Sad Generation

Being a child or a teenager in
the 21st century is completely different to what it was like in our
parents’ generation. Honestly, I don’t think there are any similarities.
First of all, nowadays, kids and
teenagers face lots of problems like bullying, stress, low self-esteem and peer
pressure. Our parents didn’t have these issues because there was no social
media! Social media is the main reason why teenagers have these problems, Many
times, they try to overcome their problems all by themselves which can lead to
depression or even suicide.
Besides all of this, I think
social media has also made teenagers and kids less active and happy. Childhood
should be about playing sports, climbing trees and running outside. However, nowadays,
kids just watch TV and the only games they play are online games.
On the other hand, in our
parents’ generation, teenagers would stay in the garden playing games and doing
sports until the sun went down. Teenagers weren’t concerned about whether they
had trendy clothes or top mobile phones. They just wanted to hang out with true
friends!
In my view, our parents’
generation is definitely happier than ours. There were less problems and
everyone had fun!
