Good grief, 131 more messages to read before I catch up again on this thread. I just want to say how very glad I am for the
Hangout.
If not for the Hangout, I'd be really depressed about the number of comments expressing negativity about today's younger people.
Being able to talk face to face with some of the people who are making the comments that I regard as negative leads me to believe that those people are not feeling as hopeless as I perceive them to be through the text comments here in this thread, and that is a good thing!
Personally, I think it's a never-ending cycle for the older generations to believe that the younger generations don't have what it takes.
I have always believed, and will continue to believe, that somehow, the youth of today will manage to find a way, just as we did.
