'' So Cry Because this will never happen again '' ~ Me

Yeah I’m from ‘01. Weird to think kids born in ‘06 are turning 18. Seems wrong lol

It's the last generation raised outside, as an 04 myself, i remember a lot of times me and some friends played outside, into our teens even. I cherish those times dearly, but you have to remember not to dig yourself into nostalgia, everyone WILL struggle with it someday and if not forever sadly. I'm happy to not be any younger though. Currently i'm trying to gather some people up for a indie/alternative band and we're gonna make music heavily inspired by the 90's scene, maybe even the 80's, as a thanks to those born in that era and to remind people now what real music sounds like B)

@@hatman44 Nah this just isn’t true. I remember people saying this way back in 2008 even. “Last generation outside”. Every generation says it. Even pre internet kids were glued to their TV screens. I vividly remember over 10 years ago little kids glued to IPads or another handheld like a DS or gameboy. Heck, I was glued to my DSI and gameboy advanced for most of the early 2000’s. Flipnote was my thing. I was either doing that, watching rugrats, or playing co op on halo 3.

As someone from 04, realising people born in 2014 are turning ten this year is surreal.

​@@firemonkey1015Yeah it's kind of funny, everyone seems to conveniently ignore just how much time they spent on screens and talk about being the last generation to play outside and then a minute later talk about all the fond memories they had playing Xbox.. human nature is interesting. Every generation ends up saying the same things in a slightly different way.

PS3 is considered retro?

Really I thought they were just old

Were turning 18 this year man. Our times up

@tridernitetelepathy7655 It’s a Lego video game of Star Wars that came out in 2009, and you play through episodes 1-6. The game only uses muffle for sound effects instead of voice acting. Gist of it right there.

It's lovely but I feel like it should be the other way around, as in : work hard like you have no tomorrow (so that you work well) and play like you have 50 years left to live (so that you make the most of it since you have so much time left.)

@@inurheartNo, you’re working hard to prepare for the future, hence 50 years left, and you play like there is no tomorrow cause you could literally die tomorrow and what the point if you spend your whole life working for an unattainable future? If there was no tomorrow, lets be real, you wouldn’t work cause there is no point. You only have one day left, so you would play.

Not if we can do anything about it as parents. 👍

I’ll make sure (at least I’ll try) to give my children a childhood

@@loucavania I think a lot of comes down to access of iPads at a young age. They are designed to stimulate the brain and school is the opposite of that and kids don't care about learning as they did when we were kids. My little brother is 8 and he started kindergarten in August 2020 which meant our school was running again and he wasn't one of the kids affected by the pandemic the way other kids were. These kids literally were missing months of developmental and social experiences they will never get to experience. They are missing 2 and a half months more memories of whatever grade they were in during that time. So when they were in quarantine a lot of parents didn't have the time to spend with them and it meant more time for iPads and stimulating things that ruin a developing brain. I'm not going to say school shutdowns literally destroyed children in schools today but it definitely amplified it. My parents had already given him an iPad when he wasn't even in preschool yet. TikTok is terrible for children attention span and makes schooling them nearly impossible because they just don't care and on top of that they don't respect the teachers. Disciplining and sticking to your word when you know you're right is how we can teach respect to our children. We can't say we're going to take something away from them or not buy them something at the store and then give in when they're behaving because that discredits us as parents to the children. They won't take us seriously or view us as someone to look up to if they can crack us every time they want something. This is something that my parents struggle with when it comes to my little brother. When it was me and my older two siblings this was not an issue. I think it comes down to the way we parent and the parents of the children born after 2010 have not cared or known how to do what I'm saying and I only really know because I've witnessed two different ways that my parents have parented and the original way things were done is obviously better because it will make the world better and will have more positive results for the kids. I actually can hold a job for years and when I leave its on my terms. A lot of kids think they're going to make a living by working at McDonalds after dropping out of high school at 16 if they're parents let them or eventually at 18 and hopefully by the time they get to their senior year they'll take things seriously because rn they don't see the value in education and have no idea how hard life really is. They don't see the connection of how higher education usually leads to a better career, happier life, and more opportunities for their children and family. Also higher education in itself will not always bring all those things because it depends on what you actually go into. For instance teaching doesn't pay a lot and rn it's a very hard job and is something I would be scared to go into because we are basically powerless because of the uninvolved parents and the way iPads have replaced their childhoods. Imagine thinking back to your childhood and seeing an iPad home screen as your core memories instead of playing outside or a nostalgic video game. Such a waste of childhood it's really sad where things are headed with gen alpha but we can do better with the next gen which I just looked up and is called generation beta and is going to be 2025-2039 so probably the first half of that generation has a chance but idk about the second half where gen alpha might ruin it because they don't have the experiences of childhood and parental figures the way we did before parents started throwing iPads at there kids.

@@CS-lk2wgthis is not nearly as long as my internal thoughts over the past 4 years, but was big enough to make me think of it. Thank you.

We got here because we were too afraid to think and humanity is forever punished for it.

