There is a huge misconception between the youth compared to the generation of our parents and our grandparents. From the ages of 17-25, young adults and the future of our society continues to stay silent with the pressing issues that are upon us. Our parents and grandparents still have the foolish way of thinking that they are still the ones that should be dictating how our society is run and that it is the decisions that they make that are going to be the most beneficial.
I am here speaking on behalf of the millions of kids, students, and young adults to say that it is one hundred percent ludicrous. The decisions that are made now, are gonna be the decisions that effect us, the youth of America and all across the world who's voice have been dismissed and ridiculed for so long but it is time for a change. It is time for us to speak up and it is time for people to listen.
Taking from my own experience, the voice of an ordinary teenager or young adult is shot down before it is even remotely mentioned. We are shut down, getting told that, "We do not know what the real world is like." However these very same people are baffled by the improvements in technology and the amount of knowledge that us young adults have on it. The bottom line is that yes, we do not know what the real world is like, but at that very same time, neither do middle aged adults anymore.
They do not know that times are changing from the way they knew things before. Throughout my following writings I will explore topics such as politics, environment, education, money but this will be from the perspective of the generation that these decisions are directly effecting.
It's time we speak.
