Young people, all too often, find their interests overlooked and their voices ignored.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I tend to focus on young people and on giving a voice to groups of people who don't normally get their voices heard.
People think that young people don't care about things, but I think they do care; they just aren't super interested in conforming to what older people think are the right way to do things.
I get a little cranky with the whole business about kids not having attention spans. This reminds me of the usual business of thinking that the next generation is hopeless. Every generation has said that about every younger generation.
Young people are so often dissed by the media.
I think television often has dismissed younger people. They figure, well, they're not really watching news, that's not our audience.
Sometimes, people can be extraordinarily judgmental and closed-minded to anyone different or special, which is why it's so hard for young people in this day and age to be comfortable enough in their own skin to not listen to the people picking on them.
There was a time when young people respected learning and literature and now they don't.
The Twenties have this sort of attitude where you never know what's around the corner.
Youngsters are the most discerning audience. They want entertainment, they want issues.
Young people understand the world. They should be listened to on matters of politics and world organization. But they know nothing of their own lives.
