I'm a millenial parent who was emotionally neglected by my boomer parents. It's surprisingly common. I refuse to repeat that with my kids. My parents just bought me stuff to "keep me happy." I buy my kids the basics. They don't need too much spoiling or they start feeling entitled.
this is ridiculous. they care so much about skincare and makeup and stuff, saying "we're not that young! we're just like you!" but they obviously aren't- i also find it so crazy that these parents don't even care about their children's knowledge or even just basic brain development like spelling words at twelve??? 0-0 i started reading at 4 ⁉⁉🤨🤨
As someone just around this age, a bit older, I’ve read almost my whole life and spend an average of about 3-4 hours a day reading. I couldn’t imagine not.
If i had a gen alpha child i would have them avoid technology until theyre more mentally mature, mainly giving them real entertainment like actual creative hobbies or going outdoors
@@Zahaveron nope but even in the US, i've talked to a 15 year old on discord who said they have a D in English... edit: we used to get As in gen z era hs, so idk wtf this is
My Indonesian cousin (7 yrs old) is raised in Indonesia and holy shit. She RARELY have tantrums, Does her homework right, and whenever I visit I always tell her to stop using her phone she automatically STOPS.
fr I always get my sisters tablet away and she goes to play with her dolls. and, sometimes we go out for a walk, just so we don't be on our phones for too long
yeah, this is probably just american problem. I have two gen alpha cousins and they're really the sweetest kids. Their parents don't give them access to play the phone (only on weekends, holiday, or school to call them for transportation). When I was their age, my parents gave me a phone that's only able to call someone to pick me up from school. I didn't have advanced screen phone that my parents had the ability to buy. And I think the same way, kids should be banned from using ipad/phone until they reach mature age where they can read and filter information.
This is definitely just a problem in America. My two gen alpha cousins always go outside and play either with each other or other neighbor's kids. Sure they can sit on IPad but not 24/7 and their parents always set them time limit
I'm Indonesian, and my 6 year old cousin is smarter and has more sense of respect and responsibility than my coworker's 14 year old child raised in the US. To make it worse, my coworker's child doesn't even know how to boil water 😶
Also! blame the system that forces many families to sacrifice quality time for more hours/another job/overtime just to put food on the table or pay the rent
I agree that it's not just iPads, but unrestricted access to them that is the problem. My siblings and I had a shared iPad growing up, but we never got more than an hr on it per day, and we played outside or with toys the rest of the time.
Growing up my sister and I shared a computer, then an iPad when we got a little older, only really having unfettered access to the internet by the time we both got our own smartphones end of middle school/early high school. The internet is unironically really great and was an incredible space for someone who is a curious minority like myself, but only if the child is given the opportunity to experience reality first.
I use to be this way, i barely used my devices unless i was putting it in the phone holder (it’s suppose to act as a tv) of my barbie doll house. Me and my sister used our devices to record us making slime, watching movies, playing tag, or stuff on vine. She moved out at 16, we are 5 years apart. I was left lonely, and still now. Shes 18 now. I can confirm its more fun when you have someone to play with. I lost my social skills when she left cause I no longer had a good human interaction with someone close in my age group. 😕 So i can confirm constant screentime is brain rotting and is 100% breaking our social skills.😢
It's not just that. I mean you can use an iPad to teach your child how to read or play educational games etc. Like unlimited time with an iPad if you only have access to idk kindle, a crossword game and duolingo is not going to "ruin" a kids development either. Which is what I find so frustrating. If you decide that you want to give your kids an iPad/tablet to have a break or whatever that's fine. But you can literally control what they have access to. if you don't want to limit screen time just limit the apps/internet access. It's really not that difficult :(
I didn't get a phone until i was 12 and even then it was one of those tiny phones that are like...half the size of normal phones these days..and honestly it was more than enough
I don't think a student should be embarrassed for not knowing something, at that age it's more the parents' responsibility to make sure your child is reading at grade level.
@@once.upon.a.time.fr, to many parents think that school just has to do all the work when it comes to learning, which isn’t true parents are also a huge part when it comes to teaching their children
Instead of blaming the youth for their incompetency, how about we accept that it was our fault, incompetency, and responsibility to nurture these kids into the people we want them to be?
One of the most mature comment i ever seen. I'm sometimes babysit my cousins, and i'm having hard time apply the parenting solutions ... i ended up hitting them out of anger, and i felt so bad. That's why it's important to know ourselves then find a way to work with our prenting method without potentially hurting ourselves or potentially hurting our children's heart and future
12 year old here. this video and others like it are (mostly) bs. there always was and always will be stupid kids, this is just highlighting them. my 12/13 year old peers are all very smart and can read at high levels. the "dumb" kid in my class's favorite book is animal farm. the "gen alphas can't read" thing is just fear mongering that uses examples of not so bright kids to cause fear. here's some of the books my 12 year old friend has read (what she could quickly recall when i asked her just now): most jane austen, lots of shakespeare, jane eyre, wuthering heights, frankenstein, dracula, 1984, never let me go, the secret history, i capture the castle, the great gatsby, the picture of dorian gray, their eyes were watching god, white teeth, sapient etc, currently reading the prince by machiavelli
my sister is gen alpha, and she's always been a worse reader than me. shes got hyperactive adhd and was diagnosed at a young age. she didnt experience all the pressure that i did and im very happy for her. but i think that pressure is the only reason that i did so well academically. i wasn't diagnosed until i was 12 so i was expected to perform as well as my peers despite having a developmental disability. i excelled academically but fell behind socially. im glad shes thriving socially, but shes definitely not as strong academically (though compared to some of these kids shes doing great)
@@Swiftie13love idk if id say its okay tbh, theres really no reason to struggle with school material they show you nothing challenging in all 12 years maybe a few concepts will be difficult for you personally but the vast majority shouldnt be challenging at all. Its usually not an inability but a refusal to try
I'm glad for your sister! I'm a gen alpha, and I can comfirm, as long as your sister gets more then a 35 on a test (5th grade test at that..), she's better then some of my classmates.
Cool, I wasn't diagnosed until 22 and struggled with school, reading a book, learning from a book or notes, going to it, and holding a job. True, my parents didn't care much and I could do whatever I wanted, which was bad for me. I dropped out of school at 18, I wasn't really going to school at all so there was no point of continuing. Only when I got medicated, I could finish my studies. Everyone's ADHD is different, that's that. And no, I never used social media or tiktok, so it wasn't to blame.
I have severe adhd, but wasn't diagnosed or treated until I was 20. I was always a great reader, it was all I ever wanted to do - because I didn't have electronics, and books were amazing! I think the adhd isn't the problem, it's the parents and social media...I feel so bad for gen alpha
Words of advice: Gen Alpha don’t act the way they do because of their birth year, they act like they do because of how their parents raised them. I saw a comment here saying that Gen Alpha is why they won’t become a parent, and frankly that is just absurd. If you raise your children right, they will not be disappointments, and neither will you. The real disappointments are the parents who give these kids screens at age two.
No exactly. A combination of bad parenting and a crumbling education system that values standardized testing over encouraging a love of learning and creative and critical thinking. Blaming the kids is not only insulting, hypocritical, and unproductive, but it’s flat out incorrect.
One huge problem is the fact that if you raise your kids differently they will be different to other kids and either get bullied for it or try to become like the others too.
You can raise your kids really well, but the moment they set foot in a school, it doesn't matter. They're gonna learn just as much, if not more, from their peers and teachers. And peers are a lot more influential to the kid than their parents, specially after 10.
Studies show that before age 10, that’s when parents have the most opportunity to influence their children but it’s clear that number is shrinking lower and lower very quickly due to outside influence infiltrating kids’ minds so much earlier. With kids’ #1 priority as being cool and to fit in, it’s hard mot to feel hopeless about having kids care about the right things again.
unfortunately social media has become the parents and the parents just became npcs... this was not the future i envisioned when i graduated hs 2 years ago 🤨
In Bulgaria we stress on the importance of "the first 7 years". That's because kids start school at 7, so by then you have to be taught how to behave, because that's what's going to stick.
it’s not shame that they need. it’s education, and i dont want to hear “shame is a valid learning experience”, which tbh is not technically wrong, but it’s better to teach the kids in a different way
The difference between my mom and my aunt. I learned about cocomelon when she came over and my nephew started "not behaving" and she just gave him her phone and he just got quite and mindlessly saying after the people in the video were saying. He doesn't even speaking his native language well
@@rozskz I agree with that if you are talking about abuse abuse but when it comes to like slap on the hand and medium tone yelling I would 100% allow that
I have autism and learned difficulties (diagnosed), when I was at 3rd year of secondary school my vocabulary level was similar to an 8 years old. I had to work harder than regular people at school and fortunately managed to finish my master degree. Those kids and teens have the ability to learn and they trashed it.
Real I had to take a special ed class for english for almost my entire elementary year and now I'm up to the point where I surpass my peers it's really sad
I just commented a very similar thing. Its so sad how these children could have such big potential but their parents just let them trash it. They let the kids dropout, or just not care about school.
You can’t blame a child with no guidance or maturity to know the reasoning for their actions. You just can’t really expect them to act like adults. It’s their adults that act like kids and treat their kids like friends instead of being proper mentors. Millennials are definitely becoming more and more the undisputed worse parents, and as social media obsession and lack of individuality or morality goes on, gen z are gonna be worse. It’s well-mannered individuals against society at this point, don’t follow the crowd, because society is destructive now, it’s not of good influence like in the past, it’s the truth
In my school, the students have to work 2x as hard due to most of them speaking Arabic as a first language and english as a second (Also third language of German, Spanish, or French) and they are still doing miles better than these kids who aren't trying.
Yeah. I can confirm. When I was in high school, there were kids who couldn’t read. None of the adults cared but they sure got mad when kids couldn’t answer complex questions. But we had “one of the best school districts” in America. Please.🙄
At our school, one of the middle school math teachers asked a bunch of 8th graders to read the analog clock on the wall. HALF OF THEM FAILED. 50%! The remaining half was either laughing or staring with horrified looks, or both. Wild.
I learned how to read an analog clock when I was in third grade, though I never really saw those clocks much, I never forgot how to read one lol- It's pretty sad that people can't read them, its extremely easy.
It took me years and thousands of dollars to get a degree in teaching and child psychology and my first month as a teacher made me regret it all. I quit after a year. Society is a mess, the pandemic messed up a lot of kids development and parents did not adjust well. The kids can't concentrate, their brains all desire constant stimulation through a screen, they don't want to learn unless it's fed to them as a fun tidbit of stimulation with loud sounds and bright colors. My year 5 kids were reading at a year 2 grade, the parents didn't work with their kids, and the kids didn't care (which I don't blame them, they've been conditioned into this). The teachers are getting punished by the bosses and the parents, there is a reason so many teachers are leaving. There is zero reward for teaching right now- we aren't helping kids get where they need to be, we aren't paid enough, we are working so many hours unpaid, and the schools do not support us. We can't be therapists, teachers, and parents all on a salary of 35k a year. It is physically and mentally destroying us. Society needs to change.
hi! i’m italian, i’m 21, and here in studying at university to became a teacher. I just want to make clear that gentle parenting, like u said, is this new type to became parents. There are actually a lot of studies that says that punishment is not actually a good thing, and in a lot of cases it makes things worse. Corporal punishment is never a good thing and can’t be considered as something educational. Anyway i wanted to share u something that almost every teacher told us, which is to remember that children are people. I know that it sound stupid, but it always helped me. Like is not their fault if they r born after me so i’m gonna respect them. And trust that if u do this they will really became on our side during their education. hope this is interesting for someone🥰
As a 12 year old in 7th grade, middle school sucks. Everyone is so immature and innapropriate and can’t spell anything. I barely think I’m THAT smart but I can spell and read better than half of the kids in my grade. We’re doomed 😍
I just realized that I really appreciate your slow talking. As a foreign I really love that I can understand every word. What is more, your voice is so calming and I could listen to you before bed haha thanks for your work
As an older gen alpha I only use brain rot to joke also I can read and write And yes I am typing this on a iPad what I do most things on such as editing, animation, playing online and off line games, watching UA-cam, and keeping up my duo streak
@@sakkoyaba4482 I’ve been hit before that’s the closest thing to that I know it’s not exactly the same but it’s the closest from my experiences so far in life
Im considered a Zalpha (2009-2010) im Gen z but missed gen alpha by the skin of my teeth. It breaks my heart that children aren't reading anymore, i know school's do tend to suck the joy out of reading by setting boring class novels and such but used to love reading in my free time when i had the time (don't have any now). Reading is such an important step in a childs Reading comprehension, letter recognition and much more.😢
