We Owe Generation Z an Apology Today | Nathaniel Turner | TEDxHobartHighSchool 

Yea can we make up for the lack of awwws in the crowd in this thread? K i'll go first: *AWWWWWWWWWW* Update: WHOA I NEVER GOT THIS MANY LIKES BEFORE! Thx guys :3 Update 2: WTF

xMoonilyx AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

lmao the one thing they havent ruined... the worlds economy is the best its' ever been....

Mathew Lawrence were trillions of dollars in debt with no real way to fix it, Mathew

And we still at better at money management then they are

Trigger Me6 Okay Kekistanian.

@@mathewlawrence1306 the us is around 21 trillion in debt. Is that progress?

He's cool but this whole talk is annoying because of the crowd specifically

one answer, *They are BOOMER PARENTS*

It was so uncomfortable. Like, can't the audience show SOME form of engagement?

Yea he was really friendly, but I believe the crowd are the parents from the past generation being telled that they screwed everything up with their children and just raised they so badly, which they partially did...Anyways, I agree, he deserved more applauses, crowd cheers and laughter.

Sometimes silence speaks louder than words. Maybe they are actually listening rather than only taking in the sensationalization. I don’t think it’s a slight against him, I think it’s them paying attention.

Gen z is the generation with the most mental health problems. They really don’t get it. Things are so different now. It is so much harder. We are up till 3 in the morning trying to finish assignments. Plus you forgot to include all the tests we have to study for. It is impossible to keep up with everything. I spend so many nights just crying myself to sleep and having a mini panic attack cause I have no idea what to do. We are not prepared for this

Both of these comments are MASSIVELY underrated 💯💯

Man I feel all these comments 😔

Extremely relatable. My teen years have been very stressful.

@@hllyenaylleth9576 Who said they did so happily? Japan happens to have the highest suicide rates. Besides, war time and assignments are not comparable. Also being overloaded with work is a perfectly valid reason to be stressed. Not only do we feel overwhelmed, but we also end up sacrificing too much personal time, missing out on family events and holidays, blowing off friends and families, losing relationships and friendships due to distance, etc., all just to keep up with assignments and stay on top of the class. Lack of human interaction, personal time with hobbies, and hygiene is really bad for one's mental health, and it also causes the type of loneliness that hits you like a truck and eats you inside at 3am when you've finally finished the assignments and studying you started at 5pm. Please do not downplay the mental health effects caused by being overworked at school.

They're annoying sometimes but they are still little kids. I don't want to write them off like we have been.

Jaylin I remember being a little kid in the early 2010s I actually miss those years they were nostalgic

Isn't Gen Alpha still technically Gen Z? Cause generations tend to span 20ish year gaps thus making them later Gen Z where we're early Gen Z. True Gen Alpha wouldn't have been born until a few months ago

Samantha Diaz yup

Exactly

I was fifteen when I was asked to choose not only my college courses but also my future career. At 15!

Franchesca Mia *laughs in magnet school* ... But seriously, at 12 years old I was already being prepared to plan for what college I wanted to go to and what my career would be... You ain’t wrong.

Franchesca Mia well I’m 14 and have no goal in life. My parents are great, society is horrible Edit: not to be confused with what everyone else is saying. My school is always forcing us to choose what ‘path in life’ to take, as if high school basically defines and shapes your life based on the choices you make..... -_-

I’m 12, 13 in about a month! It’s hard!

Exactly!! My mom even apologized yesterday! She started crying saying that she never gave me a childhood or anything, that I have the mindset of a 20 year old not my age! It was actually really different to see because I was always pushed to grow up and change things be better so it was really different

I got hit by my dad and it was normal . Yet u are the one with “real” problems . It’s so bs . Everything in society is BETTER than in the past

These “issues” seem to be self-created issues. With all due respect to the speaker here, he’s clearly missing the mark and making excuses. We have gotten to a point to where life is truly SO GOOD, then we must create problems to “fix”… everything is solved; generation Z just needs to be more innovative. I can see how that is difficult, given the massive strides made in the past 200 years, particularly the past twenty years. What else is left to create? What technology? … 21st century innovators seem to be far and few in between. Innovation is what needs to be focused on, not political talking points.

It's like one of those fantasy stories with a chosen one trope; a charater is thrown into a world where they are the proclaimed "the chosen one/savor of our world" but is overwhelmed by the expecteion of being "the savor of the world" and supposedly make everything better

Ahhaha that's the reason no body likes are generation right there 🤣😂. Millennials for the win 🙌

You want to know what’s worse millennials did the same to gen z because it’s like we’re the laughing stock of the town now

@@Phoen1x728 What's funny to me is how the generations can be summed up at all. No one can even agree whether I'm a millenial or gen z still as a cusp (though sounds like they've decided I'm a millenial), yet that would supposedly change so much about me. Whether I'm the wealthy entitled one or the poor scapegoated kid of them. My kids would be gen alpha, if I ever wanted to subject them to this world.

do u realize what my generation is going through? no. i suffer with depression and nobody helps. when i open up to my parents they just say im lazy and that im getting it easy.

