I was mentally broken. My father noticed the change in my mood. He tried to talk to me about that, but every time I thought that i will cry and there is no worth of telling them they will not understand. But when my father asked me today I bursted in tears and spilled everything out of my heart. When my mother came and saw mw crying she yelled at me for crying and asked my father why was I crying. My father told her that I was under pressure for "studies" and was stressing out so bad. And can you imagine what my mother said???? Here are her words "You never focus on your studies and always on that damn phone and that is why on this point of time you have to get stressed to complete you left portion. " I have started to think that there is no point in living at all. Its like a dead soul with a half living body...
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.
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
as a millennial I've noticed something. Old videos talk about how "the next generation will save the world" and "our kids will do great things" all the way back to the start of video. Newspapers and books printed the same sentiments even farther back. It's been a game of pass the buck for well over a hundred years. "I couldn't do it, so I'll pass the buck to my kid. Surely they can do what i couldn't." No. You want us to do what you procrastinated on and now that the time limit to get it done is coming to an end you can't decide if we're gonna be great and fix it or if we've failed to do it in time. The problem isn't us, it's YOU for putting the whole world in our laps and doing nothing to help. YOU failed and now you're yelling at US for YOUR failures??? Shut up and get to work. If you want us to save the world then start being a better example of what you expect us to do about it because WE'RE NOT THE ONES WITH ALL THE POWER.
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
@@Skept1cal_269 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.
I have always thought of respect as a two way street, if I respect you, you should respect me. If you refuse, don't be mad when I take away my respect.
@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
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.
I would say the biggest problem in my generation is how hard it is to remain emotionally and mentally stable and also feeling like your parents are failing you cause you all never talk and yet Live in the same house
The "modern family" (in general) can't seem to put their cell phones down long enough to have a basic conversation about their days let alone a deep conversation about emotions. Gen Z isn't the only generation with a phone addiction problem.
VOI Personal problem, but either way most others with this problem is because of phones and gaming consoles 🤷🏻♂️. And I think the biggest problem with our generation is that nobody understands basic human nature. So touché I guess.
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.
Just hearing someone from an older generation say "I'm sorry" really hit me differently. Because I hear a lot of the things he said in this video, about our generation being entitled and lazy, but never anyone take responsibility for making us this way. They just blame us for how we were raised.
you are at fault to, for you and the rest of the youngers are just continuing a fault. You didn't start these fires, yet none of you typical lazy and self centered bums are doing anything to stop the fires. As is human nature which has been going on for a long time, when younger, lazy, bums, such as yourself who also did nothing but shortsighted shellfish acts. Nothing will change, we are all pining for destruction in the end, even though we are becoming more intelligent. Also, seems like you are a lost cause, the end of a burning ship, and most of you are the wreckage or among the wreckage. No hope even if you tried. You, for being human, automatically fail. Most here hate you, and know nothing about you.
@@brett8259 I am a young 23 year dancer and have seen a lot. Now one consistent factor is that nothing really has changed in human nature. I mean ask yourself, what do you really see around you that is different in human nature now, compared to then. 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.

@@somerandompianoguy3279 its really hard for people to change especially as we get older. Im sure by the time I have grandchildren they'll be getting after me and my generation for doing a poor job on embracing some kind of technology or concepts. As I got older I learned to accept I wasn't going to get my grandparents to change much. And instead just focused on being thankful I was even here since my grandfather was stationed in Okinawa during world war 2.
It’s so true that Baby Boomers are some of the rudest people. I work at a visitor center in Alaska that attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors annually. Most of them come off of the cruise ships and act like they are so entitled to things like pre-bottled water. Things like sustainability and climate change don’t even cross their minds but we see it every day in AK. I’ve met some of the rudest people at this job and they’re always baby boomers.
It’s unfair that they label us a failed generation when half of us are barely at the beginning of our journey. Let’s show these old heads how to sustain and love Mother Earth as human beings
Fr tho. Some us gen z are still in elementary school, learning how to tie their shoe laces yet their are already labeled a failure. I’m currently in high school and the fact that boomers and gen x have labeled us the failure gen, then leaving the world on fire for us to put out. Idk if that made sense...
Depression and suicide are all too common in the current generation, and the adults, parents, teachers, they all wonder why. They say it’s because we are weak, because we are entitled. They pushed us into the fires and condemned us for being burnt. Our parents want us to be happy, they want us to learn so that we are able to survive in this world's cruelty. But they don’t try to stop and think about how we might feel, how the way they treat us makes us develop distrust in them, how it makes us discouraged to talk about our problems in fear that we will be rejected for being different because we were born into a world that had been beaten and bruised. They tossed us in and expect us to fix the mess the generations before us made, we are the cleanup crew that isn’t being paid for our work and instead criticized because we aren’t “doing our jobs” or because we are “being defiant.” when they should be considering how the weight of their expectations affects us.
The axe forgets, but the tree remembers. I would consider my parents to be good, but there have been some words said that stung. My dad told me at 8 that I was a bad person because I forgot to put the cheese away. That is something I will never forget even though time has well washed it from his memory.

