10. Both of my sons
fall squarely in that category, they are 19 and 21. Thankfully I raised them differently and although they do do many of the same things as the kids in these articles they do think for themselves. They know I am there whenever they need but I encouraged them to strike out and make their lives. The amusing thing to me is that I did it against a lot of social pressure. It caused me a lot of questioning of my own judgement. I think there are a lot of kids out there just like mine. They always question and learn and decide for themselves what is right. So yes, I would say there is hope for the future. The older I get and the more people I meet working on the things I work on I find that I was not alone in using my own judgement and producing young adults who are creative thinkers and who question authority. They just are not making the same press the others are. Not yet anyway.