I'm 14 but talking with an 11-year old even if there is only a 3-year gap....I'm sorry but it feels like I'm at least 18 and I'm talking to 1-year old kid......
Omg this is so real, everytime i see someone who is 11 online they spell so badly its insane. Edit: To all of you kids in the reply's telling us about YOUR experience, you have nothing to do with this. Nobody is targeting YOU specifically. We are talking about the majority of children. If you want to argue back use statistics and facts instead of your experience.
@@340dokidokiY’all are so rude to kids, for what? My little cousin (12) always was curious and wanted to talk and debate with the adults. They always shut her down and instead gave her the iPad. Now she’s a Sephora kid who acts way older than her age and isn’t curious anymore. She just looks at her iPad all day. Let kids talk without shutting them down
Also is it just me or are gen alpha kids into late 2010s trends? I saw a little kid dabbing yesterday, and before that I saw one using a hoverboard. It feels like I’m in 2017 again, but like, in a bad way.
As an 11 year old gen alpha, this is crazy but true. All the kids in my class can’t read, I’m in 7th grade!! I think it’s cuz I’m Asian and stuff lol. But these kids cannot read, not at all. Can’t write. Some can’t speak. Yet my relatives always ask me why I never make friends in my class, THOSE KIDS CANNOT SPEAK. I can’t make friends with kids in my own generation!! I’ve moved like 6 schools -bc of my dad’s job, not something abt me- and they’re all so dead like do they even know English???
I’m 17, and there are people in my grade who can’t read above a 6th grade level. I’m not in an impoverished suburb. I’m literally in one of the more well-off middle class parts of Miami that is an economic hub. I’ve literally only seen two homeless people in the last five years. One of them today. Yet, people talk like ratchets and can’t read a book above the level of To Give a Mouse a Cookie, I swear. Pessimism isn’t a good thing, but I cannot deny the fact that I personally don’t see us going places. Which especially worries me when we already have certain global powers trying to influence us for the worse, currently committing atrocities in the likes of Eastern Europe and the Arabian Peninsula and central Asia. We are already seeing how easy people fall for their traps. Things are going to get worse. Much worse.
@@lima4-2angel fr like, but the kids that CAN read are sooooo weird, like they say skibidi and alpha in every sentence unironically, like excuse me???? This one Arab girl that can’t speak English said “إنتي لا الفا و ال الفا”, meaning “you are not alpha, I am the alpha” WHEN I ANSWERED A QUESTION IN CLASS CORRECT. IT WAS “X + 7= 10, X=?” WHY WOULDNT I ANSWER WHEN IN A ROOM FULL OF DROOLING CHEETO HAND DELINQUENTS?
Why does anyone care what generation it is? Like, who genuinely cares? Let's stop focusing on making fun of these kids, or excusing them because they're gen alpha, and instead focus on actually helping them grow up. Edit: spelling
Yup nothing will change if we just go “oooo a video about how the kids are doomed and how stupid they are, next video.” We need to put in effort to fix it
True. Everyone dunks on gen alpha and instead of helping, they just complain and blame literal children for a mess that really is just a bunch of past problems combined.
YES SOMEONE WHO HAS A BRAIN LIKE KIDS ARE JUST KIDS THEY CANT QUICKLY GROW UP FROM 5 TO 13 IN JUST 2 DAYS. People really don’t have any common sense, generation doesn’t matter just focus on your life and what’s important about your life
I have a nephew who is 8 and is on the spectrum, and bro can read like there's no tomorrow, but then again we aint spoiling him and isn't a jerk, I heard about how other gen alpha kids can be, but hey then again yk they were talking crap about gen z, before that the milennials, so the cycle is just gonna go on. edit: LOVE YOUR VIDEOS ZOE GIRL, keep em up
@@sevayoaroblox8527 Really? The usage of one word which has been in circulation for over 200 years is indicative of their grammar as a whole? Try again.
3:57 this isn't even true. "gyat" is a term that originated from AAVE, and was an abbreviation of "goddamn" and could pretty much be used the same way you'd you that phrase. Some gamer who was popular with Gen A streamed a game and would say "gyatt" towards the attractive women, so the younger generations got it confused and fucked up the word
I am 12 years old and I am a BIG bookworm and I am shocked that my fellow peers CAN'T read but remember not all people are a brat I don't even have a phone but anyway, love your videos ♥️
me too, well I have a phone but i rarely use it now. I’m usually on my iPad instead, but even when I am I’m either watching educational videos, finding inspiration for drawing, studying, or binge watching. It’s very sad that some students don’t even have basic reading comprehension skills honestly.
Hi! I'm one of the older Gen Alphas here and I would like to say a few things: 1. NOT all Gen Alphas are dumb and incompetent. I know this varies, but personally, the people I know and go to school with are able to complete their work to the standard required, in fact, some kids even got given more challenging work. But I really am concerned for the children in the clips, they really need to learn how to read, and ASAP (it hurts my soul to see that girl say 'bet-win' when she was asked to read the word between 😭 mainly bcs i am known by my friends for being a nerd and a bookworm etc. and i LOVE expanding my vocabulary whenever i see new words in books and tv shows 🤓) 2. _In school_ (I emphasised that as I will talk about other situations later) out of all the girls in my class, _no one_ has tantrums and shows disrespect to a teacher. (Albeit, now that I look back on it, some girls do, but they get warned of the punishment and even if they protest, sometimes they still don't listen and have to move and sit at the front of the class) Even in primary school, only a few kids had tantrums and talked back to the teacher, but that was usually because they have issues with learning as well/fast as most kids. (I apologise, but that is the most respectful way that I can think of to put it) 3. Yes, kids do have tantrums and disrespect authority. I've seen it happen at family gatherings with the younger cousins etc. I should be honest, so I will say that I have before also done that, but after watching quite a number of videos addressing this situation, I realise that the situation is still _very_ bad... 4. After seeing multiple Instagram accounts (yes i use instagram, _sadly_) which teach people good ways of parenting, to connect with their kids, teach them body positivity, consent etc, I conclude that yes, gentle parenting is a good way of parenting, but only if it's done properly. _How_ is it done _properly_? I don't know. I don't have children, so I can't give you a real answer. Sorry. But taking away that screen sometimes, restricting what can be used on the ipad, monitoring what's happening on the devices, are some places to start I guess 5. I'M SORRY BUT WHY DO LITTLE CHILDREN NEED SKINCARE (yes i'm breaking my professional formal talk for this tehe 🙃) AND YES I KNOW THAT 8-13 Y/O ARENT CONSIDERED LITTLE GIRLS BUT STILL. IM LITERALLY THE SAME AGE AS SOME OF THESE GIRLS ONLINE AND ALL I DO IS WASH MY FACE WITH BABY SOAP (i js love johnsons baby soap haha) AND PUT CETAPHIL MOISTURISER ON MY FACE (for my pimples 🥲) AND I LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE I USE ON MY FACE IS BABY LOTION AND SUNSCREEN... HAVEN AND KOTI ARE SEVEN YEARS OLDDDDDDDD THEY DONT NEED ALL THAT STUFF AND NEITHER DOES ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 That's my input on this whole situation, _thank you for listening to my Ted Talk_ :-) 🤪 ps. NOTES: a) in point 2 i mention specifically girls as i go to an all girls school, not to purposely exclude boys lol b*i*) yes i use instagram, i do have a tiktok account but i legit havent opened the app in a year 💀 and i have youtube, thats all tho b*ii*) no but istg i dont watch brain rot, the channels i usually watch often changes a lot depending on what i like at the moment, and what new channels i discover 🙃 (rn most of my on yt that i watch are _Vsauce, Veritasium, Answer in Progress, RobertIDK_) c) oh and i live in australia so u may have picked up on certain things in this comment that point to that like how i spelt things etc d) i have a tendency to type rlly long comments and messages bcs i like over explaining things but also i like putting ALL of my thoughts on paper, maybe its why i talk so fast, to get all my ideas out :) *if u actually read my whole comment tysm, i applaud u* 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 (not there being like a million grammarly mistakes bro 💀its correcting my aussie spelling of things >:( )
In my (English) high-school, things are looking DOWN. Currently, the entire cohort of students is in gen-z, and, quite frankly, they're basically just as bad, if not worse, than the gen-alpha kiddos. Of course, I am the typical 'gifted' student, so maybe I am over-reacting, but not a lesson goes by where I do not feel this rage at the disrespect students can enact. A teacher says we need to do work. One student talks when it is quiet work, then no-one can collaborate. Another does their make-up and none of it gets confiscated, because the teacher has had to deal with this so many times. The teachers being underpaid, children being raised by the horrific side of the internet and a burnt out species contribute to this problem. More personally, the children are mean! I hear a slur every time I walk to a new lesson, and Pride Club, who I'm an ambassador for, has gotten raided, made fun of and been the butt of multiple jokes. I cannot imagine what it's like in the west, but I am going to be crying myself to sleep by the time I'm doing A-levels at this rate. Anyhow, have a good day and thank you for a comment that sets me up perfectly to rant.
Basically, it is the same as it was since the 1980s. You are still considered a nerd just for wanting to learn. At the same time, you are, actually, more stupid than other children from developing countries.
I'm gen alpha and I can read fine, everyone in my class can.We're all in 7th grade. Please don't believe everything you see on the internet.You only see the worst of it,some of these kids may be disabled or just like that.Not all of us are like this.
Fr. I’m a gen z right at the cut off (some might consider me a cusper, gen cusp is the generation between two generations of any two specified generations) so I’m a 7th grader too. Idk about the regular classes but the advanced is doing fine. We all score at above profic on the same state tests older gen zoomers and even millennials took. I score at 10.2(grade 10 month 2) on my english state tests. Although there are some really dumb kids tbh… my cousin can’t read, she’s 12 🥶 homeschooled by bad parents tho so it’s not her fault i think..
You kids are doing just fine. I'm a gen z/millenial cusper and around your age early gen z was eating tidepods and getting wheeled to the hospital. There are slow children in every age group throughout history and the older gen is always going to judge the younger one based on the least fortunate specimen they can get their hands on, its the circle of life. Don't feel too down about it. You don't need their approval, Gen Alpha's not better or worse than the other gens. Do your own thing.
Fr tho, I'd never heard of any of this until I saw it on UA-cam. I'm a late gen z though some people would call me alpha, I can read great and everyone I've met is fine at it too.
Ay kid, we believe you. We will support Gen Alpha the best we can, so do not lose hope in humanity! There is still good out there, we gotchu homie! Stay united, regardless of the generation, and we will make this world a better place. I believe in y'all homies, you are the future of the planet and you can and will do great things! Keep up the good work!
As a a guy who is barely gen alpha, I kinda agree from personal experience that this is a bit exaggerated. However, I’ve definitely seen this kind of shit happen more and more through the years, so I think parents should still keep an eye on them
I was born on 2010 and I don't know whether I'm gen alpha or gen z. But I'm grateful to my mom for teaching me alphabets and not giving me an IPad, ever. I'm now acknowledged by my English teacher and get straight A's in English. I may have full on gen z humor but once again, I'm thankful that I never turned out like whatever the heck happened to these kids. Horrible parenting 0 out of 10 would not recommend. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk lol
2010 - 2012 is Zalpha, so both Gen Z and Gen Alpha. I was always pretty good at math but as for Reading and Writing I wouldn’t say I am below grade level as I do make the marks. This issue for me being better at math than reading is that as of now is our school basically grades our reading and summaries based off of completion and not accuracy 9 times out of 10 for regular and honors classes. So I get As in English too but at a cost of not improving myself and it doesn’t prepare me for the future. As nice as it is to get an A on my report card, it’s at the cost of not actually growing and I feel like that’s not that big of an issue with math classes because they ACTUALLY teach you what’s going to be on the SAT, ACT, other exams and it actually helps prepare you and expand your knowledge (well despite homework being for completion). Also they made the AP Lang exam slightly easier but that still concerns me a little…
I was born in early 2010, raised by gen X parents. I get called lazy when I relax for more than a day, and as a child I was highly encouraged to go outside, rain or shine. I love to read and while I have plenty of classmates that are capable and independent when It comes to their studies, there are definitely a few classmates who just lack the motivation and interest to learn new things in school. I pride myself in being decently smart, but I also struggle with spelling, I always have. I am fluent in reading and I'm ready to learn and correct my mistakes. Most of the time, the problem within schools is young students don't have the motivation to grow, learn and adapt to the world outside their screens.
The issue is absolutely not the students lacking motivation. The issue is that school as an institution gives little incentive to have motivation in the first place and is so focused on teaching standardized testing that creating an environment that actually nurtures their minds is neglected. Arts programs are being cut, recess is being cut, even social studies is being cut in a lot of public school systems. Anything that made school fun or interesting or easier to manage is slowly being picked away at, and even if you haven’t seen it happen where you live, I promise it’s happening. Good, accessible education simply isn’t considered important to enough of our lawmakers. One of the major American political parties actively advocates for cutting funding for the Department of Education. How can all kids possibly be enthusiastic about learning when they live in a society that refuses to value it? Kids don’t come out hating learning. They don’t start life unmotivated to do anything outside of a screen. They are conditioned and raised that way by an education system that discourages critical thinking and creative initiative then criticizes them when they consequently fall behind. You seem very well spoken, intelligent, and I applaud your drive. I’m glad that you have seemed to find a love of learning, but I’m so tired of people blaming the kids instead of the systems that they are raised in. There’s a lot of reasons kids might lack motivation. We just need to be empathetic and attentive enough to understand them.

