Just a close up of some bike gears, think that’s what moves your bike!

February 1- Generation XYZ 

I believe that 80’s babies are Generation X, so I guess the next generation is the generation Y.  When I was graduating high school these were the generation moving into high school,  and many of those kids didn’t care! They didn’t care about showing up, their grades doing work or working hard! When I was 15 my parents told me if I wanted to buy things I’d need a job. So I did and have been working since 15. I don’t remember any of these younger kids having jobs personally.  I feel like these younger generations aren’t taught the same values that our generation was.  And I don’t think I’m the only one, I have plenty of friends who plan to raise their kids like they were raised: spanked, scolded, not rewarded for everything.  Which is kind of scary because I also have plenty of friends who are childless when the younger generations seem to be having more kids that they’ll probably raise the same way they were raised! I’m not saying every member of these generations is this way. However it seems that my generation looks for life experience through college, traveling, expanding friendships and figuring life out before they settle down.  Younger generations are looking to Bieber for life lessons, and having kids young, then getting married young and missing out on some life experiences (you can’t backpack through Europe as easily with a baby!) I know I’m not the only one that feels this way right?!?!??!
