I work like a slave and still cannot get ahead. I know I cannot possibly be the only one in this position. I'm 23, I work three jobs, and I still manage to get excited if I can afford a slice of pizza. As a millennial, I am tired of hearing how incredibly lazy my generation is. We're certainly not all the way we are perceived.

I wish that things were handed to me, I wish that every time I couldn't afford something my parents would be able to hand me a stack of 50's. Instead I work like a slave, quite literally.

See the way my parents raised me, is if you didn't physically have paper to purchase than you simply needed to work until you did. I don't have a safe spot when I'm on the brink of bankruptcy.

I have hustle and I have drive.

My parents raised me and my sisters in such a fashion that we were hungry. I mean starving for money, we all went to school every morning like our lives depended on it, and now we all work like every single day the rent is due. I didn't get handed a metal for anything, quiet literally anything, maybe I wasn't good enough to receive one. I'm okay with that, it taught me life lessons about it being acceptable to loose.

I hate the people that I see on social media not attending classes or their jobs because their representative didn't win the election. The first thing I always think is, how can you be so proud as to waste your money like that, whether that be on tuition or missing out on a day of work. I wish I was as carefree that I could just completely skip one of my jobs.

I wish I could, but the risk of being fired is greater than my worry to lay down in a highway. I feel exactly how police officers feel when another person gets shot. Just because some of us are spoiled onions doesn't mean we all are.

I'm trying my best to prove other generations like the baby boomers wrong but common guys, how are we supposed to be perceived while walking around topless with signs ranting about "this p*ssy grabs back."

We have to do better, be better, live better and just accept that not everything in life is going to go your way. No one in life is going to take us seriously if this is the way we're going to continue to behave and carry ourselves.

Your sorry excuse for humans don't represent most of us but unfortunately you're getting all the attention and the rest of us are tired of it.
