Kids These Days

I don't know if I am being overly sensitive or what but it seems like I have been hearing a lot about how this generation is awful and it is starting to bug me.  How there is little family time, morals, values and on and on.  I agree that there can be a lot of greed, entitlement and all sorts of other problems with "kids these days" and I do believe that the men and women that lived through the depression and WWII deserve the title of "The Greatest Generation."  Everyone needs a reminder about how to act better and to look to our past for good examples, but I am getting sick of all the negative comments being said about our generation.   There is tons of stories and awesome example of children and young adults doing amazing things to help the people around them.  I know this is not amazing or anything but the past four times we have gone to the park the older (around 7 or 8) girls there immediately adopt Addi as their new best friend and help her go down slides, swing and play with her.  We were at another park and there was an autistic girl that was obviously different then all the other kids but they still included her in the group and they all had a wonderful time.  I guess I am trying to say that if you want to see the negative things about this generation then you will.  You will see a lot.  But if you look for the good, you will find it and be amazed.
