Millennials are born between the years 1990-2002. There are many negative stereotypes about this generation. Some of the stereotypes include that Millenials are stupid, lazy, unambitious, self-centered and unwilling to help others.

Places and names will remain anonymous during this article.

Earlier this semester I overheard a couple of people talking about how much they hated this "new generation." At the time I had just decided to listen in and try to see if they had actual evidence of why they felt that way. But they didn't. They just kept talking about how Millennials are self-centered and don't want to help society.

This is to give my story of why I think that is absolute bullshit.

On Friday, April 15th my mom, brother, and I went out to eat at our favorite restaurant. When we were done we went out, full and happy, to the dark back parking lot. Getting into the car we tried to start it, and tried again, and again. Nothing. It wasn't the battery (because the battery worked). We tried to start it a few more times just to see if luck would be with us. We then heard a tap on the window. On the other side was this girl, no older than a senior in high school, wondering if we were alright. We told her our situation. The girl and her friends offered to jump us, since calling for a tow would be expensive. So we gave it a shot.

During the time of us taking her and her friends up on the kind offer many adults walked out, got into their cars and drove away. None of them seemed to notice the group of teens giving us a jump start.

But still, no luck with the jump start. They went into the restaurant to get one of the workers who knew about cars. They came out with this young guy, who was a junior in high school. He popped the top and told us that it was the starter that was the problem. We would have to bump it.

We hooked up our car to his, with a large rope that he had in his vehicle. He drove our car around the parking lot while we tried to bump it. But still no luck. And now the rope was broken.

During this time more adults came out, and still none of them said or did anything.

Now with a group of teens to our aid, we pushed the car at running speed to see if we could bump it that way. By this time about 90 minutes had passed, and still no luck.

Finally seeing as how we exhausted all of our sources, we called my cousin who is very good with cars. He said that he would be able to come and get us as soon as he could.

I, getting cold, went back into the restaurant. I talked with the workers as they were turning the tables about the situation. The workers had been so nice and they were going to let us keep our car in the parking lot for the night with a note so it didn't get towed.

Finally, my cousins (who are part of the Millennial generation) were able to come and rescue us.

After two hours of attempting to get the car started it was still only the Millennials who had helped us, despite having countless adults (in the Baby Boomer generation) pass us.

On Saturday, that same cousin was able to fix the car.

While this is only one example of the actual character of the Millennial generation, I believe that it can represent the population. These people were kind, helpful, determined, and were thinking of new ways to help in the situation.
