why is this viewed as a new idea? every generation thought they were better/smarter than the last.
what i see today, is that parents are largely absent from their kids lives more than ever. between jobs and their own social life, kids are taking a backseat in life. so i don't know where this self entitlement comes from. if anything, its the media, the school, the government telling these kids, go to school, do well and you'll be able to achieve anything you want. which is obviously untrue. even worse than that is the celebrity culture in the US, kids see these celebs making millions for doing what looks fun, and who doesn't want to get rich doing just fun stuff? when they find out life doesn't work like that and that you are generally stuck doing a shitty mundane job for an average (at best) pay, where would the motivation come form to work hard?

You didn't read the article obviously. It is getting worse the study said.
As a person older then you. I see parents are all over their kids. They know where there kids are 24/7. My parents had no clue where I was or what I was doing.
And the last part confirms it. You confused fantasy with reality and now why work hard? Because you now grew up a bit and realized that it takes hard work. Just a thought.
