Dear entitled youth of America,
I have a straightforward request for you: Stop the complaining.
Now, I understand that it may not be the kindest approach to tell a child to cease their complaints. Perhaps you’d rather express it in a softer, more nurturing manner.
- “Dear Parker, could you please stop your fussing?”
- “Sweet Isabella, please tone down your discontent.”
- “Little Liam-Alexander-Julia, kindly suppress your dissatisfaction.”
But let’s be real—it’s complaining, and you know it.
Summer is upon us, and it should be a joyful, carefree season for everyone. There’s no need to wake up at the crack of dawn to prepare a pastry, no need to bundle up in layers for warmth, and no more homework, tests, or cafeteria lunches that you dread.
It’s summertime! So why the complaints?
Feeling bored? Oh, I see. Boredom. You’ve been pampered with ice cream, toys, and endless games. Isn’t that enough to keep you entertained for a moment? Why is it that today’s youth requires constant stimulation? Allow me to summarize my own summer experiences: one week in Florida, and the other six weeks were filled with… nothing.
That’s right—nothing. No camps, no organized activities, just time spent in leisure. I swam, rode my bike, caught insects, made crafts from nature, had sleepovers, watched TV, and enjoyed Slush Puppies. I feasted on cheese from a can and played video games while chatting about boys and the latest movies. That was not boring; that was living.
Summer is meant to be easy and relaxed. However, today’s kids can’t simply enjoy a swim without needing to invite a dozen friends and spend exorbitantly on supplies. They can’t play ball in the backyard without being enrolled in a costly camp that promises to teach them skills they may never need. One sleepover isn’t enough; there must be countless gatherings every week to avoid chaos.
They can’t create art without a full craft set from the store and hours of adult supervision to help assemble it. No, they must be constantly engaged and entertained, with no downtime allowed.
How about a vacation at the beach? Surely that would provide ample entertainment. But fast forward a few days, and you’ll find them complaining about not getting the exact souvenir they wanted or the food options available.
Amidst the beautiful scenery and exciting experiences, the complaints persist. Listen closely, young ones! You are among the most fortunate generations in history, with access to technology and conveniences your predecessors could only dream of. Please, I urge you: stop complaining, at least until the summer ends.
