Dear Millennials,

From one millennial to another, I have to say I am quite disappointed with all of us. We are seen as a rude generation, always on our phones, and whine when we do not get our way. There is just so much pettiness. Why do you want to be known as this? We are so much better. We need to take the time to listen to other people's opinions and beliefs. If a person says something that you do not agree with, calmly tell them your opinion. Do not get so easily angered. That causes arguments and chaos. Our world is already in chaos and we should not be adding to it. We are the ones that can make the world a better place. We cannot do that when we are arguing over what others personally think and believe. Rudeness is not acceptable. We should be appreciating our elders and have respect for them. Many of them have gone through enough in their lifetime and they do not need another "punk" being extremely rude to them. We need to show the generations before us that we are capable of handling ourselves and the world they are going to leave to us. Pettiness is something that cannot happen all the time. It's like picking your battles. Pick the right times to be petty. An example of an okay time to be petty is when you find out someone has cheated on you. That is a fine time to do it, but other times like after the election results is not a good time. Now, I do know that some of you are still heartbroken about what has happened election wise but too many whine about it and do not think any of this through. Some of us believe that Trump is already in office and for you folks that do, he is NOT in office yet. He won't be sworn in until mid to late January. For those that are really mad Clinton supporters, please just give the man a chance. We really have no idea what he will do until he is actually in office so do not judge him for his works. For those that decided to have protests and what not, I love your enthusiasm for trying to get Clinton into office after the winner was announced but, America already voted and as a nation, we voted for who would be best for our country. I know I have 'triggered' a lot of people with this but it needs to be said. We need to stop acting like children and be the civilized adults we are supposed to be.

Sincerely,

A Millennial Hoping For Better Millennials
