I don't get this new generation of youngsters

In spite of so many things in life that I have to understand in order to not feel racist or learn as a fact of life...

...I don't understand why a youngster will go on a party if their grandma whose close to him/her died and wanted to have a moment of sympathy.

I give them a sympathy but I don't know whether they were asking it fer real or not.

In this world, no matter how much you wanna fix things, they'll tell you you're a freak, and yet they themselves just...go on partying and tell their grandma died at that time.

Are you sure I was the freak in this world?

Maybe you are just feeling bad cos she didn't ask you to come party with her.

Did you know that I got a reply from her and says I'm insulting her for saying she goes on a party when your grandma died?

I already gave my condolences at that time. It's just that...it's a weird thing to ask for sympathy AND party at the same minute, hour, and day when she said it happens...

I did the same thing when my Grandmother died. 24 hrs later I went to a party with all my friends, it helps to take your mind off of your grief. People deal with loss in different ways, we are not all the same.

"Deaths in the Bible. God - 2,270,365

not including the victims of Noah's flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, or the

many plagues, famines, fiery serpents, etc because no specific numbers

were given. Satan - 10."

Maybe the way she deals with her feelings is different from yours.

Maybe she doesn't share the same ideals and superficial show and tell in order to make people understand how she feels?

I mean who makes these rules about how we should act and feel when someone passes away anyway?

I gave her the sympathy in an SMS message only to realize that at that same time I send her the message she was in a party nightout indicated in her photos she gave me.

The next few days she said her grandma already got buried.

I just can't comprehend her asking situation. Is it lying or is it just a natural youngster's habit?

Its a changing world, I certainly think and act way different than than my children did as they were growing up. If the teenagers are not close with their grand parents or even parent they are not going to grieve, this go's for adults to. I see nothing wrong with a teenager not being forced to go to his grand parents funeral or going out with friends, this could be their way of grieving, who knows, teenagers are a wonderful but strange species these days. I think they are a great part of our growth in society.

I am always excited to go to sleep! In anticipation of the new experience I will find awaiting me.

It has nothing to do with the generation, it is more to do with the individual. I know assholes from the older generation who did things I consider unforgivable at a funeral for a loved one.

over-reacted. Sorry!

I am assuming that a grandparent passed away and one of the youngsters did not show grief as you had expected them to. Is that correct?
