[Joe]

the inability to accept people for who they are

[MKR&*42]

Omg so did you hear that Katie said this about Jane, and then Suzie was secretly doing this with Mike behind Stacey's back. Like amg right? And then Katie was all "no Jane gurl I got your back x" despite secretly slagging her off, and then to top it all OFF Jason was actually cheating on Kerry with Rosie, it was just omg right? Dw though you're still my best friend Amelia.

--- 20 mins later-

Omg Katie did you HEAR what Amelia did... that total cow! She was like totally being a huge gossip and backstabbing everyone and etc.

IF you didn't get the message, I hate how this seems to be the entire life of every teenage girl in the country rn.

The garbage people call music today and what people listen to. It is absolutely terrible.

[dbgtz]

I'm not sure if this is strictly for our generation, but people will put so much focus and energy in something which in the grand scheme of things, is such a minute issue yet they won't give a stuff about the bigger issues. Also not a huge fan of how self-entitled some people seem to be.

[Matt]

How much technology is taking over and how people seem to be lacking social skills to actually have a decent conversation with someone and not use a phone or computer to do so.

Thank Mr skeltal

anybody that takes things considered necessities (Internet, electricity, etc) that aren't basic human rights for granted. I love my generation and am envious of those younger than me who are able to grow up in such a developed world where everything is so easy to do.

[Brad]

The only thing I can think of is that people only validate things if it's "official" on Facebook or something.

That is true mate. A bit scary yer

Technology is all the generation under us is about. I didn't get my first phone until I was in 7th grade.. and it was a rumour flip phone. Nowadays 9 year olds are getting iPhones and that is not okay.

[AgnesIO]

Regarding people's point about technology, I agree. But should we not be blaming parents for this? They are the ones responsible, not the kids.

[FlyingJesus]

Why is having technology not good?

[welshcake]

I completely disagree with people saying about the technology thing. I had a training course and in it the woman kept basically putting us all down and sort of trying to prove that she was better or something by mocking the fact that we obviously all use social media and different technology.
Technology is there and it's available much more than it was. I don't understand why this is a bad thing? Most of you probably met each other by using technology, that's not bad, is it? You see children with things such as autism and stuff all using technology such as iPads and that helps them. Technology is NOT bad at all and I see no problem with younger children using it. When my younger sister got a phone and a DS at a young age, she was still going out, having fun, riding a bike and then she would come home at night and maybe text my grandmother and play on her DS. It is fun, where is the harm in that?
Everyone wants the new thing but just let them want it. Don't be that old witch who kept making fun of us for using social media. Tbh, how else would I speak to my parents and my other family members SUCH AS MY YOUNGER SISTER WHO DOES HAVE AN IPHONE? Drive 3 hours just for a social chat like ahaha.
y'all actin like you're 56 and named Glenis

Like Kyle says though, people shouldn't be taking it all for granted but that should be something people are taught.

i don't think technology is completely harmless, like the majority of people i know will sit on their phones in restaurants or when we're supposed to be having a few drinks and it's just really rude, u will notice it when ur like me and have a **** phone that doesn't have apps and internet and i really do believe it's getting in the way of real life social interaction and shouldn't be used as a replacement for social interaction which many people do. that's where the issues come. cause i can say myself that i have been internet addicted and that it has ruined my life, genuinely when i started getting into habbo i stopped hanging out with real life friends to the point i forgot how to socialise in real life. although i was already starting to get social anxiety and i was vulnerable to it, internet use stood in the way of me getting better for a long time. and i know people without mental illness who get addicted and it still has harmful effects.

also my nephew is 5 and throws huge tantrums if he can't use his tablet and he will use it even when he's supposed to be eating. that's terrifying and before he had his tablet, he would easily stop playing with his toys to go eat. the issue is using it too much and i think a lot of people do (as i stated about using it in situations where you really shouldn't be e.g at a meal).

also the week me and scott didn't have internet at our new place, or the week we were on holiday without internet use, we spent much more time being productive and spending it with each other. now we get in and go straight on the internet then don't spend time with each other until it's bed time. it does/can get in the way of real life relationships. the key is using it moderately and knowing when to stop. but yes it can also be good if you can't contact someone any other way and it can be good for shy people etc but let's not pretend it's completely harmless, especially for vulnerable people like i was.

