Millennials have surpassed Baby Boomers as the nations largest living generation. According to population estimates, millennials the age of 18-34 now number 75.4 million surpassing the 74.9 million Baby Boomers. They are the biggest generation and also our biggest problem. Due to many factors in their community they are known to be inconsiderate, lazy and narcissistic. There are 3 main factors that make them known to be this way.

1. Millennials are known for growing up in a household where their parents teach them there is no second place, or you know the participation trophy parents. The reason this is flawed is because, the children will grow up learning life is full of rewards when you don’t try. Then the kids get old enough to move out and they’re left on their own to do grown up things when they have been taught not to apply themselves to the full potential. That leads to many issues down the road when you can’t get a job because you feel entitled to one. The way to fix this is millennials have to challenge themselves and parents need to let their kids scrape their knees once in a while.
2. Cell phone addiction is another reason these young adults aren’t living their full potential. Cell phone addiction is a real addiction it’s not just some made up thing to get you off your phone at dinner time. When you get a notification it lets off dopamine which is a chemical in your brain and it gives you a sense of pleasure, by that you can become highly addicted.
3. Depression is most common among millennials, millennials statistics show they are the most depressed among any other age group. Highschool dropouts were most common around that age group due to anxiety and bullying. Solving this is easy and also very hard people need to be more sympathetic, but you can’t make people be nice.

Low self esteem and self hate are repercussions of all of these, in order to fix these three factors you must evaluate yourself and ask yourself if you are doing any of these and if you are, you must practice the remedies for the problems, like displaying empathy and challenging yourself.
