I agree with that every generation will always think that the next generation has it easier. To be honest, im really not sure about that. Yes technology, medicine, etc have come a long way. But the stress levels in generations is becoming higher and higher. If you take a look at Nsw Police Force, you can see that stress levels have risen unbelievably( yes policing is a stressful job but i think it also indicates alot ) We have higher numbers of teen suicides, kids get cyber bullied now ( just as bad ) So although life for us might be easier than our previous generation, the things young people have to deal with now are alot lot worse than in simpler times. A point that i agree with is manners!! Kids these days ( and young adults) have no freakin idea what it means, when i am polite to someone older they are sometimes surprised ! Like everything, it has its pros and cons. What previous generations had trouble with has changed to the newer generation, but the stress levels are getting higher and life is getting complicated especially in Australia where it is now a dream for people like me to maybe own a home someday !
