The truth hurts, doesn’t it. Brookes is spot on. Kids in the past 25 years or so never had it so good. When I did essays in college, I had to go to the library (Google it to find out what library means). Didn’t have cell phones, internet or social media. And our generation was better off for it. When I wanted to speak to people, I either picked up the phone and actually talked to them, or else I drove to visit with them. We never had to worry about “text neck” because we weren’t frickin’ glued to some electronic device we are addicted to. We jumped rope and played tag for free, and didn’t play expensive addictive and violent video games. We never had to worry about some nut coming through the school shooting the place up. Most of us had jobs in the summer and after school. And if you disrespected a teacher you were sent to the principal’s office. And it wasn’t for a nice chat. I for one think we had it better than any other generation.
