Not old enough to vote, but old enough to help: How teens are helping to avert an election crisis

7. I had the lovely experience of taking college classes

at a community college for nearly fifteen years straight, from about 1992 to 2005. I was born in 1948, so you can do the math. I loved it that I was constantly interacting with 19 year olds. And to this day I get angry when older people trash the younger generation. They don't deserve it.

I'm a Boomer, and I remember very clearly when we were scorned as lazy and ignorant, not able to hold a candle to our elders. I guess that crap is always dumped on the upcoming generation. Yeah, most of us take a bit of time to grow up and do what we're supposed to, but after a while we grow up, grow into our adult roles. What we shouldn't be doing is dumping on the younger generation.

Like you, I have almost no interaction with younger people these days, especially in the last seven or eight months. The things I used to do that would put me in contact with them just aren't happening these days. Someday, someday . . . .