It actually make me feel so sad because I'm only 13(from the beginning of Alpha generation) and I already speaks Portuguese, English, Italian and I'm learning german. But everyone thinks I'm stupid because of that tipe of children...
For me it wasn’t like this. When I was Little my parents gave me an iPad, but I didn’t want it. I played with my toys and went outside. My screentime wasn’t more than 1 hour. Although I watched Mickey and doc mc.Stuffins in the morning and at night. When I did play with my iPad I, I was watching English stuff ( I am Romanian ) and that’s how I learnt to speak English. Without school and textbooks, just 2 girls playing with her Anna and Elsa dolls. So I guess the ipad can be be a valuable too, when used right.
I'm 12, I don't use make-up, I can read,and I dont use the gen-a words(unlike my classmates). I don't know if I'm gen-a or gen-z, but I am sure stuck in the 80s-00s and I love it :D And I did have a flip phone :] + I still use radio and I love it♡
i wish i was you!!!! i do the same except for having a flip phone/using the radio but goodness i wish i could do that. the thing about the radio in my country is that it doesn't really talk about things the news does and it's not what i normally like to listen to, so i can't do that. the flip phone is because i can't afford one haha-
Thing is people take a minority of kids in gen alpha and make it represent the entire generation. Every single kid in my grade can read we are gen alpha I’m 90% sure every kid in my school can read it’s not all gen alpha.
My friends ELEVEN year old sister still can’t spell or read and then she tries to bully us into doing for her! I partly blame the school system for not caring if the children cheat.
@@ShiAnniii THANK YOU FINALLY SM THAT GETS ME 😩. like I am not missing class or watching iPad kids 👧 some or MOST of us are respectful but THEY don't see that cuz we don't post or smth
I'm 12 I struggled with reading for years and then i got diagnosed with dyslexia lol I can read now tho By the way, I also own a flip phone I also think the reason That we're like 2 grades behind is because that's the amount of time that we missed in COVID Sorry for yapping :)
as a general rule alpha on the line of gen a to gen alpha, i am truly disappointed on how the earlier gen alphas don’t know their abcs. I knew them at a reasonable age and i’m concerned for this community😢
i went to La Quinta resort in palm springs for spring break, and while we were there, we ate at the mexican restaurant they have. our waiter literally was so impressed and commented on my little brother reading a book instead of being on an ipad. it made me really sad. :(
My cousin is like 3 so we can’t really see what he’ll be like. But his mum lets him do anything he wants and if there’s a problem? iPad. She’ll have him watch it in public to stop him from being active, but of course he’ll still be active because he’s 3 and understimulated. Despite me give advice they don’t listen to me and their excuse for him is ‘he’s just baby’. I am actually so worried for him and his future
This is so frustrating. If you want to give your child an iPad/tablet just make sure they have limited access to things. Like have an account for your child with certain fun educational Apps that are appropriate for the age. At least if your child is going to hang onto an iPad for hours it will now learn languages with duolingo (or more age appropriate language learning apps) or learn coding or whatever. You can make iPads a good and educational experience for children with very little effort and still have them entertained for hours.
okay but actually why in every family tree there is that one aunt or just relative who can't raise her child properly and doesn't care? its like a canon event when relatives ask you to sit with an incontrollable child without manners or understanding of personal items. why everyone has these moments?
Millenial here. Sorry for my english. The thing is, just as you said at the end, it takes a village. But there are no other children to play with my theoretical child on the streets even if my child would want to. And children nowadays shame each other for crap like not having the latest iphone. It happened to my niece, when she came home sobbing and absolutely broken. She had 13, not 14, you see. And that's the end of the world in those little devils eyes. I want to have children but I don't know what freaking island I need to move on to have them. Because I, as many other adults, am afraid that my will and determination is not enough to win over society pressure, even if I'll try harder than my own parents 10x. That's it.
I pray kids get nicer i spent all of last year alone because I had no people in my class who I wanted to befriends with, and its the same bloody thing again this year
Tbf kids have always gotten teased or bullied over not having the latest thing. My mom got teased for having generic jeans instead of like Levis when she was a teen in the late 70s. Parent are just willing shell out thousands of dollars for a brand new iphone these days for some insane reason. Vs a few hundred dollars for jeans. Which was still kinda insane mind you.
No offense but that isn't new is it? I got bullied a little bit too for not having a cellphone (admittedly a flip phone at the time) and of course bullying about money isn't new either. At least in my country, kids haven't played in the streets since I was a kid in the 2000s. You can arrange play dates (that isn't new either is it?) with other kids, they can play with kids they meet through extracurricular activities like sports or arts, they can play with your friend's kids if they have them too, or with other kids in your family (their cousins, second cousins, etc). Are these things very different where you live? It sounds just like my childhood and my parents and I had no problem "finding" kids for me to play with I'm honestly asking because now that I described it it sounds like the way it's worked for years, not just for millennial parents
I’m a gen Zalpha with a millennial mother and a gen X father: here is my viewpoint(s) with my own generation. I have to admit, I do do some gen alpha crap sometimes. Am I planning on growing from that? Absolutely. But in school life, I’m constantly surrounded by people who are tainted by the internet. My male classmates? They say skibidi toilet crap. My female classmates? Tainted by what they *think* is more mature (and maybe is), but is really just brain rot. Even my friend group has their own flaws, eg: dirty jokes, dance trends, questionable songs they sing, etc. Imo, the gen z trends are overemphasised in gen alpha due to their desire of imitating their somewhat “remarkable” role models. My parents aren’t really a problem to me. Not because they let me have an excessive amount of screen time (which they do, but they really don’t intend to and only let me because of work), but because they discipline me well. I can’t really say much since they don’t fully act like millennials though. I don’t have much more to say, so I guess this concludes my point of view.
I’m 12 and this is scary, I have a higher reading level than anyone in my class and that basically just means I know what the words query, restaurant, and acupuncture mean. I’m worried for my own generation
I’m a Gen Alpha, and sure, there is a fair share of kids in my generation who are like this, but more of the problem is that they just don’t want to learn AT ALL.
As a middle schooler in 7th grade, I can say 70% of the people at this school care about their grades to the point people cry cause they just wanna succeed! We have high averages too, we read books and we do activities! Luckily I've just always been in smart classes. Ive been in gifted and now beta club. We have averages in the 90s and me and my classmates can pick up information very quick to the point that we get a lot of free time. But I can only speak for myself and the people I know though. Not every gen alpha cant read or is slow. Ive been reading long words since I was 3, in pre-k and being babysat. Please stop adding all of us in one big group of brain rotting dummies.😶 As a 2010, i would rather be labeled as gen z cause of the constant backlash from being born in the same year as many of these outrageous trolls.
You know what, I agree with you like even gen z treats you guys like shit even though they have gone through similar backlash from the previous generations. I am gen z bty.
@@tornpapers your gonna have to learn self control and how to not follow the crowd. I've caught my self unknowingly or accidentally falling into that. Please stay out of drama cause people will fight and cuss a lot to seem older and aggressive.💀 It's not funny, cool or cute! One friend is enough but making more is cool too! Middle school is when most people are the fakest but sometimes they dont mean it or notice it but watch out. Make as many associates are you can. (People to talk too but not friends) TRUST! Be confident in yourself and be yourself, you may think you're being judged but your really not, deep down or when with friends, the "cool" people act just like you (how ever you are, someone is always gonna have the same traits😌). Do NOT, i mean DO NOT pleaseee! Dont let people pressure you into something you dont want to do, you *HAVE* to think before you speak and do!! Please omg😭. This is as much of what I can remember from 6th grade since im actually about to end 7th! I wasn't one of the wild kids looking for attention and I wasn't in drama or big stuff so I cant tell you mistakes just by some friends and enemies experiences. I was shy and all that jazz, but also the opposite at times but I still made tons of friends and associates (be urselff😙). Know your limits on things though, and don't worry, you wont need an example for that!🤗 It's not so easy to give tips though cause I'm still just a minor and I'm still processing my experiences too but I hope that little can help you a ton, it helped me a lot and 6th grade was actually my best year ever.😌 (Fyi: being lonely isn't embarrassing, people don't really care, and if they laugh its mainly they have a positive feeling for you, not crush but yk? So if your parents ever said bullies are jealous of you, it is true. It's not to make you feel better but it is lol. Sometimes not but uhm yeaa.😅) I hope you have the best 6th grade year ever! Make the most of every school year, you'll never know how it will turn out.❤️ A bad years a lesson for the next.🤗 The rest is for you to figure out and experience, BYEE!❤️😁
I am 12 years old. Gen Alpha. Born in 2012, and I love writing, drawing, math, I play the violin, I write with proper grammar and punctuation, and learned to crochet by watching UA-cam videos. I’m even in an advanced math class. *All* of my classmates know how to read. I hate it when people say that Gen Alpha is doomed cuz *I’m* in Gen Alpha and *I* along with most of my peers, are clearly not doomed. I am trying to teach my 6 year old sister to read as around 6 to 7 years old is when children *typically* start to read. It’s only the ones with bad parents and the ones too young to read that don’t know how to read.
As a (SoMeThInG) yr/o gen alpha, I just wanna say from experience: 1. We're not all stupid, don't believe everything u hear online. 2. Skibidi toilet is barely ever talked about. Only little children would like that stuff, just let them be, please. Don't u guys remember when people acted like Peppa Pig cuz they were so interested in her? 4. For the love of all things great, STOP BULLYING GEN-ALPHA ONLINE (or irl) !! We don't want to go through a depressing lonely phase again do we, like in lockdown? But I must say, those kids really need to learn to read 🤦🏾♀️
Ay, gen z here! Kid, I believe you and I believe IN you! We won't let the good part of Gen Alpha lose itself, we gotchu homies! We'll support you, so ignore the online bullies cuz they got no life anyway and keep up the good work! Try to help your fellas who may be struggling too and do not lose hope in humanity! There is still good out there, we just can't see it cuz we are fed so much negativity on the internet for the sake of clout. Let's unite and help each other, things will get better!
