Even if you weren't born in the "land of opportunity", you might have noticed a slight decline on certain generational attributes that can come across as being unsettling to aggravating.
Everything happens for a reason, after all... and if the problem is with kids and the way they act, might as well chalk it up to bad parenting, right?
We come from broken generations of baby boomers to draft dodgers to not being able to pay attention to not being able to sit still when it's necessary to add you own personal diagnosis to the mix. It always manifests in something conceivably worse down the line.
If we were to focus on what could be corrected by a different brand of parenting, the more common complaints centered around millennials have often been blamed on helicopter parenting, which is what they call parents who take an overly involved role in the world of their children and as a result of which can lead to a lack of personal development among them. It would make sense that those of us who were left to our own devices learned a lot from our mistakes, and conversely children of helicopter parents might grow too accustomed to having a parent hovering nearby every turn of the rocky road that is childhood. Try to imagine how this would affect confrontations with bullies, neglecting to do things on a timely basis, and emotional conflicts with sexuality, personal image, and the importance of general independence from the womb.
As a direct contrast, we can correlate a part of yesteryear that might even be more familiar... the concept of growing up as a latchkey kid. Imagine both parents are constantly at work during the day until late evening all week. A latchkey kid would have to grow responsible for themselves at an earlier age than puberty sometimes. There are a lot of things that can go wrong with being your own disciplinarian, and let's face it... the world isn't becoming a much safer place... or is that just a point of view adapted by a world weary attitude brought on by too many blocked goals?
Fast forward to adulthood: the latchkey kid might develop disorders based on not working well with others as could the helicoptered child, but in this day and age there are many more critical of the ill results that can be generated from being a helicopter parent. Some of the popular issues are instilling selfish ideals into them and a lopsided reward/merit system (loosely dubbed the "no child left behind system") that is too often represented by competitions in which every child receives a trophy for participation. Do you think this is a great idea?
I think some of us latchkey kids are having flashbacks reading that to our sappy cartoons and sit-coms that tried extra hard to instill Christian morals into us (not that it's a bad thing), much to the dismay of a strong contrast with reality that might not make them applicable. Well, if your cartoons tell you that all bullies want is attention, and they for some reason don't stop beating you up for your lunch money, or that Jesus is going to reward you for ratting out your friends when they do something wrong... maybe the rule book might need a new revision.
So, before I lose sight of the title... Have you ever thought there were some widespread problems among people from a collective generation after or even including your own? How would you think things could have happened differently if they were addressed sooner?
...or if that doesn't interest you, you could always just post funny pictures of millennial humor. I like this one.

My own opinion is that many young people would rather snapchat or text than talk..
They have lost the ability or desire to communicate face to face or even on the phone.

Exactly, the thought of personal face to face communication panics them. What you are left with is mumbling, stuttering, shoe gazers.
I see it in work among the 20 somethings and I see it among my daughters's teenage friends. Not all of them mind you but enough of a percentage to make it troubling.
Don't even get me started on their written English. Sentence structure and punctuation are almost nonexistent. Consequently a coherent message is.....

Exactly! The net is their safety blanket between their emotions and reality on their communication vessel of choice.
A fun little experiment I've done is walking up to a millennial and asking them what a world would be like with no cell phones and Internet. The answers you're likely to get are priceless!
...but it is a troubling paradox. Just when we've found away to facilitate communication beyond borders, it gets minimized because we use the means or self-indulgent activities more often.

AOL shorthand has utterly ruined them. I've chatted with a lot of people from the U.K. and the grammar and spelling atrocities I've seen coming from their end makes me want to weep for humanity.
I don't know what it's like where you live, but I hear the state of public school classrooms are very difficult for the teachers to conduct class with the number of children acting up, ignoring the lessons, and otherwise becoming truant. It makes me thankful that I managed to go to school when the majority still seemed to respect the institution of education being directed by teachers.

I have to admit the novelty of chatting with people in other countries was fun for the first few years of being exposed to the Internet. You learn things about how people live abroad more readily... and then the trolls and scammers erase your cares about the previous.

Today's kids have very little concept of patience, everything in society is geared towards immediate gratification, from drive through food and coffee, to cable television, add in to that, the internet, which while being a tool, that has capacity to improve their lifestyle and connect them to people around the world and broaden their horizon of experience, it also removes a lot of the innocence of childhood, is also a tool to bully and attack, and a way for disconnecting with the people who are physically in their life.
24 hour children's television turned the tv into a babysitter, and the internet is an extension of that, so parents were able to "occupy" their children so as to not require the energy from them to engage them... then when it comes to the teen years, the disconnection sets in and they have no thread to pull their children back from the abyss. Children are informed on rights, and use these rights to avoid being guided or disciplined by parents, who are pandering to their children for fear of being threatened with child services, or their child hating them.
When did it become the aim of a parent to be their child's friend? You can be supportive and listen to your children without having to sacrifice the parental upper hand. There's so many different and creative ways to discipline kids, it's not just about belting them. But the majority of parents wait until their kid is in their teens and then try to lay down the law... if you don't have a respectful relationship with your child before they hit double digits, you can forget having any control in their teens.
Each generation tries to correct what they felt their parents did wrong by them... there was possibly far too many beatings and not enough discussion as to why in previous generations, but the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction, and children are ruling households, and parents are scrambling to please obnoxious offspring, who expect everything they want, the moment they want it.
The only way to raise children that aren't like that, is to have boundaries for them, and adhere to it. Have consequences for behaviours, and enforce them. Your kids may hate your for five minutes, or five days, but they will get over it, and when they're grown they will thank you for shaping them into functioning, and contributing adults.
Another factor is the increase in single parent families. When it's through divorce there's the real issue of parents undermining the authority of each other and bribing children to choose them. And when it's through the loss of a parent, the other parent is often faced with balancing soothing the grief against discipline. Children learn very quickly to play on parental emotional weaknesses, and divided parenting, means the child is in control.
And this generation often doesn't have the family and/or community support of previous generations. How many people know their neighbours and every person in their street or surrounding streets, these days. As a kid, no matter where I wandered with my friends, I was known to the adults around, who would not hesitate to report my bad behaviour to my parents, or correct my behaviour themselves. And there would be consequences when my parents found out.

Hello Mona, very good post and I put in bold the points that I strongly agree with you on..
I had three children, but I lost one..
My husband and I determined before my oldest daughter was born that we were not going to
We took different parenting approaches, but with a daughter who will soon be fifteen it appears to be working..
Thanks again Mona, I think you covered most bases with this post.

You are up early today shin..
Do you have a three day weekend?

I wake up early on most days, Fash. the birds chirping outside my window usually make sure of it.
I don't have any special plans.
