[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally don’t like those with the mindset of “this generation sucks” or “this generation is doomed”. I am 24 years old and currently pregnant with my first child. I used to have this mindset but started seeing the bright side of it all and honestly I had no one to help me in any way. I don’t want my child coming into a world where his/her parents have a negative mindset. We must show them the positive side of this world and let them know it is their turn write their own story and hopefully help change the world.[/quote]
I’m a Gen-Xer so I’ve been through a few crises.  This feels different for 2 reasons: 1. The enemy isn’t the USSR or outside. It’s an authoritarian government. And the country is divided. The government and any safety net are falling apart. They are going after courts, law firms, universities, research.  2. Climate crisis.  It’s going to get worse.  But I agree that people in this world have gone through horrible things and kept having kids.  I am scared for my Gen Z kids even if I try to find the positives. I don’t think those sentiments are mutually exclusive. [/quote]

I agree. I've lived through many presidents and many crisis....this feels very dark and for the first time I don't trust our government at all. It's not good-we need to stop ignoring what we all see.[/quote]