also as a gen alpha, I relate to this; the girls in my year (i'm not being sexist and excluding boys, i go to an all-girls t skl) have lots of potential, even back in primary school, no one i knew was stupid, everyone could read and write and do math at the standard they were supposed to) and i only ever hear about this skibidi ohio gyat rizz nonsense when i go to see my family and my very young cousins are there (and when my friends occasionally decide to mock the 'ipad kids' -_-)
my brother is early gen alpha but I would never ever call him that. he was raised like me, a gen z, he is just an average kid and I would even consider his mind of my age. but my more younger gen alpha brother is always with phone and he is only 3. and I as a older sibling try to limit his access to harmful info. I even disabled shorts for him
It’s crazy we’re shaming people for not wanting kids 💀 (also keeping in mind how messed up adoption systems are and how beneficial it would be for people to adopt)
As a 13 year old going 14 in a European country I think it's insane that the younger are getting dumber over in America and other countries because I feel like in school I get overlooked as someone as a good kid and a know it all while I'm just focused and happy to learn because exams are coming up and I don't wanna be in this stereotype of a ipad kid, yes it's okay to do what you want but realistically as children of parents it's our duty to be a child and help and love our parents, it's our duty to be a student and respect our teachers and learn, and maybe if your into a hobby/sport that has classes that's also a duty and your own choice. To be honest through covid in 2020 I felt being stuck to my phone like we all did but I'm not going to be stuck on it forever, we have hopes and dreams and that's not gonna happen in second, a minute, an hour, a day,week,month,year or till to day you die- if you don't put the work, time, and energy. While I'm just trying to be a daughter, a student, and a performer all at once, these other kids I feel are just using their parents money, resources and time just to whatever they want and it goes to no where. The Internet confuses me so much am I more mature than I should be or am I just lazy and ignorant because the Internet only puts out that's going to entertain these stereotypes & life styles into other people, yes it's okay to do skincare literally my mother reinforces me to but don't waste too much resources like money on a million different things on products that will waste, or ipad kids if there's buying games you can definitely do that but get your own money from chores, maybe from gifts. Really the best thing about getting what you want is if you worked to achieve it and that's true in my book. I know social media feels likes it's for teens and I'm not really there yet but I've been already here so I hope you don't mind having a younger audience here too
also I don't even know if I'm a gen z or a gen alpha anymore but I'd rather be associated with gen z than gen alpha =_= anyways thank you so much for your videos they are so helpful and put our reality on a podium
I agree on the entire parents money part, as a late gen z. Furthermore, education is a gift, and if you have the chance to fail it it's because you know you'll end up fine anyway, with daddy's money.....
@@RosettaLove hmmm I'm the same age as you and I'd consider myself gen z, some would call us gen alpha but with the way I grew up I wouldn't relate to them at all. More to gen z.
I share a similar experience! I had unlimited screentime, so being young, the algorithm showed me content to learn how to read and write. I ended up learning how to read before I went into preschool!
18:28 Another thing people seem to forget it exists - children's audiobooks! I was raised with a vintage record player and the old tales on vinyl of my parents. I have to say, it was the most beautiful thing! While I listened, I re-enacted what was happening in the tale either by myself or with toys, tried to memorise the words, did a puzzle while listening, etc. Now I have the ability to listen to audiobooks and do things around the house. It's a win-win-win!
I’m in 7th grade and in the advanced LA classes. About half of my class has no clue what basic parts of speech are. The amount of times people have asked my teachers what a COMMON NOUN IS!!!!!
I finished 12th std before the pandemic. The exams were hella tough and i was considered a studious child but l didnt get A+ for all subjects But during and after pandemic majority of the kids are getting above 90% for their exams. Irony is that they dont even know what they wrote in these exams when asked. Not even the BASICS!!!
I am a Gen-Alpha in India, and I fr feel so sorry for these kids in America. I feel like this problem with Gen Alpha kids is only in Western countries. Because in India all kids are serious about their school and at least study 2-3 languages. This maturity in kids here comes at 10-14 as they realize how competitive India is and how they can be left behind if they don't get to the top.
As a gen Z that was almost put into the generation of gen Alpha, uh-i love to read. There's still lots of kids out there like me that want to learn and are respectful. The children screaming about there iPads is crazy. But theres still good in the world. 😊
As a gen alpha myself, I’m at 2010 though so I’m not sure if I’m maybe gen Z, but it’s still very disappointing on how people my age or a bit younger is perceived as on the internet, I can’t believe so many spoiled and uneducated kids there are.
You’re a cusper. If you remember dvd libraries you aren’t gen alpha dw(I’m a 2011 kid and I remember dvd libraries but I’m pretty sure everyone born after me doesn’t)
What’s worst is that the kids that do learn and do keep up with learning and education, are gonna be dragged down by this. If we make the general standard lower like by lowering class “difficulty” then we’re ultimately going to end up with a very dumb society. I mean many careers cannot afford to lessen their challenge like doctors or aviation engineers etc. Many careers NEED to be challenging to weed out anyone who wouldn’t be good enough.
15:23 Goldfish can rembering things up to 3 mounts and are able to learn tricks, saying kids are like goldfishh is disresful to the goldfish. Kids are more like koalas, cute but to stupid to understand what rain is.
I think the death of creativity needs to be a video of its own (if you haven’t already). With ai and having access to so much information at our fingertips, we are all running out of creativity. We’re letting computer programs come up with ideas for us, and just conforming with the rest of society instead of being individual
Tech isn't the problem, WE are the problem. Kids are using ipads as a crutch for the fact that they aren't being influenced properly by the older generations and even gen z. When I was a kid, I looked up to so many people who valued knowledge - but who do these kids have to look up to? Any person can change the priorities of our culture from being ignorant to wanting to learn new stuff. We just have to to be better.
i'm a late gen Z in Eastern Europe and i learnt to read at 3 and write at 5. My younger brother is 6 years old and knows how to read. The west has truly fallen.
book rec: lord of the rings. it’s a masterpiece that was first read to me when I was 8, and I read it alone for the first time at 12. one of the greatest stories in the fantasy genre, in my opinion
Dang I'm 11 I read books like matilda, worlds worst children, big nate and diary of a wimpy kid is it okay or is it too childish?._. (I'm also reading David Copperfield rn)
I'm 12 years old. I dont know if I'm Gen Alpha or Gen Z. I am in seventh grade and I can read, write, I speak two languages that I can read and write in (Arabic and English). Here is my take on the problem: I believe the availability of sources like: Google, Tik Tok, UA-cam and most social media is rotting our brains. Parents are giving their children phones and iPads at a very young age. I personally don't have a phone or iPad (I use my sisters and my moms phone and the TV) . First off, people are just one click away from finding out information, So why study or learn? Tik Tok at such a young age can lower your attention span so kids just have trouble learning and focusing. Something I also noticed and personally struggle with is who my role models are. Sometimes I dont know what to follow, I like dolls and playing outside, which to kids my age sound very childish, However I like to do light makeup like: lipgloss and mascara. I hope my role model doesnt become the internet. I feel a bit embarrassed that kids my age cannot read or write. Kids also VAPE?? They talk about how they are failing a class like its FUNNY?? Kids my age are also extremely lazy, I personally do online school and I feel soo lazy doing it I'm getting out soon. The reason I dont go to a public School is because of the lack of respect the students have, The terrible education system, and the way some teachers show that they dont get paid enough, the government should pay teachers enough to actually survive without a second income (at least where I live). I think another issue is parents send their kids to school as if its to babysit them, not to learn. Kids should like school not see it as a prison. I believe kids see school as a prison because many are very privileged and its very easy to make a living off Tik Tok, UA-cam, and Instagram by making mindless content, Which the internet pushes a lot on younger audiences making them lazier.
I am a gen alpha I’m almost 12 and the internet is my role model but I believe that some influencers can be GOOD people, but the only reason the internet is my role model is that my parents aren’t good enough parents to be a role model. I’m not failing any classes and if I was I would cry I wouldn’t laugh, I do light makeup like you and I follow some trends and I do like TikTok and social media but I also like to read and journal and draw and play at the park, I also speak Arabic and English! I believe that the gen alpha can grow and improve I have not lost faith in them they can still be better before they become adults.
@@Lele.ilyouuuu Yess! I completely agree. I do all of these also, however the main problem is the internet is pushing gen Alpha's bad behavior. They are picking the wrong influencers to become their role models. I understand that some gen alpha aren't internet obsessed iPad kids or are sephora obsessed rude "influencers". I am speaking from my past experiences. I have not lost complete faith in gen alpha either but regardless its important that these problems are addressed appropriately. But please dont look to the internet as your role model as a whole it will literally deteriorate your brain! Also thankyou for sharing your experience I feel like I dont know much people my age because I do online school, so it makes it really difficult to interact with people sometimes! :)
I'm 15 and I already know damn well I'm having kids. My parents taught me to sound out letters, how to write, pronounce things, tell time, and so much more. I'm not putting all that to waste. And idk how other people in my generation learned, but you should at least know some "taking care of a toddler common sense" Yes the ipad is a distraction, but also isnt healthy for their tiny developing brains. And when I was about 2, I had my brother to read to me and play with, and a ton of toys. That's already one thing better than using an Ipad for kids entertainment. Idk what im yapping about but it makes sense. Ty
I am between gen alpha and gen Z and.. I am scared of gen alpha. Okay I am addicted but I can get out of my phone for a day or if I am with someone, I never got disrespectful at a teacher (only one time because she disrespected my mom and I got mad) and I always wished to learn more things and all.. And I know french and English at like a young age I think and I learned how to read between 5 or 4 even tho I was in school.