@@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.
Look into law of attraction. If those videos have a negative vibe, your brain attracts that. Your mom isn't entirely wrong, but what she did wasn't right. She is an imperfect. Louise hays 50 positive thoughts.

gotta love how now high schoolers are expected to do internships and research with professors in order to have a chance at getting into a decent college in the US. gotta love education systems.
@@noveled_1Hey man I don't know how old you are, but if you're still in high school, look at learning a trade as an alternative to a college education. Either look for a union, or start your own company if you decide to go down the trade career route. *Avoid tradeschools - be savvy and get the training for free.* Do this by finding a union, or a warehouse/distribution center in whatever trade you want to focus on; work there, and communicate until you find an older person willing to teach you - and get paid for it. Then start your own company.
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!
As the other comment suggested you can kinda build an longer attention span by forcing yourself to absorb content completely rather than skimming (Though if you have ADHD or something this could prove very difficult)
It’s easier for the older generation to blame the younger for failing to live up to their expectations than to recognize their own failures of being parents, mentors, and proprietors of government, society, and resources. It is not the failures of the youth they truly fear but their own.
When I look at my dad, I can see the disappointment in his eyes, in his silence. All I want to do is to show him, he's not a failure, that he succeeded and he made something great.
@¡ wigless demon ! in an audience you're supposed to just listen, if someone is just there and is a quiet person and just wants to listen then its not bad if they just want to stay quiet
Carleeto meepo they didn’t laugh at most of his jokes, not a sound. The audience isn’t there just to stare at him talk, especially when he wants them to laugh.
growing up, I’ve always been told that i needed to respect everyone older than me… and that respect, well, i was not allowed to hope that it was reciprocated. And so imagine, I’m that kid in the back of the class, the respectful, quiet one. And then my reality fell apart when i was told, “respect is earned, everyone starts on zero and earn their way to 100.”
It'll encourage us to be better parents, however like I said in another comment, some of Gen Z is too damaged to fill that roll. I specifically fit that description.
Some adults don’t understand that the reason we are so much on our phone is because it’s our escape from real life. I don’t have people yelling at me for no damn reason on there, idk about you.
Things he said are soo true.. good to see that atleast there's someone from our parents generation who actually understands the pressure we have on us!!
I love how his humor was definitely Gen Z humor and yet nobody in the audience laughed. It just prooves that the other generations really don't understand us.
Most us (Gen Z) haven't even finished school so we can't do anything. What do you expect? But we can actually do something right now and that is.... *memes*
Haha what are you talking about? My parents love me so much, I definitely haven't been wanting to leave since I was 4 or anything, and I definitely didn't try to run away when I was 5 because my parents were always screaming at each other, and I definitely don't only want to go to college because it would get me away from my parents faster...
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
Parents: I want my children to have better lives than I do, so im going to work as hard as I can! children: **has better life Parents: *and I took that personally.*
In the future I really hope to be a better parent. My parents shut the door on me and left me to figure it out on my own. They want me to be "independent" but for independence I don't need emotional neglect.
The sad part is that this video is never gonna reach the people who actually need to hear it, the only comments I see are from gen Zs. That's the real problem.
Another millenial here, i fully understand the situation you guys are going through, it is perhaps even worse, but you guys are stronger than you realize. Don't let grumpy old folks bring you down, and we millenials should also do what we can to aid you.
Yeah until you go to Twitter and say anything even considered mildly offensive 😒 my generation seriously doesn't have a sense of humor anymore and the whole Anti-Bullying bs isn't making them any better prepared for the real world Edit: basically just making a generation of naive people with a lack of knowledge of how predatory human behavior can be, making them a easy target for anyone with I'll intent
We haven't finished school yet, and we are called failures. We are using the technology that you made and you get surprised. You made a mess in the world and left us to deal with it. We are being normal teenagers, are we ruining the economy right now?
We have to solve to promblems that we didnt do... -climate change -animals extinction -pollution -Economics debt.. Im afraid were going to have another great depression since US debt is in the 21 trillions. Yet gen z and alpha doesn't deserve this, we did little but the most is the other generstions that is older than us. They caused us to be ° depressed · axiety °sucidal · self-hatred
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.
can we talk about how emotionless this crowd is?? he's literally being so friendly and making jokes, while they're all just sitting there, showing no emotion whatsoever ✋👁️👄👁️
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.
Nobody Baby boomers: When i was your age i had 7 jobs and payed 8 mortgages I had a doctorates degree in every major.

