But, to a "T" they continue to exist in this public world and choose to do things their own way, and God bless them for it. I'm sure the Pettines had the same conversation with their daughter. I have a conversation with my soccer team every season and with students in the class about it. One of our own learned just how powerful the flow of information is by the explosion of a "private" tweet to a close friend into a national sports news phenomenon when Megan Pettine's comments about her dad's hiring by the Cleveland Browns went viral. If the worst thing these kids will face is that their unabashed dedication to living their entire lives through the filter-less world of social media, to steal some words from the great Pete Townshend, I think "The Kids are Alright." These kids are much brighter, more passionate, and much more interested in their future than for what most give them credit. What you see from these kids all over the news with their missteps and wrong-doings is not a fair representation of the generation they represent. He's got plenty of company with Miley Cyrus, Amanda Bynes and rapper Keith Cozart, better known as "Chief Keef" whose pictures spread out across tabloid about as often as Alec Baldwin hosts "Saturday Night Live." It's no wonder many are concerned about our country's future when the celebrities that represent the "Generation Z" are pulling stupid stunts.
Businesses closing as the still lagging economy can't turn quickly enough to keep them going.Īnd then there's the Justin Bieber disaster. Neighbors whose pipes have burst or friends who have lost their house during a holiday fire. There's a shooting in the Columbia Mall killing three people in the same area that my wife was walking less than 16 hours earlier. Everywhere you turn, the news is just downright awful.