[welshcake]

My parents have always taken our phones off us when we go to restaurants
But with the social interaction thing, I don't have very much social interaction at the moment. I go to morrisons and see my colleagues and then I go home a see my blinking cat and that's sort of it. Alysha is at her parents house, I don't live anywhere near my parents and then all my friends don't live here either. It's the only way I can communicate with people I like and I know this is the case for a lot of people.
I don't understand why people put people down for using phones and things to communicate. 'go speak to irl people' ye like who omg i work then go home, do hx stuff then go sleep. I work too much for irl friends but I'm alright with that (as sad as it sounds. I got bills to pay ya kno).
wee boopies having tantrums is not their fault really. 'why can't I have the thing that I'm always able to have? waa waa'
Just the way the world is going and I feel like everyone should embrace it, not put it down

sori im just angry at the bloody woman from the other day and honestly, I have mad views on this
it really angered me and i stopped listening to her as soon as she went on (Well, I stopped listening when she made us do a god damn ice breaker exercise)

[buttons]

well that's the same as me, i live 200 miles from my family and also away from scott's family, so the only interaction i have are with colleagues (who i don't see enough to have formed good relationships with) and scott. i'm not denying it can be good, i've met lifetime friends (and obviously my boyfriend) from time on the internet and i wouldn't change that. i also use the internet to keep in contact with all my family (and the few friends who keep in contact once you're no longer physically there lol) and that's good obviously. but like i say, it did get in the way of me making/keeping real life friends which at the end of the day should be a priority over internet friends who i might never meet or only see a couple of times a year and yes that was partly because of my own personality and mental illness but i've seen people without mental illness/vulnerability get addicted (eg scott). like we are both so addicted to the internet and people on the internet we will never/barely meet that we spend the majority of time on there or with them than with each other. it just depends on how you use it and yes it should be embraced but when i have experience of it getting in the way of mental health, recovery and real life, then it's important to know how to use it efficiently, not pretend its all sunshine and roses, especially as it seems a lot of people misuse or overuse it.

i did my dissertation on it so i have strong views too :P like not denying it has been a great development and should be utilized but using it for the wrong reasons, at the wrong time or continuing when it's harmful is a huge problem that gets brushed off as "adults not knowing how to use technology"

[Zak]

How disrespectful they are.

Obviously not to paint all with the same brush. Just going on the majority.

the oversharing of every detail of ur life thru facebook, instagram, twitter etc.
does anyone actually care? no

I think this is some cases, but I guess I'm guilty of it too. I have posted about successes like finishing my degree or getting my first 'proper' job etc or will post photos when I've been on holiday somewhere nice.

But one thing I really don't like is when people post about their babies. Sure a nice little announcement that your expecting or that the little one arrived safely but I see so many people, mainly because all my friends are in their twenties now, posting scans, maternity photos with their bump out, them in their hospital bed right after the birth. I even had one person I knew from school take a photo of the potty after her son had successfully used it...

[-:Undertaker:-]

I don't like how the idea of being humble/humility has gone out of the window. I see post after post after post of people doing stuff for charity, which is all well and good, but I ask myself would they be doing these charity runs/events etc if the option to take a photo and show it off to everyone was not there. Personally if I were to donate to charity, I would slip a £5 in a charity box on the street and - shock horror - not tell everybody/anyone about it.

In addition, if you win a victory over someone (whether an argument or something else) and they can see this/it's self-evident then be humble about that too.

I hate that technology has become a bigger part of life than life itself. The improvement in technology is a great thing and because of it we live longer, are able to have contact with a larger amount of people from different backgrounds and cultures and it brings simplicity to everyday life.

However I hate that a large amount of people have become controlled by it. I've sat in groups of people before where everyone is just glued to their phones when they have people to communicate with who are right next to them!

It's great that you can share things, like the growing of your family and such with family members and friends who aren't close by and can't witness it - which would never have been possibly before. But being glued to your phones is not appealing.

I see young mothers my age, who completely ignore their children on the streets because they're too busy looking at their phones. It's disgusting!

[Jake]

The amount that social networking has taken over peoples lives. Alright it's absolutely fine in some circumstances (friend's moved to Australia etc) however to constantly be on Facebook 6 hours a day is just a waste of your life.

The complete and utter disrespect people have nowadays with other people is disgusting, Like there is no reason to speak to people the way they do because 'it looks cool' It makes you look like an immature idiot that doesn't have social skills.

Music nowadays is junk, People will never know the absolute brilliant bands such as Blink182, Bowling for soup, Funeral for a friend, Alien ant farm as all the music being released now is trance/dance/dubstep etc it makes me feel sorry for the people younger than me being brought up on Justin Bieber & Taylor swift.

New video games, They are such a bore. Too much time is wasted sat in front of a tv with a ps/xbox controller in hand.. Like okay a few hours a day? Fine.. But don't spend from the moment you get in till the moment you sleep playing a game.. That's just sad.

And the my most pet hate of this generation is 'I MUST GO TO THE GYM TO GET HENCH' Seriously.. Being absolutely ridiculously massive at 18 is not cool, Look after yourself and stop following something which is 'in' atm. Going to the gym is fine but people who overdo it to get stupidly big for no actual reason imo are idiots.. Like what is the point unless you are going to become security or something else like that/
