Adults, if you keep underestimating the kids, the kids are going to keep overestimating you.
If you keep telling them they're irresponsible, that's all they're ever going to be.
If you keep telling them that they're not old enough to learn, they'll never get there and they'll never know.
Just remember that the world is this close to being ours, its up to you to teach us how to run it.
More than that, its up to you to teach is that we CAN run it.
Because right now, all we're getting is the news that our generation is going to crash the world.
I don't want to be responsible for something like that.
So stop telling us that our generation is terrible, spoiled, irresponsible, immature, demanding, addicted to screens, and just not good enough.
Start expecting more from us. Start letting us know that we CAN be better. Start showing us our potential.
Let us be responsible and we can be, but if you step in at every turn we're never going to learn how to be.
Kids, stop overestimating the adults. They can't fix all of our problems.
If they keep saying we're irresponsible tell them that we don't have the chances to prove ourselves.
If they keep saying we're too young to learn how it works, find it out for yourself.
Just remember that the world is this close to being ours, and it's going to be up to us to run it.
More than that, its going to be up to us to teach the next generation to run it.
So even though right now all anyone has to say is that we're going to crash the world...
I REFUSE to be a part of the generation that destroyed centuries of work.
So lets stop being terrible, spoiled, irresponsible, immature, demanding, and let them know we ARE good enough. Then just to prove them wrong, let's look up from our screens once in a while.
MAKE them start seeing more in us. Show them that we CAN be better. Let's show them our potential.
Let's show them that we're better than they ever thought we could be. Let them see that we can do it on our own, if they let us.
Adults, stop underestimating us. I'm done being brushed aside, sold short, and underrated just because I'm young. We might not have the experience, but we'll never get that experience if you don't let us try our hand at the world. And yeah, we're going to fail a few times on our way there, but you did, too.
Kids, stop lying down and taking it. Stop letting everything be made easy for us. Start asking for the challenges. Stop letting them take us as fools. We are NOT. We have access to so much more information than any other previous generation has had. Why are we not doing more with it? Why has school become a bad thing? Because we have to learn? Would you rather just not know anything?
I've had it up to here with being underestimated, and I'm sure I can't be the only one.
Stop making school easy, kids can do so much more than what you have them doing. It doesn't matter what grades they have, or how well they pay attention, they can do so much more. I guarantee you that even the kids with straight f's could do SO MUCH BETTER if you expected more.
What's expected of us right now?
We're expected to crash and burn.
We're expected to be entirely reliant on electronic devices to function.
We're expected to have higher crime and illegal drug rates than ever before.
And that's what's going to happen.
Because that's what you expect.
Stop expecting that of us.
Stop taking that as given.
Stop telling us that's just the way of things.
Because I refuse to be a part of the generation that crashed and burned.
