I realized we all complain alot. Workload, health, stress etc. The thought just crossed my mind that we are a generation with increasing suicide rate.

Why?

In my oppinion, this is caused by a few things but in general, I think that we´ve been having too much fun. Entertainment is part of our very beeings, playing around in early age untill we reach a higher education or start working. Many people realize that life could be rather stressing and demanding after a few months.
Well, it would prove one thing that todays youths can´t stand a little pressure. Ofcourse there are exceptions everywhere, probably more so than thoose that actually fall under this siege of mind.
I´m just making a point here, that more people from my generation as well as younger generations are not used to this.

My oppinion about this wouldn´t be appriciated.
I think we are having too much fun in daily life.
Not saying that we should go around beeing sad all the time but we must get used to the feeling of having a responsibility, that we have to overcome obsticles.
We are definatley not ment to have fun all the time, becouse the feeling of happiness subsides eventually and it´s very hard to appriciate things if you can´t grasp unhappy moments.

I know, I´m not the ideal teacher of this but writing about it, makes me realize where we are going as a generation.