It’s just a different type of abuse. Instead of being overbearing, they’re being completely neglected
PS: People should look up "Signs of emotional neglect," on the internet if anyone is curious.
I'm a millenial parent who was emotionally neglected by my boomer parents. It's surprisingly common. I refuse to repeat that with my kids. My parents just bought me stuff to "keep me happy." I buy my kids the basics. They don't need too much spoiling or they start feeling entitled.
and the fact that millenial parents are now trying to be more like their kid's friends instead of an parental figure
True
Both are important. Its a balancing act. @@worstpartis20068

Same! I've been reading since as long as I remember. Books have always been a huge part of my life!

Yeah I started reading when I was like three, I cant believe it. My sisters cant even read or write very well, and their almost 10 and 8 😭

yeah, this is probably just american problem. I have two gen alpha cousins and they're really the sweetest kids. Their parents don't give them access to play the phone (only on weekends, holiday, or school to call them for transportation). When I was their age, my parents gave me a phone that's only able to call someone to pick me up from school. I didn't have advanced screen phone that my parents had the ability to buy. And I think the same way, kids should be banned from using ipad/phone until they reach mature age where they can read and filter information.
This is definitely just a problem in America. My two gen alpha cousins always go outside and play either with each other or other neighbor's kids. Sure they can sit on IPad but not 24/7 and their parents always set them time limit
I'm Indonesian, and my 6 year old cousin is smarter and has more sense of respect and responsibility than my coworker's 14 year old child raised in the US.
To make it worse, my coworker's child doesn't even know how to boil water 😶
don’t blame the kids, blame the parents for enabling this.
Also! blame the system that forces many families to sacrifice quality time for more hours/another job/overtime just to put food on the table or pay the rent
@@Beth-td6vj Well not really blame the system. Politician's incompetent is the reason why the system is shit.

I agree that it's not just iPads, but unrestricted access to them that is the problem. My siblings and I had a shared iPad growing up, but we never got more than an hr on it per day, and we played outside or with toys the rest of the time.
Growing up my sister and I shared a computer, then an iPad when we got a little older, only really having unfettered access to the internet by the time we both got our own smartphones end of middle school/early high school. The internet is unironically really great and was an incredible space for someone who is a curious minority like myself, but only if the child is given the opportunity to experience reality first.
Same my sis is gen alpha but we are from eastern europe not usa that could be why
I use to be this way, i barely used my devices unless i was putting it in the phone holder (it’s suppose to act as a tv) of my barbie doll house.
Me and my sister used our devices to record us making slime, watching movies, playing tag, or stuff on vine.
She moved out at 16, we are 5 years apart.
I was left lonely, and still now.
Shes 18 now.
I can confirm its more fun when you have someone to play with.
I lost my social skills when she left cause I no longer had a good human interaction with someone close in my age group. 😕
So i can confirm constant screentime is brain rotting and is 100% breaking our social skills.😢
It's not just that. I mean you can use an iPad to teach your child how to read or play educational games etc. Like unlimited time with an iPad if you only have access to idk kindle, a crossword game and duolingo is not going to "ruin" a kids development either.
Which is what I find so frustrating. If you decide that you want to give your kids an iPad/tablet to have a break or whatever that's fine. But you can literally control what they have access to. if you don't want to limit screen time just limit the apps/internet access. It's really not that difficult :(
I didn't get a phone until i was 12 and even then it was one of those tiny phones that are like...half the size of normal phones these days..and honestly it was more than enough

I don't think a student should be embarrassed for not knowing something, at that age it's more the parents' responsibility to make sure your child is reading at grade level.
@@once.upon.a.time.fr, to many parents think that school just has to do all the work when it comes to learning, which isn’t true parents are also a huge part when it comes to teaching their children
Instead of blaming the youth for their incompetency, how about we accept that it was our fault, incompetency, and responsibility to nurture these kids into the people we want them to be?
I agree
One of the most mature comment i ever seen. I'm sometimes babysit my cousins, and i'm having hard time apply the parenting solutions ... i ended up hitting them out of anger, and i felt so bad.

