About how she reads it? It sounds very different when she reads it than how it sounded in my head the first time, and now the poem has a very different feel for me...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15859084138187073439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4375071335679640824.post-82269844908577520992014-09-14T18:12:01.950-07:002014-09-14T18:12:01.950-07:00I agree there are similarities and differences in ...I agree there are similarities and differences in the generations. Youth will always live fast lives though. They will always want to party, be reckless and embrace the music of their generation. That's part of growing up, part of sowing those wild oats. I definitely don't see it as a bad thing and yet just a necessary one. The real changes are just those of the times, what's happening around them. And how they grow up millennial generations have a deeper sense of entitlement because of the excessive coddling and assuredness their fed about being special and being able to be or do anything they want. This next generation to follow us will have their own obstacles, with technology with at the epicenter of their lives, having all the information in the world at their constant disposal will have it's own effects. But I believe 16-20 somethings will still be reckless. They'll still do as they please, live fast and enjoy their youth because that's the point. To enjoy your youth while you have it. The amount of people in my generation that have lost their youth to children is tragic. That had to grow us at 16,17,18 is sad. I can't imagine being a mother and I'm 23 and married. I have so much more adventures to have. I couldn't imagine having to give it all up. I know that's not mentioned in the poem but unlike those in the 60's mistake having been leaving school I think children of the 90's and 2000's is losing their youth to being teen parents. It's tragic but it can't be stopped and the next generation will have it's own problems. The youth will be fast in their own ways and they'll self destruct on their own.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12222136218723353667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4375071335679640824.post-28588913646799835072014-09-14T17:14:02.144-07:002014-09-14T17:14:02.144-07:00I enjoyed this post.

It's definitely not relevant for our generation as much, yet some things still stand as true I feel. We definitely, as the "millenial" generation, live fast as well, party too often, and are fueled by music. Some of the mentalities are different, but overall, young people still seem the same to me. The only change can be seen in the issues they face nowadays compared to the 60's. CoryRobinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03779488579810368226noreply@blogger.com