As Lemon Peach said they record the talk seperately and audience must be very loud to be heard on recording. Which I suppose is mostly achieved at beggining or ted talks add the starting applause and ending one. You can see the same happening in other talks.

I heard from my phycology teacher that we are The most stressed generation he’s ever seen. Said something’ll never forget. “You guys are expected to do everything but aren’t given the resources to do anything”... really it’s f*cked up. We are overloaded, stressed to the breaking point, given ZERO help for mental health, usually only one (not trained) counselor PER SCHOOL! Half of us want to die everyday and 3/4 of us have extreme anxiety disorders. And we are expected to do MORE the past generations. My parents tell me that there’s nothing to be stressed about. Ok, is 2 papers, read 2 books, 7 pages of math work, with 6 extra worksheets, a science worksheet and lab, history notes, and vocabulary not stressful enough? Oh I forgot, keeping a social profile, keeping up with friends so they don’t ditch you, look right, talk right, hope you don’t look too tired, tell you parents you’re fine, mental breakdowns in school, trying not to fail but you don’t understand, depression in quarantine, the struggle to get out of bed in the morning..... is it not enough We’re just suffering in silence now..
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
@@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.
Gen z then believes them and becomes mindless soldier drones or rebels and becomes suicidal and milinials complain and leave us in a polticaly correct mess

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.

Boomers: "Gen Z is destroying our earth!" Also boomers: "Gen Z is gonna be the generation of change!" Like damn, pick an answer. Do you hate us or not?
I'd rather have them hate us and than having to keep changing their mind. At least we know exactly how they think of us now. We're walking on eggshells 24/7 and we don't know when to talk to the boomers because their mood swings are unpredictable. They're happy and 1 second later they're livid. "oh come on! Stop being so antisocial! Come out of your room and talk to your family!" They laugh at one thing then the next day that same thing just flips a switch on them and they just bash you. I just reluctantly accepted that I have a toxic family and my relationship with them is full of both, high notes and low notes.
And that, my friends, is what we call toxicity, sprinkled in with a little bit of emotional manipulation. In situations like these, we run fast and we run far, because in no way are we obligated to put up with that sort of bullcrap
TEDx crowds are never the most engaging or fun crowds. They mostly just sit there and stare at you and wait for their cue to clap. Even Kermit the Frog couldn't make them react. Makes me wonder why these people actually go to these events.

I was mentally broken. My father noticed the change in my mood. He tried to talk to me about that, but every time I thought that i will cry and there is no worth of telling them they will not understand. But when my father asked me today I bursted in tears and spilled everything out of my heart. When my mother came and saw mw crying she yelled at me for crying and asked my father why was I crying. My father told her that I was under pressure for "studies" and was stressing out so bad. And can you imagine what my mother said????
Here are her words
"You never focus on your studies and always on that damn phone and that is why on this point of time you have to get stressed to complete you left portion. "
I have started to think that there is no point in living at all. Its like a dead soul with a half living body...
Show your mom this video....
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.

