I’ll tell you, I am in general very worried about the current generation being brainwashed by our popular culture, Britney Spears and Lindsey Lohan and the like. But it was very refreshing speaking with these young ladies. I had a great learning experience.

What can a man in his late thirties and working as a GM in a tech company learn from a group of girl scouts? Your neat entry title caught my eyes, and I must admit your thinking aloud struck a cord in me. This episode hints that kids of the new generation are more brilliant than we think, and are capable of handling more things than we are used to. Perhaps this is the result of the saying, “Only good genes are passed on from generation to generation”?

Actually, that is my worry too. I used to associate traits like vanity and money-minded to adults and with kids getting more precocious these days, I thought that they are losing their innocence and priorities at an early age.

But after reading your posts, it is a relief to know that the influences from online and offline media are not turning them into airheads.

What a relief. Sometimes I am so scared for my little girls to become teenagers. It seems so different than when we were kids but maybe not.Great questions by the way.

I know what the general consensus is about our generation, and while in large part I can’t disagree, I also believe we can and will do big things. However, it does seem like for every young person who is aware of the real world and prepared for bright future, there are about 10 more who live sheltered lives, completely oblivious to to anything beyond their very limited perspective.

Like John and the others before me noted though, there is hope! Neat post John.

What encouragement! I had a similar experience teaching yoga to kids (pre-teens) and they took the class so seriously. And instead of trying to compete with one another they let go of their little egos and focused on what they and their bodies were actually doing. More hope for the future. An ability to focus, a desire to do well and energy to pour into things they are excited about… yeah!

Thats refreshing. Good to hear that some young people still have a brain and aren’t brainwashed by high school musical, miley cyrus, and the jonas brothers. I still fear for the upcoming generation in general but it is unfair for me to label all of them into the same gossip loving herd.
