    The next generation. They seem to be standing up for themselves more, they’re speaking up about their issues, they’re refusing to just roll over and be obedient little wage slaves. Millenials like me might be beyond hope, but the next generation gives me hope.

      I echo this sentiment so much. A lot of folk my age or older like to place the blame on the younger ones for issues beyond their control (like generations before them lol) but I do see the younger ones being a lot more outspoken about issues. I feel like its up to us older generations to ensure that they can actually achieve those dreams and make a change, rather than just blindly criticizing them.

      Maybe it’s just the young people I know, but the people I know in their late teens (nieces, nephews etc) are all genuinely good people - better than I was.

      They’re certainly far more aware and supportive of each other than I ever was twenty years ago.
