Our Generation vs Our Parent's Generations
Every generation faces new challenges and new problems. What do you think is the biggest difference between your generation and older generations? How do you think these differences will affect the future of our country and/or your career choice?
Every generation is different in so many ways, but at the same time, we’re exactly alike. We, as teenagers, are unsure, insecure, and confused about who we are and what we want to do with our lives.