12 year old here. this video and others like it are (mostly) bs. there always was and always will be stupid kids, this is just highlighting them. my 12/13 year old peers are all very smart and can read at high levels. the "dumb" kid in my class's favorite book is animal farm. the "gen alphas can't read" thing is just fear mongering that uses examples of not so bright kids to cause fear.
here's some of the books my 12 year old friend has read (what she could quickly recall when i asked her just now):
most jane austen, lots of shakespeare, jane eyre, wuthering heights, frankenstein, dracula, 1984, never let me go, the secret history, i capture the castle, the great gatsby, the picture of dorian gray, their eyes were watching god, white teeth, sapient etc, currently reading the prince by machiavelli

my sister is gen alpha, and she's always been a worse reader than me. shes got hyperactive adhd and was diagnosed at a young age. she didnt experience all the pressure that i did and im very happy for her. but i think that pressure is the only reason that i did so well academically. i wasn't diagnosed until i was 12 so i was expected to perform as well as my peers despite having a developmental disability. i excelled academically but fell behind socially. im glad shes thriving socially, but shes definitely not as strong academically (though compared to some of these kids shes doing great)

@@Swiftie13love idk if id say its okay tbh, theres really no reason to struggle with school material they show you nothing challenging in all 12 years maybe a few concepts will be difficult for you personally but the vast majority shouldnt be challenging at all.

I'm glad for your sister! I'm a gen alpha, and I can comfirm, as long as your sister gets more then a 35 on a test (5th grade test at that..), she's better then some of my classmates.
Cool, I wasn't diagnosed until 22 and struggled with school, reading a book, learning from a book or notes, going to it, and holding a job. True, my parents didn't care much and I could do whatever I wanted, which was bad for me. I dropped out of school at 18, I wasn't really going to school at all so there was no point of continuing. Only when I got medicated, I could finish my studies.
Everyone's ADHD is different, that's that. And no, I never used social media or tiktok, so it wasn't to blame.
I have severe adhd, but wasn't diagnosed or treated until I was 20. I was always a great reader, it was all I ever wanted to do - because I didn't have electronics, and books were amazing! I think the adhd isn't the problem, it's the parents and social media...I feel so bad for gen alpha

Words of advice: Gen Alpha don’t act the way they do because of their birth year, they act like they do because of how their parents raised them. I saw a comment here saying that Gen Alpha is why they won’t become a parent, and frankly that is just absurd. If you raise your children right, they will not be disappointments, and neither will you. The real disappointments are the parents who give these kids screens at age two.
No exactly. A combination of bad parenting and a crumbling education system that values standardized testing over encouraging a love of learning and creative and critical thinking. Blaming the kids is not only insulting, hypocritical, and unproductive, but it’s flat out incorrect.
One huge problem is the fact that if you raise your kids differently they will be different to other kids and either get bullied for it or try to become like the others too.
Better to be different than to be like the rest of the mindless mob
You can raise your kids really well, but the moment they set foot in a school, it doesn't matter. They're gonna learn just as much, if not more, from their peers and teachers. And peers are a lot more influential to the kid than their parents, specially after 10.
Studies show that before age 10, that’s when parents have the most opportunity to influence their children but it’s clear that number is shrinking lower and lower very quickly due to outside influence infiltrating kids’ minds so much earlier. With kids’ #1 priority as being cool and to fit in, it’s hard mot to feel hopeless about having kids care about the right things again.
unfortunately social media has become the parents and the parents just became npcs... this was not the future i envisioned when i graduated hs 2 years ago 🤨

In Bulgaria we stress on the importance of "the first 7 years". That's because kids start school at 7, so by then you have to be taught how to behave, because that's what's going to stick.

Jesus loves you ❤ praying for you and praying for healing in all ways❤️🩹
You can’t blame a child with no guidance or maturity to know the reasoning for their actions. You just can’t really expect them to act like adults. It’s their adults that act like kids and treat their kids like friends instead of being proper mentors. Millennials are definitely becoming more and more the undisputed worse parents, and as social media obsession and lack of individuality or morality goes on, gen z are gonna be worse.
It’s well-mannered individuals against society at this point, don’t follow the crowd, because society is destructive now, it’s not of good influence like in the past, it’s the truth
In my school, the students have to work 2x as hard due to most of them speaking Arabic as a first language and english as a second (Also third language of German, Spanish, or French) and they are still doing miles better than these kids who aren't trying.

It took me years and thousands of dollars to get a degree in teaching and child psychology and my first month as a teacher made me regret it all. I quit after a year. Society is a mess, the pandemic messed up a lot of kids development and parents did not adjust well. The kids can't concentrate, their brains all desire constant stimulation through a screen, they don't want to learn unless it's fed to them as a fun tidbit of stimulation with loud sounds and bright colors. My year 5 kids were reading at a year 2 grade, the parents didn't work with their kids, and the kids didn't care (which I don't blame them, they've been conditioned into this). The teachers are getting punished by the bosses and the parents, there is a reason so many teachers are leaving. There is zero reward for teaching right now- we aren't helping kids get where they need to be, we aren't paid enough, we are working so many hours unpaid, and the schools do not support us. We can't be therapists, teachers, and parents all on a salary of 35k a year. It is physically and mentally destroying us. Society needs to change.
As a gen alpha, I agree 😞

There are actually a lot of studies that says that punishment is not actually a good thing, and in a lot of cases it makes things worse. Corporal punishment is never a good thing and can’t be considered as something educational.
Anyway i wanted to share u something that almost every teacher told us, which is to remember that children are people. I know that it sound stupid, but it always helped me. Like is not their fault if they r born after me so i’m gonna respect them. And trust that if u do this they will really became on our side during their education.

Hi! I'm one of the older Gen Alphas here and I would like to say a few things:
1. NOT all Gen Alphas are dumb and incompetent. I know this varies, but personally, the people I know and go to school with are able to complete their work to the standard required, in fact, some kids even got given more challenging work. But I really am concerned for the children in the clips, they really need to learn how to read, and ASAP (it hurts my soul to see that girl say 'bet-win' when she was asked to read the word between 😭 mainly bcs i am known by my friends for being a nerd and a bookworm etc. and i LOVE expanding my vocabulary whenever i see new words in books and tv shows 🤓)
2. _In school_ (I emphasised that as I will talk about other situations later) out of all the girls in my class, _no one_ has tantrums and shows disrespect to a teacher. (Albeit, now that I look back on it, some girls do, but they get warned of the punishment and even if they protest, sometimes they still don't listen and have to move and sit at the front of the class) Even in primary school, only a few kids had tantrums and talked back to the teacher, but that was usually because they have issues with learning as well/fast as most kids. (I apologise, but that is the most respectful way that I can think of to put it)
3. Yes, kids do have tantrums and disrespect authority. I've seen it happen at family gatherings with the younger cousins etc. I should be honest, so I will say that I have before also done that, but after watching quite a number of videos addressing this situation, I realise that the situation is still _very_ bad...
4. After seeing multiple Instagram accounts (yes i use instagram, _sadly_) which teach people good ways of parenting, to connect with their kids, teach them body positivity, consent etc, I conclude that yes, gentle parenting is a good way of parenting, but only if it's done properly. _How_ is it done _properly_? I don't know. I don't have children, so I can't give you a real answer. Sorry. But taking away that screen sometimes, restricting what can be used on the ipad, monitoring what's happening on the devices, are some places to start I guess
5. I'M SORRY BUT WHY DO LITTLE CHILDREN NEED SKINCARE (yes i'm breaking my professional formal talk for this tehe 🙃) AND YES I KNOW THAT 8-13 Y/O ARENT CONSIDERED LITTLE GIRLS BUT STILL. IM LITERALLY THE SAME AGE AS SOME OF THESE GIRLS ONLINE AND ALL I DO IS WASH MY FACE WITH BABY SOAP (i js love johnsons baby soap haha) AND PUT CETAPHIL MOISTURISER ON MY FACE (for my pimples 🥲) AND I LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE I USE ON MY FACE IS BABY LOTION AND SUNSCREEN... HAVEN AND KOTI ARE SEVEN YEARS OLDDDDDDDD THEY DONT NEED ALL THAT STUFF AND NEITHER DOES ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

a) in point 2 i mention specifically girls as i go to an all girls school, not to purposely exclude boys lol
b*i*) yes i use instagram, i do have a tiktok account but i legit havent opened the app in a year 💀 and i have youtube, thats all tho

d) i have a tendency to type rlly long comments and messages bcs i like over explaining things but also i like putting ALL of my thoughts on paper, maybe its why i talk so fast, to get all my ideas out :)

In my (English) high-school, things are looking DOWN. Currently, the entire cohort of students is in gen-z, and, quite frankly, they're basically just as bad, if not worse, than the gen-alpha kiddos.
Of course, I am the typical 'gifted' student, so maybe I am over-reacting, but not a lesson goes by where I do not feel this rage at the disrespect students can enact.
A teacher says we need to do work. One student talks when it is quiet work, then no-one can collaborate. Another does their make-up and none of it gets confiscated, because the teacher has had to deal with this so many times.
The teachers being underpaid, children being raised by the horrific side of the internet and a burnt out species contribute to this problem.
More personally, the children are mean! I hear a slur every time I walk to a new lesson, and Pride Club, who I'm an ambassador for, has gotten raided, made fun of and been the butt of multiple jokes.
I cannot imagine what it's like in the west, but I am going to be crying myself to sleep by the time I'm doing A-levels at this rate.
Anyhow, have a good day and thank you for a comment that sets me up perfectly to rant.
I read the full this, and I agree fully. But almost all the people in my class talk back to adults! 😀