From all Boomers and Generation X we like to apologize to you Zoomers that we made your Millennial helicopter parents the most privileged, wealthiest and most entitled generation in the entirety of human history that now make your Zoomer life and future difficult.

Right away you are disregarding someone with a different view then yours, as a shortsighted and simpleminded individual. Even though the comment is true. You just repeated the human nature of automatically resenting something different, and the world is always changing in everything but human nature. You will get cynical of the society changes to come, as the people before you. You can only age so much.

@@brett8259 Why is anyone with a different view, who is also trying start a discussion, deemed a 'troll'? What, have you nothing worthwhile to say, and turning tail to not have your own views challenged? Claiming the person as a 'troll', does not invalidate any of meaning said by the person being called 'troll'. It merely makes it out, that the caller has no noticeable retort, and world rather retreat. Also, if this has anything to do about making a note about being a dancer, while that note ties into everything. Human nature is very tied into that type of temptation, no matter how sophisticated the person, they have that weakness of human nature. As old as time.

​@JackOfSpades My old English teacher complained to the entire class about the students not respecting her, then she proceeded to yell at a student for giving her attitude... it was literally just the way he spoke and he'd been in her class all year.

@JackOfSpades I'm legit in the same situation. My grandpa is very rude in a lot of ways. I understand that my grandpa has been through a lot of things and his life hasn't been the easiest, but that's no excuse to treat someone badly. My mom tells me to respect him, but I think about it just like how elementary school taught us. "Treat others the way you want to be treated." Funny how the ones teaching us are the ones that can't follow their own advice. I really agree that it goes both ways, again, you give what you get. I hope that both our families one day understand

We have so much that older people blame Gen Z for stuff they did, forgetting that the oldest of them are 22, They also blame Gen alpha, where the oldest of them are 9, when you see 10 year olds commuting suicide, that’s why, that’s why you see so many kids whom are depressed, stressed, and anxious. Don’t blame Gen Z and Alpha for the mistakes of other generations when we were born into this and expected to fix it. Give us one reason why we should fix your mistakes in a world that we don’t like.

well at least i managed to recover from that fÆces

It has happened in the past too media just covered it up

I heard someone commit suicide and heard an elder one say "they died and left their loved ones at such a hard time. No kid should do that. They should tell things to their parents." And i felt the disgust. No one commits suicide without thinking about the things they are leaving their loved ones with. No one eventually goes like "bye i am leaving this world" and dies.. It takes so much effort. Every depressed persom thinks about their loved ones before they take such decision! They prevent themselves so much times just because they can give their people hard times due to their death but when no one feels like caring or giving a hand of help to them when they are down, they can't help it. They tried and tried and then made the decision. Suicide is not normal. If people cared more about someone who is living through everything hard, there would have been less chances of such cases. Everyone deserves a hug, no one deserves to die in this world by such causes at such young age.

Hey I'm dyin over here🗿

Now I feel bad for Generation Alpha and the later

Lol

E Yeh We are the most depressed because we’ve been coddled up our entire lives

So true. Boomers are the only generation that killed everything for the sake of industrialization. Their fathers (the silent generation) had to endure war and depression while boomers were handed everything on a silver platter. They kill all the animals, cut down trees, pollute the planet with their factories... then blame the younger generation as a scapegoat for their own deeds.

*burn*

Tbh

You’re right. Us Gen Xers were assholes& self-righteous. A ton of us had kids too young& Gen Xers are late bloomers, so....Most of us didn’t really grow up or find ourselves until our 30s and by then it was too late; we’d already shaped you guys, you kids were already grown.

Most gen X were too busy working to raise their kids; TV'S, social media and computers raised gen Z. That should say it all. ✌

@L' Immortale in simple terms, my parents are very conservative and closed minded whereas I am not and my opinions differ greatly from theirs

Yep! I am excited to see how we say "enough is enough!" and end the cycles of human oppression that have come before us. And fix the world, and how we won't prioritize profits over people, and how we show love to each other as we fix the broken humanity that was created. We can create a better tomorrow, and im praying that we come together as a generation to realize that goal, and hopefully move way past our goal of keeping the planet from dying, and go further!

im sorry for you. i wish you the best.