Cool. I am 13 but one thing is for sure that feeling nostalgic about something is something else man. Out of this world ngl.

yeah see the thing is I was forced to grow up too fast (born 2010). We will always look back at these days in awe, we always will. Everyone no matter the age should be grateful of their life and cherish the present even if you're not a kid. I will think nostalgically about my life in the future but you will think of your current life too in the future. Its a never ending cycle of nostalgia and it shouldn't dictate our life.

I get it. I was born in 2010, and I feel lost sometimes and wish i could go back and I imagine but then I realize the obvious that I can’t go back, but this advice has helped me and I thank you for that❤️

I'm 14 but im a quiet kid due to losing a lot of precious people, or used/ secretly hated. I distanced myself from others to not risk embarrassment or be hated. Some people find me scary or dangerous, but I'm just lonely. This I don't know how I could take advantage of my young years, considering my bad grades and PTSD from growing up. I'm sorry.

Some actual advice

don't worry... i have a feeling they too played it when nobody saw them.

????? When it came out it was the most played game or talked about in school by all the guys.

Nostalgia happens because things change rapidly.

If anything it shows bow bad our todays world has become. When everything around us being turned miserable, dark and getting corrupted and taken away from us. It has rapidly increased in the past few years. I was born in 1984 so technically counting as Millenial but i cannot remember having such a strong sense of nostalgia when i was 18 or so. Except for maybe all the movies my parents and I still had on VHS or looking back at our 8 bit and 16 bit console games.. because the early 2000s were still pretty cool. Things really started to go downhill past 2010/2012 and REALLY around 2016. Trying to find something today that gives us the same permanent feeling of joy and bliss is next to impossible so i can see why we look back so much at the things that made us happy when we were kids and early teens.

@@KRAFTWERK2K6Yeah I honestly agree man! Except for the early 2010s part (to a certain extent) because those times were still good (but back then I was a little kid so that’s why I said it). But I think with the integration of Social Media and all this other stupid stuff I think is the reason why society has become so out of touch with reality. And why it is the way it is today. Personally the 1980s, 90s, 00s and to a certain extent the early 10s were sooooo much better than the generation that were living in now. Although I still have hope for the future because I truly think society may go back to the stuff from the good old days (not entirely), but I think they should bring back things from those time periods and integrate them into modern society. Do you know how much joy that would bring to people’s lives? It would be fantastic!

@@joey17503 Absolutely fair point regarding the ever increasing worsening factor of social media. Sadly it is also because it has been weaponized and stripped of all the good aspects such as connecting with each other like it used to be on youtube when it still had a messaging system and people could write each other and content creators directly and ask them for collabs or help each other. Nowdays we only have the bare Minimum. Commenting, maybe "liking" and creating the most buzz over something with massive reach is the ONLY thing we are still allowed to have which is a destructive combination that plays the worst side of humanity... It definitely was way better in the early days of web 2.0 around 2005-2007 and i still look back at it with a big smile because it still felt like the internet was supposed to work and things were a lot less restricted. Seeing how the internet has become a clustered regional censored local net, we do need an entirely new internet that cannot be stopped by local governments who hate progress and people connecting with each other without the need of government talking heads that "represents" them. Right now i like that the resistance against the division and segregation of people is increasing and that people are getting more vocal about the problems caused by weaponized social media that forces us into a narrow corridor of opinions and pictures. Same with what's happening in the media and games. This is also why i have lots of hope for GenZ and don't think we are doomed because i can already see the young generation starting to see what is going on and looking at it more critical. And i love that. it's like mankind is a giant organism that heals itself.

how can I connect with my younger self and be happier again? :-

Playing Outer Wilds and being able to fully invest myself in what was happening and listen to the ambient music and unravel everything that happened was one of the few times recently I’ve been truly happy on such a long time. That game felt like a gift from god. It seriously changed me. I still listen to the soundtrack with some of my favorite songs being entirely ambient music. It’s the only soundtrack to ever make me cry, and I love the game to death.

The thing is, the things I used to enjoy are cringe to me now... I'll never get the same feeling doing them now

⁠​⁠​⁠@@sleeparalysisdemon1164if you put it into another perspective, the things you consider cringe make up who you are now

True. Being sinkholed in a world that always moved and has seemed to move on without you is very frustrating.

you're still a human being. even if it sounds kinda stupid to say, you're still a human being with real feelings and shouldn't feel like you're "worse" then anyone else

@@mhgb1333 you described it very well

@joaquincarcamosaez921 You've got your whole life to figure things out, though! I'm a 2007 kid, and honestly I feel you. I personally think it's not very fair to expect us to make all these decisions early in life- but something that gives me peace of mind is knowing that regardless if I bomb a test, don't get into the college I want, end up in a profession that I hate, nothing can take away mine or your ability to make our own choices. Childhood may have been comfortable, but in the story of your life it's only one chapter. I say put yourself out there because you don't need to know what you're doing to get where you're meant to go. The world's rooting for you, but it's your ball game.
