Sadly, the older generation (mine) has let you young people down horribly. We are leaving you a polluted, dying world without enough jobs, with broken governments and an economy that is totally based on greed.
But that does not mean that the individual older person has nothing to offer you. We have experienced many of the that are troubling you and have muddled through. A few of us have actually learned some things in our lives that could save you going through the same difficulties, but a very few of you will listen to your elders, so you will go through may of the same unpleasant things.
On IIN, it seems to be about an even split. Half of you just blow me off when I try to give constructive help, (which is certainly not every post).
But in the end, it's your choice; learn from those who have been there and done that all before, possibly saving yourselves some hardships and pain, or find your own way and perhaps look back one day and wish you had listened to some of those "old fools". I certainly wish I had listened to one or two of those "old fools", myself.
Does the youth in America respect the older generations?
