You are correct. I’m 35, my parents are in their 60s, and my paternal grandfather fought in World War II and enlisted at 18. The reality is a lot of things used to happen back in the 40s that just don’t anymore, mainly because attitudes of changed about a lot of things. It used to be in the 40s and 50s that kids would get hit with a ruler if they didn’t behave in school. They don’t do that nowadays because it’s not an effective tool. What people who post these tired out memes don’t get is that if you are over the age of 50 or 60, you are part of the generation that raised “today’s kids that get offended over everything“ I know several people these days that have college age kids. They were born in the 70s and early to late 60s. My parents were born in the 50s which makes them baby boomers. My teachers in grade and high school are at the earliest they are in their 40s and at the latest they are probably in their 60s or 70s. I graduated high school in 2004. If you want to complain that kids these days are soft, look in the mirror. You raised them this way, and you taught them this way. A lot of the things that you taught them people are rebelling about because you were wrong. I was raised in high school that if I didn’t go to college I would work at McDonald’s. I graduated in 2007, wasn’t able to find anything close to my field, and and forth the string of customer service and warehouse jobs. My sister graduated college in 2000 and had a similar turn out, and also had to go back to school and is now a successful teacher. Don’t blame liberals for your problem. The problem is yourselves.