Idk about the regular classes but the advanced is doing fine. We all score at above profic on the same state tests older gen zoomers and even millennials took. I score at 10.2(grade 10 month 2) on my english state tests. Although there are some really dumb kids tbh… my cousin can’t read, she’s 12 🥶 homeschooled by bad parents tho so it’s not her fault i think..
You kids are doing just fine. I'm a gen z/millenial cusper and around your age early gen z was eating tidepods and getting wheeled to the hospital. There are slow children in every age group throughout history and the older gen is always going to judge the younger one based on the least fortunate specimen they can get their hands on, its the circle of life.
Don't feel too down about it. You don't need their approval, Gen Alpha's not better or worse than the other gens. Do your own thing.
Fr tho, I'd never heard of any of this until I saw it on UA-cam. I'm a late gen z though some people would call me alpha, I can read great and everyone I've met is fine at it too.
Ay kid, we believe you. We will support Gen Alpha the best we can, so do not lose hope in humanity! There is still good out there, we gotchu homie! Stay united, regardless of the generation, and we will make this world a better place. I believe in y'all homies, you are the future of the planet and you can and will do great things! Keep up the good work!
As a a guy who is barely gen alpha, I kinda agree from personal experience that this is a bit exaggerated. However, I’ve definitely seen this kind of shit happen more and more through the years, so I think parents should still keep an eye on them
I was born on 2010 and I don't know whether I'm gen alpha or gen z. But I'm grateful to my mom for teaching me alphabets and not giving me an IPad, ever. I'm now acknowledged by my English teacher and get straight A's in English. I may have full on gen z humor but once again, I'm thankful that I never turned out like whatever the heck happened to these kids. Horrible parenting 0 out of 10 would not recommend.
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk lol
2010 - 2012 is Zalpha, so both Gen Z and Gen Alpha. I was always pretty good at math but as for Reading and Writing I wouldn’t say I am below grade level as I do make the marks. This issue for me being better at math than reading is that as of now is our school basically grades our reading and summaries based off of completion and not accuracy 9 times out of 10 for regular and honors classes. So I get As in English too but at a cost of not improving myself and it doesn’t prepare me for the future. As nice as it is to get an A on my report card, it’s at the cost of not actually growing and I feel like that’s not that big of an issue with math classes because they ACTUALLY teach you what’s going to be on the SAT, ACT, other exams and it actually helps prepare you and expand your knowledge (well despite homework being for completion). Also they made the AP Lang exam slightly easier but that still concerns me a little…
I was born in early 2010, raised by gen X parents. I get called lazy when I relax for more than a day, and as a child I was highly encouraged to go outside, rain or shine. I love to read and while I have plenty of classmates that are capable and independent when It comes to their studies, there are definitely a few classmates who just lack the motivation and interest to learn new things in school. I pride myself in being decently smart, but I also struggle with spelling, I always have. I am fluent in reading and I'm ready to learn and correct my mistakes. Most of the time, the problem within schools is young students don't have the motivation to grow, learn and adapt to the world outside their screens.
The issue is absolutely not the students lacking motivation. The issue is that school as an institution gives little incentive to have motivation in the first place and is so focused on teaching standardized testing that creating an environment that actually nurtures their minds is neglected.
Arts programs are being cut, recess is being cut, even social studies is being cut in a lot of public school systems. Anything that made school fun or interesting or easier to manage is slowly being picked away at, and even if you haven’t seen it happen where you live, I promise it’s happening.
Good, accessible education simply isn’t considered important to enough of our lawmakers. One of the major American political parties actively advocates for cutting funding for the Department of Education. How can all kids possibly be enthusiastic about learning when they live in a society that refuses to value it?
Kids don’t come out hating learning. They don’t start life unmotivated to do anything outside of a screen. They are conditioned and raised that way by an education system that discourages critical thinking and creative initiative then criticizes them when they consequently fall behind.
You seem very well spoken, intelligent, and I applaud your drive. I’m glad that you have seemed to find a love of learning, but I’m so tired of people blaming the kids instead of the systems that they are raised in. There’s a lot of reasons kids might lack motivation. We just need to be empathetic and attentive enough to understand them.

For me it wasn’t like this. When I was Little my parents gave me an iPad, but I didn’t want it. I played with my toys and went outside. My screentime wasn’t more than 1 hour. Although I watched Mickey and doc mc.Stuffins in the morning and at night. When I did play with my iPad I, I was watching English stuff ( I am Romanian ) and that’s how I learnt to speak English. Without school and textbooks, just 2 girls playing with her Anna and Elsa dolls. So I guess the ipad can be be a valuable too, when used right.
I'm 12, I don't use make-up, I can read,and I dont use the gen-a words(unlike my classmates).
I don't know if I'm gen-a or gen-z, but I am sure stuck in the 80s-00s and I love it :D
And I did have a flip phone :]

Lucky😭 (btw you are a gen Z❤)
For real girl, I'm in middle school and only learned what Sephora was this year and reading is one of my favorite things to do
i wish i was you!!!! i do the same except for having a flip phone/using the radio but goodness i wish i could do that. the thing about the radio in my country is that it doesn't really talk about things the news does and it's not what i normally like to listen to, so i can't do that. the flip phone is because i can't afford one haha-
You’re “zalpha” so you can choose if you identify with gen z or gen alpha
I had a flip phone until I was like 17 actually, I didn't really need an iPhone as I already had an iPod touch throughout middle and high school.

i went to La Quinta resort in palm springs for spring break, and while we were there, we ate at the mexican restaurant they have. our waiter literally was so impressed and commented on my little brother reading a book instead of being on an ipad. it made me really sad. :(
My cousin is like 3 so we can’t really see what he’ll be like. But his mum lets him do anything he wants and if there’s a problem? iPad. She’ll have him watch it in public to stop him from being active, but of course he’ll still be active because he’s 3 and understimulated. Despite me give advice they don’t listen to me and their excuse for him is ‘he’s just baby’. I am actually so worried for him and his future
This is so frustrating. If you want to give your child an iPad/tablet just make sure they have limited access to things. Like have an account for your child with certain fun educational Apps that are appropriate for the age. At least if your child is going to hang onto an iPad for hours it will now learn languages with duolingo (or more age appropriate language learning apps) or learn coding or whatever.
You can make iPads a good and educational experience for children with very little effort and still have them entertained for hours.
okay but actually why in every family tree there is that one aunt or just relative who can't raise her child properly and doesn't care? its like a canon event when relatives ask you to sit with an incontrollable child without manners or understanding of personal items. why everyone has these moments?

This is why you don't repeat what adults are saying.
@@TheDoctorGD imagine what the kid does when he grows up
Millenial here. Sorry for my english.
The thing is, just as you said at the end, it takes a village. But there are no other children to play with my theoretical child on the streets even if my child would want to. And children nowadays shame each other for crap like not having the latest iphone. It happened to my niece, when she came home sobbing and absolutely broken. She had 13, not 14, you see. And that's the end of the world in those little devils eyes.
I want to have children but I don't know what freaking island I need to move on to have them. Because I, as many other adults, am afraid that my will and determination is not enough to win over society pressure, even if I'll try harder than my own parents 10x. That's it.
I pray kids get nicer i spent all of last year alone because I had no people in my class who I wanted to befriends with, and its the same bloody thing again this year
Tbf kids have always gotten teased or bullied over not having the latest thing. My mom got teased for having generic jeans instead of like Levis when she was a teen in the late 70s.
Parent are just willing shell out thousands of dollars for a brand new iphone these days for some insane reason. Vs a few hundred dollars for jeans. Which was still kinda insane mind you.
Your english is perfect.
No offense but that isn't new is it? I got bullied a little bit too for not having a cellphone (admittedly a flip phone at the time) and of course bullying about money isn't new either. At least in my country, kids haven't played in the streets since I was a kid in the 2000s. You can arrange play dates (that isn't new either is it?) with other kids, they can play with kids they meet through extracurricular activities like sports or arts, they can play with your friend's kids if they have them too, or with other kids in your family (their cousins, second cousins, etc). Are these things very different where you live? It sounds just like my childhood and my parents and I had no problem "finding" kids for me to play with
I'm honestly asking because now that I described it it sounds like the way it's worked for years, not just for millennial parents
I’m a gen Zalpha with a millennial mother and a gen X father: here is my viewpoint(s) with my own generation.
I have to admit, I do do some gen alpha crap sometimes. Am I planning on growing from that? Absolutely. But in school life, I’m constantly surrounded by people who are tainted by the internet. My male classmates? They say skibidi toilet crap. My female classmates? Tainted by what they *think* is more mature (and maybe is), but is really just brain rot. Even my friend group has their own flaws, eg: dirty jokes, dance trends, questionable songs they sing, etc. Imo, the gen z trends are overemphasised in gen alpha due to their desire of imitating their somewhat “remarkable” role models.
My parents aren’t really a problem to me. Not because they let me have an excessive amount of screen time (which they do, but they really don’t intend to and only let me because of work), but because they discipline me well. I can’t really say much since they don’t fully act like millennials though.
I don’t have much more to say, so I guess this concludes my point of view.
I’m 12 and this is scary, I have a higher reading level than anyone in my class and that basically just means I know what the words query, restaurant, and acupuncture mean. I’m worried for my own generation
English is my second language, what does query mean ?

