they are very different from the boomers.

Boomers were rebellious, but these kids are even less connected to the establishment than being rebellious because they were never connected to the institutions their parents or grandparents rebelled against.


Most kids have both parents at work or divorced parents, so the family is more an abstraction than reality, and our government policies have decreased service and opportunites for these kids.

They aren't as likely to protest but neither can they be shamed or browbeaten into submission. If they see no value in an institution or relationship, they will simply abandon it, just as their parents have largely abandoned them.
