We are called a Lost Generation because we are struggling in record numbers to find work, leave home, and start a family. In fact it’s no secret that it’s normal to find a 30 plus male today still living with his parents. Thus our critics are quick to label us as a lost generation, something that I struggle to comprehend. It’s fair to say that my generation of young people has been affected by the difficult economic situation of the present time. Unemployment levels have skyrocketed and funding for our university education is being cut.
But are we actually as bad as the society brands us to be or is this just another attempt to cover the society’s own fallacies and loopholes?.