Im a 7th grader, and my classmates are CRAZY, and it’s really difficult to deal with.
I'm a 8th grader and same the kids are crazy
I’m a Gen Alpha, and sure, there is a fair share of kids in my generation who are like this, but more of the problem is that they just don’t want to learn AT ALL.
As a middle schooler in 7th grade, I can say 70% of the people at this school care about their grades to the point people cry cause they just wanna succeed!
We have high averages too, we read books and we do activities!
Luckily I've just always been in smart classes.
Ive been in gifted and now beta club.
We have averages in the 90s and me and my classmates can pick up information very quick to the point that we get a lot of free time.
But I can only speak for myself and the people I know though.
Not every gen alpha cant read or is slow.
Ive been reading long words since I was 3, in pre-k and being babysat.
Please stop adding all of us in one big group of brain rotting dummies.😶
As a 2010, i would rather be labeled as gen z cause of the constant backlash from being born in the same year as many of these outrageous trolls.

One friend is enough but making more is cool too! Middle school is when most people are the fakest but sometimes they dont mean it or notice it but watch out.
Make as many associates are you can. (People to talk too but not friends) TRUST! Be confident in yourself and be yourself, you may think you're being judged but your really not, deep down or when with friends, the "cool" people act just like you (how ever you are, someone is always gonna have the same traits😌).
Do NOT, i mean DO NOT pleaseee! Dont let people pressure you into something you dont want to do, you *HAVE* to think before you speak and do!!
Please omg😭.
This is as much of what I can remember from 6th grade since im actually about to end 7th! I wasn't one of the wild kids looking for attention and I wasn't in drama or big stuff so I cant tell you mistakes just by some friends and enemies experiences. I was shy and all that jazz, but also the opposite at times but I still made tons of friends and associates (be urselff😙). Know your limits on things though, and don't worry, you wont need an example for that!🤗
It's not so easy to give tips though cause I'm still just a minor and I'm still processing my experiences too but I hope that little can help you a ton, it helped me a lot and 6th grade was actually my best year ever.😌
(Fyi: being lonely isn't embarrassing, people don't really care, and if they laugh its mainly they have a positive feeling for you, not crush but yk? So if your parents ever said bullies are jealous of you, it is true. It's not to make you feel better but it is lol. Sometimes not but uhm yeaa.😅)
I hope you have the best 6th grade year ever! Make the most of every school year, you'll never know how it will turn out.❤️

I am 12 years old. Gen Alpha. Born in 2012, and I love writing, drawing, math, I play the violin, I write with proper grammar and punctuation, and learned to crochet by watching UA-cam videos. I’m even in an advanced math class. *All* of my classmates know how to read. I hate it when people say that Gen Alpha is doomed cuz *I’m* in Gen Alpha and *I* along with most of my peers, are clearly not doomed. I am trying to teach my 6 year old sister to read as around 6 to 7 years old is when children *typically* start to read. It’s only the ones with bad parents and the ones too young to read that don’t know how to read.
As a (SoMeThInG) yr/o gen alpha, I just wanna say from experience:
1. We're not all stupid, don't believe everything u hear online.
2. Skibidi toilet is barely ever talked about. Only little children would like that stuff, just let them be, please. Don't u guys remember when people acted like Peppa Pig cuz they were so interested in her?
4. For the love of all things great, STOP BULLYING GEN-ALPHA ONLINE (or irl) !! We don't want to go through a depressing lonely phase again do we, like in lockdown?

my brother is early gen alpha but I would never ever call him that. he was raised like me, a gen z, he is just an average kid and I would even consider his mind of my age. but my more younger gen alpha brother is always with phone and he is only 3. and I as a older sibling try to limit his access to harmful info. I even disabled shorts for him
It’s crazy we’re shaming people for not wanting kids 💀 (also keeping in mind how messed up adoption systems are and how beneficial it would be for people to adopt)
As a 13 year old going 14 in a European country I think it's insane that the younger are getting dumber over in America and other countries because I feel like in school I get overlooked as someone as a good kid and a know it all while I'm just focused and happy to learn because exams are coming up and I don't wanna be in this stereotype of a ipad kid, yes it's okay to do what you want but realistically as children of parents it's our duty to be a child and help and love our parents, it's our duty to be a student and respect our teachers and learn, and maybe if your into a hobby/sport that has classes that's also a duty and your own choice. To be honest through covid in 2020 I felt being stuck to my phone like we all did but I'm not going to be stuck on it forever, we have hopes and dreams and that's not gonna happen in second, a minute, an hour, a day,week,month,year or till to day you die- if you don't put the work, time, and energy. While I'm just trying to be a daughter, a student, and a performer all at once, these other kids I feel are just using their parents money, resources and time just to whatever they want and it goes to no where. The Internet confuses me so much am I more mature than I should be or am I just lazy and ignorant because the Internet only puts out that's going to entertain these stereotypes & life styles into other people, yes it's okay to do skincare literally my mother reinforces me to but don't waste too much resources like money on a million different things on products that will waste, or ipad kids if there's buying games you can definitely do that but get your own money from chores, maybe from gifts. Really the best thing about getting what you want is if you worked to achieve it and that's true in my book. I know social media feels likes it's for teens and I'm not really there yet but I've been already here so I hope you don't mind having a younger audience here too
also I don't even know if I'm a gen z or a gen alpha anymore but I'd rather be associated with gen z than gen alpha =_= anyways thank you so much for your videos they are so helpful and put our reality on a podium

What’s worst is that the kids that do learn and do keep up with learning and education, are gonna be dragged down by this. If we make the general standard lower like by lowering class “difficulty” then we’re ultimately going to end up with a very dumb society.
I mean many careers cannot afford to lessen their challenge like doctors or aviation engineers etc. Many careers NEED to be challenging to weed out anyone who wouldn’t be good enough.

Goldfish can rembering things up to 3 mounts and are able to learn tricks, saying kids are like goldfishh is disresful to the goldfish. Kids are more like koalas, cute but to stupid to understand what rain is.
I think the death of creativity needs to be a video of its own (if you haven’t already). With ai and having access to so much information at our fingertips, we are all running out of creativity. We’re letting computer programs come up with ideas for us, and just conforming with the rest of society instead of being individual
Tech isn't the problem, WE are the problem. Kids are using ipads as a crutch for the fact that they aren't being influenced properly by the older generations and even gen z. When I was a kid, I looked up to so many people who valued knowledge - but who do these kids have to look up to? Any person can change the priorities of our culture from being ignorant to wanting to learn new stuff. We just have to to be better.

I'm 12 years old. I dont know if I'm Gen Alpha or Gen Z. I am in seventh grade and I can read, write, I speak two languages that I can read and write in (Arabic and English).
Here is my take on the problem:
I believe the availability of sources like: Google, Tik Tok, UA-cam and most social media is rotting our brains. Parents are giving their children phones and iPads at a very young age. I personally don't have a phone or iPad (I use my sisters and my moms phone and the TV) . First off, people are just one click away from finding out information, So why study or learn? Tik Tok at such a young age can lower your attention span so kids just have trouble learning and focusing. Something I also noticed and personally struggle with is who my role models are. Sometimes I dont know what to follow, I like dolls and playing outside, which to kids my age sound very childish, However I like to do light makeup like: lipgloss and mascara. I hope my role model doesnt become the internet. I feel a bit embarrassed that kids my age cannot read or write. Kids also VAPE?? They talk about how they are failing a class like its FUNNY??
Kids my age are also extremely lazy, I personally do online school and I feel soo lazy doing it I'm getting out soon. The reason I dont go to a public School is because of the lack of respect the students have, The terrible education system, and the way some teachers show that they dont get paid enough, the government should pay teachers enough to actually survive without a second income (at least where I live). I think another issue is parents send their kids to school as if its to babysit them, not to learn. Kids should like school not see it as a prison. I believe kids see school as a prison because many are very privileged and its very easy to make a living off Tik Tok, UA-cam, and Instagram by making mindless content, Which the internet pushes a lot on younger audiences making them lazier.
I am a gen alpha I’m almost 12 and the internet is my role model but I believe that some influencers can be GOOD people, but the only reason the internet is my role model is that my parents aren’t good enough parents to be a role model. I’m not failing any classes and if I was I would cry I wouldn’t laugh, I do light makeup like you and I follow some trends and I do like TikTok and social media but I also like to read and journal and draw and play at the park, I also speak Arabic and English! I believe that the gen alpha can grow and improve I have not lost faith in them they can still be better before they become adults.
@@Lele.ilyouuuu Yess! I completely agree. I do all of these also, however the main problem is the internet is pushing gen Alpha's bad behavior. They are picking the wrong influencers to become their role models. I understand that some gen alpha aren't internet obsessed iPad kids or are sephora obsessed rude "influencers". I am speaking from my past experiences. I have not lost complete faith in gen alpha either but regardless its important that these problems are addressed appropriately. But please dont look to the internet as your role model as a whole it will literally deteriorate your brain! Also thankyou for sharing your experience I feel like I dont know much people my age because I do online school, so it makes it really difficult to interact with people sometimes! :)
Parents need to teach critical thinking and avoid giving them instant gratification. Without those how can they function in life honestly.
You have very good taste in fashion. I always think your outfits are outstanding. Really elegant. ✨
I'm 15 and I already know damn well I'm having kids. My parents taught me to sound out letters, how to write, pronounce things, tell time, and so much more. I'm not putting all that to waste. And idk how other people in my generation learned, but you should at least know some "taking care of a toddler common sense" Yes the ipad is a distraction, but also isnt healthy for their tiny developing brains. And when I was about 2, I had my brother to read to me and play with, and a ton of toys. That's already one thing better than using an Ipad for kids entertainment. Idk what im yapping about but it makes sense. Ty
I am between gen alpha and gen Z and.. I am scared of gen alpha. Okay I am addicted but I can get out of my phone for a day or if I am with someone, I never got disrespectful at a teacher (only one time because she disrespected my mom and I got mad) and I always wished to learn more things and all..
And I know french and English at like a young age I think and I learned how to read between 5 or 4 even tho I was in school.
Yeah, being stereotyped must be very annoying, especially when your smart
As a gen alpha who can read im very disappointed in my generation
