A Rant: everyones getting married but you

I agree, these people make us singles seem like we are some divine purpose or something, when the reality is that we got handed shit cards in life, nothing more, nothing less.

 

I look at it this way: Being single is like not having a car, or some other valued possession. Waiting out on this shit isn't going to help anyone, plain and simple.

 

I think you're taking it out of proportion. There are plenty of young people in their 20s with a solid financial structure, as well as a happy relationship. I've seen it myself. Just stop trying to sugar coat things to make us feel better, it only hurts us in the end by blinding us with lies. Trouble me no more.

 

I swear on my mom and dad's life I am not trolling. OK? You are making overgeneralizations, period. My grandparents got together at 16 freaking years of age, my current friend and 17 years of age, and I know plenty of couples with no kids that are doing just fine together, both financially and relationship wise. I know because I visit them once in a while. So don't tell me that we don't have it figured out in out 20s, some may not, but don't make generalizations and put us in the same category. Also, don't forget the 2008 recession which is responsible for kids not leaving the house til late 20s. You are not looking at the bigger picture bro, like real world examples.

 

It's a lot better to just accept the fact that we got handed shit cards in life and need to improve life from here on, not wait til we are 30 something years old or something. This is what I am getting at.

 

According to real world examples, it's a generalization. But you're right, life was very different back then, people got together at a younger age and did many things at a much younger age, due to a better economy, etc. Now, with this crapy economy, people live with their parent til 26 years of age, are single thoughout their 20s, etc. Do you honestly call this normal? Let's face it: Our generation has degraded drastically as a whole. Why the hell do you think suicide rates, especially males, are so much higher now than ever, as well as drug addiction? This is not normal and something has to change. It's not normal to wait til 30 to have sex or get in a relationship. It's not normal to still be living with your parents at 26. It's not normal to still be a virgin at 26. You get my drift? This generation is seriously f*&$# up and it needs to change. Those who are in happy relationships now should consider themselves lucky. We cannot let this generation go down the shit hole.

 

And you sitting here and telling 20 something year old people that this is all ok is PART of the freaking problem. Therefore, you are part of the problem.

 

So you're saying that we should all just shack up and not wait until we're financially secure and end up in a whole bunch of debt and have babies at such a young age where you're brain isn't fully developed, where you wouldn't be able to take care of the baby properly? Nothing's wrong with losing your virginity in your thirties.

 

I don't need no nap, I'm perfectly fine. I just see things how they are and work on it from there.

 

Come to think of it, you're absolutely right, high divorce rates are found in all age brackets. Also, the "young and have your life ahead of you and twenties are just extended childhood" wagon you mentioned is the biggest trap ever. Thanks for pointing that trap out. It sure doesn't encourage young "kids" to improve their life, that's for sure.