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

@@sambradley9091 Gen alpha is considered 2010-2024, Gen Z is 1995-2009.
as a millennial I've noticed something.
Old videos talk about how "the next generation will save the world" and "our kids will do great things" all the way back to the start of video. Newspapers and books printed the same sentiments even farther back.
It's been a game of pass the buck for well over a hundred years.
"I couldn't do it, so I'll pass the buck to my kid. Surely they can do what i couldn't."
No. You want us to do what you procrastinated on and now that the time limit to get it done is coming to an end you can't decide if we're gonna be great and fix it or if we've failed to do it in time.
The problem isn't us, it's YOU for putting the whole world in our laps and doing nothing to help.
YOU failed and now you're yelling at US for YOUR failures???
Shut up and get to work. If you want us to save the world then start being a better example of what you expect us to do about it because WE'RE NOT THE ONES WITH ALL THE POWER.
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

Older Generations: Respect your elders
Me: Why can't we all just respect each other?
I have always thought of respect as a two way street, if I respect you, you should respect me. If you refuse, don't be mad when I take away my respect.
@@bisexial_disaster2795 exactly
@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
My logic is simple. If u want respect from me, u have to earn it. It's not like every elder in this world is worth respect.
Baby boomers and gen x people criticise millennials and gen z kids as if they weren’t the ones that raised us.
*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. ✌
Sounds pretty devisive for something not to be so generalized.

I would say the biggest problem in my generation is how hard it is to remain emotionally and mentally stable and also feeling like your parents are failing you cause you all never talk and yet Live in the same house
That´s a personal problem, not a generation problem.
True for me too. My parents are always working and we don't talk that often.
The "modern family" (in general) can't seem to put their cell phones down long enough to have a basic conversation about their days let alone a deep conversation about emotions. Gen Z isn't the only generation with a phone addiction problem.
I just don’t like talking to my parents. I don’t enjoy it.
VOI Personal problem, but either way most others with this problem is because of phones and gaming consoles 🤷🏻♂️. And I think the biggest problem with our generation is that nobody understands basic human nature. So touché I guess.
You know it's awful when even children are committing suicide/seriously thinking about it.
Please, stop this mess.
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.
Just hearing someone from an older generation say "I'm sorry" really hit me differently. Because I hear a lot of the things he said in this video, about our generation being entitled and lazy, but never anyone take responsibility for making us this way. They just blame us for how we were raised.

Depression and suicide are all too common in the current generation, and the adults, parents, teachers, they all wonder why. They say it’s because we are weak, because we are entitled.
They pushed us into the fires and condemned us for being burnt. Our parents want us to be happy, they want us to learn so that we are able to survive in this world's cruelty.
But they don’t try to stop and think about how we might feel, how the way they treat us makes us develop distrust in them, how it makes us discouraged to talk about our problems in fear that we will be rejected for being different because we were born into a world that had been beaten and bruised.
They tossed us in and expect us to fix the mess the generations before us made, we are the cleanup crew that isn’t being paid for our work and instead criticized because we aren’t “doing our jobs” or because we are “being defiant.” when they should be considering how the weight of their expectations affects us.

Either look for a union, or start your own company if you decide to go down the trade career route. *Avoid tradeschools - be savvy and get the training for free.* Do this by finding a union, or a warehouse/distribution center in whatever trade you want to focus on; work there, and communicate until you find an older person willing to teach you - and get paid for it.

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!

We are overloaded, stressed to the breaking point, given ZERO help for mental health, usually only one (not trained) counselor PER SCHOOL! Half of us want to die everyday and 3/4 of us have extreme anxiety disorders. And we are expected to do MORE the past generations. My parents tell me that there’s nothing to be stressed about. Ok, is 2 papers, read 2 books, 7 pages of math work, with 6 extra worksheets, a science worksheet and lab, history notes, and vocabulary not stressful enough? Oh I forgot, keeping a social profile, keeping up with friends so they don’t ditch you, look right, talk right, hope you don’t look too tired, tell you parents you’re fine, mental breakdowns in school, trying not to fail but you don’t understand, depression in quarantine, the struggle to get out of bed in the morning.....
is it not enough
We’re just suffering in silence now..
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.

@@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.

People like you ARE the reason why we, the gen Z, don't know how to put out the fire. Have you ever thought of teaching us how to do taxes? How to find and seize opportunities to live bigger lives? How to learn to forgive parents who act like you, raising the bar so high for their childrens' achievements? No, you have not.

