I understand where you're coming from, and even agree with some of your view. The system in unstable, and I don't know that every policy school administrations put in place help. But I don't think you used very good examples. School is way to PC, but a lot of that is for good reason, even it get's applied unreasonably sometimes.
Honestly though, it just touched a nerve with me. Millenials, as I'm sure every generation before us, has become the it thing to bash. And I feel as though most of the people doing the critiquing skim over the fact that the world we grew up in is fundamentally different than that of our parents, and their parents. The basic assumptions that older people make don't apply for us. We are the first generation pretty much since this country was founded who's job prospects are worst than our parents. Most of our parents will benefit at least something from Social Security. We will never see a dime. We are the largest, most educated generation ever but also the most in debt and most under-employed (people who want a job but can't get one).
Part of all this is just life. But what makes it worse is that people keep characterizing us as lazy, and entitled for wanting the things we've been told all our life we'll get, if we work hard. Due to no fault of our own, the American Dream or whatever that means if pretty much not an option for most of us, and yet people are surprised we started making a decisions without that goal in mind. If I have to work til the day I die, and most likely I will, shouldn't I try to work somewhere that is as fun as I can find. If that means swings, puppies, and playpits is that a bad thing?
