what we do isn't wrong .

Being born into the generation of 90's babies, I've come to the realization that we are constantly judged by our enviornment. Whether you were born into the government system, or raised in the luxuires of life. You're judged. And to be quite honest, I don't think it's fair. When you think about the past that we have been raised by. Children of our day and age, if born low to middle class like most, came from the drug era in America. Being born in New York City, I can personally vouch for the fact that my parents were teenage parents, my birth was unplanned and I turned out fine. While others haven't been granted the same advantages, no one has come to the conclusion that if you take advantage of even the smallest of resources, you'll find that the network and outcome is larger. But in that same instance, if you weren't raised to network and rely on who you know to build what you know and what you do in life- it's doesn't just come out of the clouds that that is what we're supposed to do.

This morning I woke up, and as I do every morning I rolled over and checked my cell phone. The abundance of e-mails and text messages overnight as well as Instant Messages all to my one Blackberry, makes it very evident that we have embarked on a generation of communicators. We are in love with social networking, we blog, we Instant Message, and when we just want to listen we find ourselves going on into someone elses' life and watching the daily actions and comedic lifestyles on YouTube. But why are we so sheltered by our own actions? Why don't we talk to other people instead of blasting our lives through pictures and away messages, because we feel misunderstood.

In our generation, we have been pushed into a world with technologies that our parents and grandparents never witnessed. So the constant unequal balance of communication between us and our parents is due to the fact that parents truly, "do not understand". My mother didn't grow up with AIM, or iChat, iPod, iPhone, or iTunes. So the addictions that we have built with such things, make it so unfortunate for the relationships that we've built as pop culture, in comparison to the relationships that we've built with our parents, who simply cannot relate.

Our teenage pop culture driven society is the most understood, because for the first time society is at a new level of generations principles and morals. While our parents hold things of the past important- it's not that we do not, we just have different approaches. The teaching an old dog new tricks concept has never been more apparent than it is now. We are a society of young folk that can only relate to each other. In a world, where truly, no one else understands.

We live in a fast paced world, where everything comes directly to us, so it would be unnatural for EVERYTHING not to be this way. What we do isn't wrong- it's purely misunderstood.