yes, I have the same problem. my father always says that this generation of children are pathetic and should go outside. like...ouch dad, and he expects me to get 100% on all of my tests, do all my thousand of assignments for different subjects while at the same time to try and make time for myself, and my family and friends. honestly, gen z's parents are so into their own devices that can do so much at once that they think they gave birth to robots who can do 10 things at a time, and on top of all of that i'm the youngest girl in the family so my older sisters and my mum always tell me stuff like girls are clean, girls don't laugh so loudly, girls don't talk to much, but when i stop talking they think i'm dying. honestly, gen z deserve better and we will raise gen alpha better than our parents did for us. have you heard the song that goes " i just wanna be loved" if you have that song should be dedicated to gen z, and my father and mother think they have so much on their plate when they don't even know or realize that my behaviour changed to more depressing when i was just 8 because my parents were always so invested in fighting that they didn't even realize that their own daughter that has epilepsy is literally expieriencing something they houldn't at such a young age. what break it even more is that the only people who treat like i matter are my friends and sisters, not even my brothers or parents treat me like i should be. when i get my epileptic seziures my parents act like i'm dying which i could be from the seizure but when i'm better my parets act like it's my fault i have epilepsy.i'm now 13 and i till haven't gotten better from depression nor epilepsy but when i do raise my gen alpha kids i will love them and not neglect them like how gen z's parents do.

I hope you're doing a little better now. She probably can't remember what it was like when she was in school or just has no idea how to deal with the emotions of others and possibly herself. Strive to do what you can, take breathers, and just know that one day you'll have the ability to cut ties if she continues treating you this way. I have a narcissist as a dad so I know it can be hard.

Cling to your father. Tell your mother, with no accusation or anger in your voice, that she hurt your feelings and you don't want to be yelled at when your already hurt, and if she still doesn't seem to care ask her why she's yelling at you, and if yelling is her way of showing her love and care because if it is, that love and care is certainly not getting across. But seriously, cling to your dad, and try to be there for him in his troubles the way he tried to be there for yours. Also, I recommend you listen to the band BTS because they might help you have the words to express yourself.

Hey, I've been through this kinda thing, and all these comments are really helpful, but personally I was really angry because it almost seemed like they were making excuses and repeating the same things you try to tell yourself over an over like, "They were just raised in a different time," so if you want to be angry and vent don't worry about it, I got you.

F O R R E A L

FR BRO

P r e a c h

For real bro and their going to continue yelling at us

For real

Exactly! I felt like this when I was back in school, and I got too overwhelmed because there was so much I needed to do to keep up with everyone and I didn't give myself time to rest, and I suffered so much because of it. From my mental declining to my physical health declining to my social life, everything was falling apart and I had no support from my family and society (the exception being a few of my friends and teachers whom I've made connections with). Up to this day, whenever I make mistakes at home, I always get shouted at even though I usually learn from all my mistakes after making them once or twice, but I wouldn't have learnt anything if I didn't make these mistakes in the first place! And even after I learned my lesson, I still made some mistakes because of how tired I was and how there never seemed to be an end to the things I need to do so I can finally get the rest I need, or to do research on stuff I don't know but am pressured to just automatically *know*... It's exhausting honestly

True true. I am in 8th grade and got to bed at 1 am this morning and I started my homework/studying as soon as I got home. Give us a chance to breathe!!! It's break now (today was last day) and now I need to start projects and preparation for next semester Edit was because I put 7th grade instead of 8th grade. I had to catch my bus at six thirty am too, you can tell I'm tired. I got about five hours of sleep

I am 14 and SO tired, my teachers even tell me to rest and don’t study too hard, but I can’t!

It's 2:30 on a school night and I'm up revising for a chemistry test whilst also worrying about the future. They always tell us mental health is more important than school work until it comes down to actually doing the schoolwork. It's either get it done or get a detention. Over the last couple of weeks I have slowly but surely regressed into the worst mental state I think I've ever been in and no one's even noticed because I'm fine on the outside but then it's the evening and I honestly completely lose my will to live. If that doesn't sum up our generation I don't know what does.

I’m still in 6th, just turned twelve, you know what though? I had eye bags 4 in fourth grade, they haven’t gone away. I’ve been keeping all of my grades above 90 get upset that my PE GRADE is at 80 because I need to better to survive and I know that,. When I was EIGHT I had ADULTS talking bad about me and I didn’t even know. I could go on and on but I need to do all of my home tasks in 5 hours, as I come home from school at 5 in the afternoon

Right!

Im not Gen Z and my excitement was completely squashed. That's why I don't get all this.

Children, stay away from adults "squashing" you and just be responsible for your own happiness and success.

