The Downfall Of The Upcoming Generation

It's not getting any better.

The Downfall Of The Upcoming Generation
Raven Reflections

The social uprising in today's society has caused men to be raised without chivalry and children to be fed garbage. I know that obesity and chivalry are on two different ends of the spectrum, but with each one there are rising consequences. I sincerely feel sorry for the upcoming generation because the obesity rates are only rising and the sea of so called "fish" are slowly running out of water.

I really want to begin with the obesity rates, especially in children. This is a topic that I have always been heavily influenced by and I don't think others know how detrimental it is. I believe that it starts with the parents. The amount of laziness that is embarked on by the parents and the children is absurd. Parents are feeding their children food that has no nutritional value. Parents allow their children to be engulfed with Ipad games, TV shows and video games, so they are basically teaching them how to be lazy. If you take part in that then good job, you are raising your child how not to succeed in life. Did you know that by 2030 nearly half of Americans are predicted to be obese? That's ridiculous! There are so many resources that are available, so stop making excuses and save your child's confidence.

Now for the future ladies in the upcoming generation, I just feel sorry for you gals. What is it with men? Even in my day and age, men act as if the women are supposed to ask the men out. Since when did it become so difficult to ask a girl out for lunch? Men resort to Facebook messenger or Snapchat to send a message. Those resources were not available back in the day and somehow they managed, so I think you fellows can manage as well. Men are intimidated by successful women who have confidence. Isn't that the perfect woman, though? You can forget about finding a man that is well built because the ones that are, are douchey. It's like a never ending cycle of a no win situation. Sometimes I have to just sit back and laugh because men actually think that these standards are okay. And no, your grunting and posing in the gym is not attractive.

Ladies, keep your head held high and your standards held higher. In a sea of douche bags, there is one not so douche bag. Fellas, chivalry is not dead so stop acting like it is. And parents, please stop feeding your kids garbage. This is our next generation, so let's make it great.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
