Don't get me wrong—I love that I was born in the 90s. We had the best TV shows, like "All That," "The Powerpuff Girls" and "Dexter's Laboratory." We had the best toys, like Furbies, Polly Pockets and Betty Spaghetti. But what I don't love about our generation is the people we are becoming. Let me explain.

We have been raised as "the generation that can change the world" (or, at least, I feel like we were). We were told we could do anything we set our minds to. While this is a true statement and something I remind myself every day, I feel that our generation has an undeserved sense of entitlement.

One thing that really grinds my gears is the way I'm seeing our generation treat authorities. From police officers to teachers, I see videos and news stories every day of kids being blatantly disrespectful towards authority figures. All of these people devote their time to keeping us safe and educating us. They aren't paid very much so it's not like they're doing it for the money. In what world is it OK to degrade someone? Take a minute and realize that those officers, those teachers are people, too. They are your brother or your mother, and you are embarrassing them and making them feel worthless through your actions.

Who made this OK? Who made this the cool thing to do? What happened to respect for our authorities? Where in the world did people my age get the idea to do this?

We, as Americans, are taught that we're from the best country in the world (which we are), but that doesn't mean we're better. Our founders worked hard for the freedoms we have. So why are we abusing them?

I have more questions than answers, and I'm sure that they won't ever be answered. The way it's looking, I feel like I have the unpopular opinion on this issue.

I love my generation. I love my childhood and I love people that are my age. However, I don't know what went wrong—but if we don't fix it soon, I feel even worse will happen.
