Today’s Youth- The Worst or Best Yet?

I hear allot about kids today being spoiled, ungrateful and tech junkies. I read an article the other day that depicted this current generation of youth as the most inconsiderate youth in history.
Where is this opinion coming from? I just don’t see it. I have the privilege as mother, neighbor and aunt to be around a number of kids. I can honestly say I have never known greater kids. They are smart, loving and completely aware of those around them. They are so much more accepting than generations past. I see them welcome diversity in fact confused when an older adult brings up a discussion on prejudice. There normal world is a classroom blended of almost every culture in the world…a melting pot. They are technology savvy not tech junkies. They enjoy playing Xbox or Wii but they also enjoy climbing trees, playing music and making up games in the front yard.
An OA Twist: In my opinion, the youth of today are our finest youth in history. I believe they have the intelligence, talent and curiosity to make a difference in this world. They don’t see the boundaries that past generations built. They think more globally and because of the mind boggling technology advancements gifted to them, they don’t see the limits other generations may have put on themselves.
This generation was born for greatness and I am so thankful I am here to witness their impact!
