Dear Parents Not Born in this Generation,
Fuck off. I get that you guys think technology is complicated and that itās made us worse. No one fucking asked you.
I play games because they help me with my depression and anxiety. Iām not addicted to leveling up, I literally just like feeling okay for a few minutes.
You donāt want us to rely on our phones, and expect us to do research on our own. I get that you hate Google is at your fingertips, youāre used to searching by yourself. But we donāt have too! The world is changing and you need to fucking understand that.
I like playing a random kids show while I try to sleep, for the noise/itās not scary. Iām not fucking binge watching a show! Thereās no fucking difference between listening to music, and playing a 20 minute episode that youāre not actually watching.
You donāt want me to rely on any technology, what the fuck do you want me to do? Even schools have adapted to using the fucking internet. I still read actual books (I donāt like audiobooks/e-books), and you think all I ever do is use my phone.
Sorry the world is changing. Just because youāre old does not mean youāre wiser.
