Dear Millennial Generation,

There are a few things I would like to say about our modern day thoughts and actions.

You are made up of a bunch of weak, overly sensitive sissies who need to get over themselves.

Seriously, stop playing the victim card.

Every single criticism in this world is not an attack on who you are as a human being, your beliefs, or yourself. You're just taking things way too personally. Don't believe me? It's come to the point where certain individuals are offended by Starbucks coffee cups.

COFFEE CUPS, PEOPLE!

I'm sorry that a piece of cardboard has offended you so much by not being politically correct in including all holidays. Why don't we just throw Groundhog Day in there while we're at it, because I'm a little offended that there aren't any special cups for that, too.

The world is not against you and it is not unfair. In fact, the world is very fair, because it is unfair to everyone. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps, put on your big boy pants (and, I guess, I should mention big girl pants, too, in case the feminist population isn't already breathing down my neck) and just get over it.

I shouldn't have to carefully tiptoe over every word that comes out of my mouth, simply because it may hurt someone's feelings or be, dare I utter the words, politically incorrect. Does this mean I should go around insulting people and be impolite for no justifiable reason? No. But if I have an opinion or thought that may not align with someone else's standards or opinions, then, well that's just too bad.

We are living in a generation of over-counseling, over-censoring, and over-protecting its people. You are not a special and unique snowflake like your mother once told you to make you feel good about yourself. Being sheltered from the harsh realities of the world by holding mommy and daddy's hand is not what our generation needs.

Innocent jokes cannot be made anymore for the sake of sparing everyone else's feelings. People used to be able to breathe air without having someone be offended by it. What happened to two individuals having diverse opinions, and having an educational, civil debate about it?

Nowadays, if you have an opinion different from someone else's, all hell will break loose by one of the million social activist groups monitoring every period and comma down to a T, when the original thing spouted from someone's mouth had absolutely no intention of offending anyone, and it sure as hell didn't have anything to do with specifically hurting you. But the world is out to get you, right?

If you are offended by this article, then you are the exact person I am talking about. Jokes will be made. Not everyone will agree on the same things. There is room for plenty of opinions without people going up in arms about it (cue someone being offended by the Second Amendment), but by having educational and rational discussions about it. Not acting like a bunch of babies who cry wolf over every little thing they feel hurt by. You cannot protest over every little thing that gets under your skin. You cannot riot just because someone looks at you the wrong way. It's time to grow the hell up and face the world like adults.

I'm posting this article for the world to see and read if they so desire. Not all of you will agree with it. I'm sure some of you will think I'm an insensitive a**hole. And I'm sure others could radically turn this into making me sound like a racist, sexist, bigoted jerk. I'm sure some of you will even take the time to comment on Facebook to tell me your opinions.

And I will not be offended in the slightest. Because that is your right as a human being to have those opinions and to speak of them. But, it is also my right to tell you that I do not give one single sh*t.

Sincerely,

A frustrated Millennial who is offensive for being offended