RIP being part of the older gen z and having to work 😔
@@IEversmann1 idk I've enjoyed having a job since I turned 16. It was my choice. I now work three jobs and am in college lmao. I think a lot of people just don't want to work because that's effort. Do keep in mind that I'm also maintaining a ldr so I'm not a workaholic
Me, a Gen Z kid just wanting a childhood: I'm not crying, my eyes are just sweating.
I'm not a Gen Z (I've told I'm a millennial, but I honestly don't know where Millenials end and Gen Z begins anymore, I think I'm in the middle somewhere) but this hit home really hard
Manj J gen z began in 1995
Manj J 1997-2010 that’s where it begins and ends
EmoGayMess no it begins in 1997 and it ends at 2010
I googled this and apparently its from 1995-2014
It's funny how they call us a failed generation when most of us aren't even out of school yet.
Rae Rohan ikr Damn 90s babies trying to be entitled.. they hate having the last number of the millennium so they impersonate us 00s born glad their approaching 30+ years of age soon..
yeah, i believe the oldest of us are 20 or so. alot of us (if we're following 1998-2004) are in highschool going into college and the work force. they have nothing to go off to call us failures.
Kelsy Hopper 98-00 are college students

"Of course they are distracted. They have to solve everything."
Man thats true
@@hllyenaylleth9576
Just go back into your boring life and stop annoying everyone by replying the same bs under every comment.
@@fxrnweh-hd5dq you not see truth?
Solve what ??? All u guys do is make tiktoks and cry . It’s such a bs fairytale this video . A couple generations ago kids got beat up by teachers and parents . 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.

Boomers: "Gen Z is destroying our earth!"
Also boomers: "Gen Z is gonna be the generation of change!"
Like damn, pick an answer. Do you hate us or not?
I'd rather have them hate us and than having to keep changing their mind. At least we know exactly how they think of us now.
We're walking on eggshells 24/7 and we don't know when to talk to the boomers because their mood swings are unpredictable. They're happy and 1 second later they're livid.
"oh come on! Stop being so antisocial! Come out of your room and talk to your family!"
They laugh at one thing then the next day that same thing just flips a switch on them and they just bash you.
I just reluctantly accepted that I have a toxic family and my relationship with them is full of both, high notes and low notes.
And that, my friends, is what we call toxicity, sprinkled in with a little bit of emotional manipulation. In situations like these, we run fast and we run far, because in no way are we obligated to put up with that sort of bullcrap
@@EGLang agree
It's hilarious considering they're the ones who refused to address the climate emergency.
Change is the act of destroying the old. no love or hate that is subjective.

Yeah the audience was dissapointing
For real he had so many cute jokes and comments and the crowd just stayed silent 😔
The crowd was wack af
@@chloenovosad7661
IKR?! But sure, we’re the ones with no social skills...
TEDx crowds are never the most engaging or fun crowds. They mostly just sit there and stare at you and wait for their cue to clap.
Even Kermit the Frog couldn't make them react. Makes me wonder why these people actually go to these events.
man the audience are kinda salty.
There’s no mic in the audience, that’s why you can’t hear them well
Ellie B and they are probably old

Gen z kid: has asthma because of screwed up atmosphere
Boomers: videogames
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.
wait why is hardly anybody laughing at his jokes? if some of us gen z were there, we would be hyping him up af.
Fr tho it’s too quiet
I think it's so they don't disturb the presentation. Other TED Talks are also like this.
Probably the mics didn't pick it up very well, or is was edited so the noise didn't overwhelm what he was saying.
tru dat
Indeed
i feel as though us gen zers are stiffled in every way possible. we get criticized for the internet, but when we try to go out and change the world we get told that we dont know what we're talking about
You are absolutely right.

This is such an underrated speech. That audience was most probably quiet because in all honestly nobody likes the truth. I can tell he was nervous but it made his speech somehow more compelling and meaningful.
I think the audience is fine, it's just people being quiet
The audience is quiet because they're not Gen Z.
Musicman SMO He’s talking to high schoolers
Musicman SMO Ok,boomer
Everyone’s talking about the actual topic but I’m just here sad that no one even gave the tiniest giggle when he made a joke ;-;
A person that was there said in the comments that the audience was small and the auditorium was big. They also said smthg about the mics.
@@kunaihanaki ah thanks for the info :D
Also it's a bunch of school students. You're normally told to listen as the number one priority and be quiet so others can listen
