It's no secret that today's youth are completely consumed with themselves. "Follow me on Instagram!", "Check my Snapchat!". Young people's social media profiles are littered with complaining about their jobs and about how bored/depressed they are. They post endless selfies showing off their Gucci shades and nonsensical posts boasting what they ate at Arby's for lunch. They complain about people and the world and hope others agree with their views via "likes". As a result their lives are full of "me, me, and more me!". It is a growing epidemic. Our youth is becoming a circus act of smartphone zombies.
I want to see an organization send one-way tickets to every young, entitled person who suffers from social anxiety and Special-Sowflake-Syndrome, line them all one-by-one up on a plane and send them to an impoverished remote village in Africa. Let them see with firsthand experience what struggle is. Let them witness what anxiety really feels like. Let them see that nobody really cares about them or their Snapchat or their Instagram. Then they will open their eyes to reality and never feel sorry for themselves again. They will come home more productive and compassionate for their fellow man. Ready to make a difference and ready to work hard.
What do you think? They would have to load me on the plane too because I'm infected with "me-me-me" syndrome too.