Funny thing is a boomer told me that once because I told them I had asthma, their only response was like those damn video games. All I said was I was born with it and had no mean to play a video game in my mother’s womb 😂😂😂

end my suffering438 legit every fellow gen z kid I know who has asthma is like “I’ll probably be one of the first to go because my dang windpipe hates me but I really can’t do anything about it” *shrugs*

"OK Boomer" XD

end my suffering438 no it’s boomers back in my day we kids didn’t get a cough you kids need to toughen up

I have asthma and feel the pain..once it was so bad that I almost had to stay in the hospital and miss 2 important quizzes that you cannot do if you miss it for ANY reason.

Well said. There's a reason why our generation is considered the most mentally unstable. They just don't wanna hear it (the parents/guardians I mean).

KilljoyTrashid For me, I hear “Oh it’s their phones,” when my phone actually really helped me with social anxiety. For me, it’s an escape from the thoughts in my mind that have been there since before the phone in my hands. It didn’t cause it, it helped it. My mother always demands an explanation for my feelings, which I believe many adults do, when sometimes there just isn’t one. No, nothing happened at school. No, nothing happened with my friend. I’m just miserable for no good reason other than my brain is imbalanced. And I think this is something many of those in Gen Z have to deal with (though I could be wrong).

Honestly, my phone destroyed my mental health, ruined my sleep schedule, ravaged any hope of me gaining even the most basic of social skills, and deeply affected my work habits in school. It's been three, four years since then and I'm still trying to climb out of the hole I've dug for myself. This path may have been unavoidable - but surrounding myself with so much negativity and self-deprecation sure didn't help. My phone made submersing myself into such a place that much easier. I hated myself for the longest time (still do) and I cannot communicate with people to reach out. Some people say that their phones and social media helped them climb out of such a hole. My experience, though, has been quite the opposite. Going through a depressive, anxious phase as a teen is inevitable. But, in my experience, social media and the junk we're listening to only worsen it.

I understand that such experiences exist, on both ends. But for me, I didn't get my phone until the eighth grade when I had been dealing with suicidal thoughts since around the fifth (severity of episodes varies). Personally, I only use one social media, RU-vid. But I have seen the effects of others (though I cannot name them). My phone neither helps nor hinders my life, the main thing holding me back is my physical inability to talk. This is why therapy has had no effect on me, though I do recommend seeing a professional for issues if you can. There are numerous things I want to tell those who can help me seek help, but whenever I try, my mother is quick to point fingers at whatever caused her seemingly happy, normal child to even show signs of mental instability (I was born to fill the hole in her heart that her mother-my grandmother- left behind when she died, which I believe is one of the reasons she envisions me to be something I most certainly am not). That or my mentality drags me back into it's familiar security of silence. Enough about me, I apologize for rambling. I'm sorry that your phone had such a negative impact on you, and that my apologies will never be enough to try and help you. But I cannot help but do so, I'm sorry.

I don't know how old you are but do whatever you can to seek help. Nevermind your mother if she is unwilling to help. Your mental health is of utmost importance and no one should get in the way of that.

I dont accept the apology, because no one else is apologizing. Love the guy, but the damage done was too much, and simply saying "sorry" isnt going to cut it.

I’m with Nihlm on this. I’ve been bullied throughout the entirely of primary school and nobody helped me. Even throughout high school, the only time anyone cared was when I snapped, but I wasn't supported. We're definitely more accepting, but we aren’t handling bullying.

@@THEREALZENFORCE I think you have a large bias, it is insanely easy to lie with baseless graphics, the 2008 recession was the largest increase in housing price and largest stock market crash because there weren't enough regulations on what corporations could do. and of course inflation is going to happen a lot, it's a compounding formula, it exponentially increases with the inflation rate. wages have been stagnant with inflation making it worth less. Housing prices were brought up due to having more standards. No more asbestos, they had to be structurally sound, couldn't skimp on anything if you wanted them to be able to be sold.

@@vaughnrob4548 Hey... I feel you, but after reflecting (in my situation) I realized that it won't give me any positive benefits if I keep making those people (you know who) affect me negatively. So I thought that I'll prove to them how much I'm capable of and make them regret "those days" that I was being helplessly humiliated in front of others that (little do they know) would scar me for life. I know that feeling when they don't take you seriously and it's just sad to think how your mother just missed a perfect opportunity to help you out, especially when you gathered all that courage to share your thoughts, feelings, and opinions... only ending up to feel betrayed and judged. I'm writing this public reply not because for pitying you, but instead I'm doing this out of compassion. I want you (and anyone else who took their time reading this) to think of this or any problem/s you have encountered as an obstacle that God has planned out for you. (to make you stronger and grow brighter as you charge head first into the future) In other words, don't let "them" affect you and accept it as a challenge from them instead. Let's both do our best! Ps. If you're being judged, don't stoop down to their level and be patient until you prove them wrong.
