“What is the biggest misconception about youth?

Young people seem to think that what our world is, is because our generation wasn’t raised right. But what people don’t understand is that we can’t see our world as a utopia anymore.

Not all young people are disrespectful.

Older generations tend to think that youth do not care about the future. When we speak up, we get shut down. When we don’t say anything, we automatically get bashed for it.

Teens have a different perspective on the world. We aren’t as biased because of people telling us things that change our opinion. We are open-minded to new ideas and possibilities. We also strive to be successful and since we are sometimes stubborn, we don’t let people tell us ‘no’ to get in our way.

I feel one misconception about being a youth is that we all know everything about technology, but there is more we don’t know and there is so much for us to learn.
