TO THE YOUNGER GENERATION . AND TO ALL MOANING ABOUT THE YOUNGER GENERATION.

As you might know I'm a beauty blogger

but I'm also a big mouthed highly opinionated 

individual you see. 

I literally just read this article HERE

And to cut the long article short, 

it's basically a teacher moaning about the younger generation

 being on ask.fm and being rude and such.

I rolled my eyes throughout the article. 

To put things into perspective

I am a 22 year old university communications graduate. 

I used to work as a teacher to foreign students for a little over a year (mainly teenagers). 

I don't know what's with Maltese people (maybe it's not just the Maltese people)

but we like to complain, and we like to have our say about everything

and moan about everything. 

And obviously I'm Maltese so I'm going to moan about the moaning people. 

Back when I was in Form 4 - I remember we had this cool English teacher 

and he was just talking to us in class. 

He said that when the older generations moan about our generation

we shouldn't take notice, 

because when he was younger (he was probaby mid-40s back then)

the older generations complained about them. 

Whenever the newer technologies popped up - 

from TVs to telephones to mobile phones and what not

the older-not-used-to-the-new-technologies generations

moaned about new technologies and how it is affecting society. 

AND OF COURSE, 

Moaning that the younger people are spoiled brats 

who don't appreciate anything and respect the older generation. 

AND NOW. 

The moaners moan about ASK.FM and the bullying it comes with. 

As if bullying was not an issue in the past. 

As if ASK.FM invented it. 

I was a teenager once, 

I used to be on HI5

and post about "messiv najts" and

adding people I don't know 

and

talking to strangers on the web too. 

What happened ?

I grew up. 

I'm way more mature now and I don't do that anymore. 

Do I regret doing that?

HECK NO. 

I was a teenager, 

and if you are one - 

it's OKAY.

Ignore the moaners who are trying to make you feel like crap. 

I have one advice for you. 

DO WHAT YOU LOVE. 

DO WHAT MAKES YOU TRULY HAPPY. 

You're a teenager. 

ENJOY your teenage life. 

Be stupid if you have to. 

and just be YOU.
