children’s problems or place blame. But this can make teens less likely to be open with their parents in the future. You want to make it emotionally safe and easy for them to come to you, so you can be part of their lives.

Signs of trouble
It’s normal for teens to be down or out of sorts for a couple of days. But if you see a significant mood or behavioral change that lasts more than 2 weeks, it could mean something else is going on, such as depression.

If you think your teen could be depressed, promptly seek professional treatment for your child. Depression is serious and, if left untreated, can be life-threatening.

Your teen needs your guidance, even though they may think they don’t. Understanding their development can help you support them in becoming independent, responsible adults.
