Reasons This Generation Isn't as Bad as People Think

The Top Ten
1 Science is continually progressing

I mean, less than a year ago, we never had any pictures of Pluto. Science will never stop being discovered!

2 Teen smoking has gone down since the 2000s
3 We live in the golden age of technology

Technology is better and progressing faster than ever before. We may be a bit too dependent on it, but it's saved lives.

I'm SICK of people complaining about the new generation, this generation is awesome!

Somethings I question wether this is a good thing. does that technology really make our lives better? maybe if I lived in another genertion I wouldn't spend my entire life on my computer. that's probaly my fault, anyway, though

People try to put us down just because we get around.

4 We have the Internet

Even though it can be used for many foolish purposes, it is the greatest learning source to ever be invented.

Indeed, I credit it as the greatest invention ever made yet

Thank you internet! I don't know what I'd do without you

5 We still have good media

There are still some totally awesome movies and T.V. shows and possibly music out there. Don't loose hope in media! There's still good stuff out there!

6 Video games have gotten better

Even if some games have flaws, you can still accept and like them the way they are.

7 Kids are more imaginative

Even though they spend less time playing make-believe (because they're always on electronics), studies show that elementary school kids in 2008 found imaginary play very comfortable and that they could all contribute ideas of imagination, causing them to be more imaginative than kids of the same age group in 1985.

8 Teen pregnancy has gone down since the '80s

Really? Well, that's good!

9 Kids get along with their parents better

It seems (as I have read) that since the '70s, kids have spent more time with their parents, resulting in a positive connection.

10 Society is more accepting of autistic people

As someone with autism, I am very glad that society can accept people like me and not force me to live in an asylum. We are all human too, you know...

I have aspergers, a mild form of autism, and while it doesn't cause a lot of probelms for me right now, I don't think I would have gotten along so well in another generation

The Contenders
11 IQ scores are going up
12 Society is more accepting of the LGBT community

definitely

13 Since the '80s, there have been fewer teen driving accidents
14 Better pop music
15 People live longer
16 People are Accepting of ADHD
