Many millennials claim they are suffering from 'quarter life crisis'

Oh boy. We are going to need more safe places, coloring books, and stuffed animals.

From Vice:

It’s hard to think of a better time to be alive than when you’re 24. You ideally have just two things to worry about: getting drunk and having sex. But the dream of your 20s can only last so long, and soon it gives way to a much darker nightmare—the quarter-life crisis.

It’s happened to just about everyone: You’re zipping through your early 20s—content to intern for free and subsist on a diet of PBR and saltines—when, suddenly, you turn 25. Without warning, existential panic sets in as you realize that you need a job, you need a boyfriend, and you need to get your mattress off the bedroom floor.

Just about everyone over 25 has had some version of the quarter-life crisis: Some are funny, some are disturbing, and some are complete disasters. We’ve rounded up a few of the craziest quarter-life crisis tales we could find, to help you feel a little bit better about your own.

From the beginning, I was taught that we are each responsible for our destiny, that we shouldn't expect someone else to save or do for us, but it was a passive message, if we are good we will be saved. I think the great leap forward came with the responsibility of each individual to read and interpret the Bible for themselves. This turned us into active pursuers of our own salvation and, of particular earthly relevance, our betterment.

Far and away the most important two things I was taught were unqualified respect for others, and personal responsibility. I was taught never ever to blame anything or anybody for whatever happens to me, that I alone made my own destiny and luck. I was literally belted on my behind whenever I broke these rules but otherwise I was given incredible freedom to do anything I wanted.


That is no longer the case. Too many kids are not taught that with freedom comes responsibility, except in the most innocuous and meaningless ways. Small wonder that so many students today have a sense of entitlement. That inner drive for personal responsibility for one's self improvement that was a defining characteristic is being lost.

This generation of kids has been coddled like none before, yet also has been manipulated with fervent leftist narratives about injustice. They have no experience nor understanding of what it means to protest against real injustice, so they revert to the form of protesting as a fashion statement.
