Future...

You how it's said that young people are, "Too young to be tired" or "Too young to have such aches and pains." Is that really true? I don't think so. I'm 18 and many days I feel like I'm 18 going on 45. My feet hurt, my back constantly aches, and some days I'd like to amputate my knees. Were children 30 and 40 years ago just more tolerant? Are kids my age now just softer? I mean, I know that children now have so much more handed to them . They don't have to use their imaginations anymore; why when you can just play your Nintendo DSi or Wii?

It kind of makes me wonder what my kids will and most importantly won't have to do. Written homework? Nah. From what I hear, they won't even know how to write in cursive. Many schools are in the process of cutting that from their course of study because "it won't be needed" in years to go.

I really feel old when I say, "What is the world coming to?"
