Rough pill to swallow but I hate people whose personality is “I give you back the way you treat me but twice” cause it’s never twice the love. Twice the kindness. Twice the care. Its just another excuse to be extra nasty and justify it to themselves
I'm furious about this.
I'm a parent and one of my children who falls in this age category has faced very serious in person bullying at school that extended out into social media. It was all encompassing and seriously harmful.
So I understand the potential for seriously negative impact from social media on young people.
But the single most important thing that got them through it was their friendship online with kids in the US. 1 in particular who became a very close friend who was part of a larger group.
They game together but spend the time chatting and working on plans for the future. It's a true friendship. Talking about business ideas, culture, etc, for hours everyday.
Without that, they would have had absolutely no outlet and been doomed to only exist in a reality in which they have been completely outcast.
As a parent, I monitor social media use using already available tools. I create accounts myself and know who is being interacted with.
I set up curfews for certain apps on all devices but make sure I allow for the positive interactions and friendships to happen.
As some are in the US, that means access at late hours but I'm entirely capable of managing this and I know the trade offs involved and then manage through those as well.
I talk with my children directly about the risks, what to do, what not to do and why.
If the government moves forward with these blanket curfews, that will cut my child off from their best friend for good which will very seriously impact their mental health.
I will absolutely not accept the government harming my child in this manner.
He actually does.
The whole movie is about him being shunned/bullied by his friends (who also bullied her) and everyone else.
He grows up, develops social anxiety and wants to kill himself because he hates himself that much for the way he treated her. Only not going through with it because he wants to make it up to her, even though they were actual middle schoolers when this occurred.
He learns sign language, helps her sister and practically dedicates himself to her, and the entire message is a beautiful one. That you can always atone for what you've done and anyone is capable of change and becoming a better person.
How ironic that message is lost on Twitter users.
@LaReigneVT Pshhhh WEAK, they haven't seen what I have. I've been through the trenches and am still willingly following.... Under threat of emotional disowning
A Gen Z joined the team.
Week one.
During onboarding, the manager said,
“We sometimes stay late during peak periods.”
Gen Z nodded.
Then asked,
“Is that paid… or just expected?”
The room went quiet.
- No attitude.
- No rebellion.
- Just a question.
Later that day, HR mentioned “growth opportunities.”
Gen Z replied,
“Does growth include raises, or just more responsibility?”
Again, silence.
- No laziness.
- No entitlement.
- Just clarity.
That’s when the team realized something.
When people say
“Gen Z is lazy,”
what they really mean is:
Gen Z watched old generation
- skip meals,
- miss birthdays,
- work weekends,
- and burn out
only to be told
“budgets are tight”
and “be grateful you have a job.”
So Gen Z chose differently.
- They don’t romanticize overwork.
- They don’t confuse suffering with ambition.
- They don’t trade health for praise.
They still work hard.
They just refuse to work for nothing.
It’s not laziness.
It’s pattern recognition.
And honestly,
after everything old generation went through…
Can you really blame them?
