Our generation dreams of a long happy life with a lot of material things.

Our generation are the so called Millenials kids, we are like latchkey kids and children to baby boomers and generation X. We millenials are kind of isolated because we stay connected electronically. We don´t send letters anymore like the baby boomers and generation X did. And we don´t socialise as much anymore, we play or hang out through our computers. While the baby boomers live to work and reward themselves with material things,our generation have an urge to buy the latest things to stay modern. 

What´s unique for our generation is the amount of knowledge needed for our everyday life for example we need to know how computers work and other technical things.

Today we have a more stressful environment, modern workplaces require more education and we have to strive for the top all the time because we are never satisfied with the thing we got. We want to be economic independent and have a successful career. Our generation dreams of a long happy life with a lot of material things.

Take care of a summer cat that has been thrown away

We are from the millennia's, also named the generation Y. Apart from the technical revolution we live in a whole different world than 50 or 100years ago. We have totally different values. In our society we no longer treat women different from men, or at least we're trying not to. We keep the environmental problems close our heart, we read about them every morning in the newspapers and discuss them in school. A life without cellphones and internet is not imaginable for us. We are aware of our rights, and prepared to fight for them. Love and sex is something we choose, not something we get pushed into. And we love our friends as much as we love our parents. And of course we appreciate and respect the ones how gave us birth but we want to make our own rules.
How we feel, if were sad, to happy or lonely is important.

We like to think that we are depressed if we feel sad more than ones a year. The teachers like to think that we have aggression problems if we raise our voice or feel angry ones. The mental issues are growing or maybe it’s taken more seriously in these days.

Environmental problems will mint us until someone fixes them, until we start acting  totally different. And that salvation is so far away that were not going to experience it.

Our dream is to some day see a change so big that the millennia’s will get remembered in history. And it is to prevent mental issues, make the Middle east democratic, or save the polar bears. For us it would be okay if only we made a sad face happy, made a hungry child full or take care of a summer cat that’s get thrown away and left alone on the street. Every little change makes the world a better place, and if everyone made this little change, maybe the whole world would smile one day.

We are more spoiled than earlier generations

We are more spoiled than earlier generations, we have more technology, we have access to a lot of information, about anything, trough internet compared to earlier generations. We are more aware about what is going on in the world and we know it´s a global world.

What's unique with our generationsis that we have more  technology. We take things for granted. We are good at multitasking and we know our own worth.

We have to deal with the environmental problems, global warming, war, and so on.

Our dreams for the future are:
Louise-I want to be a healthy person and have a good life+ travel to Japan
Harald -he does not know what his dream is, he wants to help.
Anna-Travel, get a good job
Linda- Have a good job, travel the world.

The youths in Europe today know that EU make Europe smaller, we can travel, work and study in other EU countries without much trouble.

Our parents help us with everything, and are “curling-parents”

We think that it’s easier to live in our generation, because we have more resources than previous generations.

We have internet, and are more used to technology.

Our parents help us with everything, and are “curling-parents”. Because of that we doesn’t have the chance to learn from our mistakes.

4. We think that some our generations hopes and dreams are to stop the wars and the pollution in the world. Young people that finished school strives to become rich.

5. Here in Sweden we have less to worry about than in other countries.

Every generation is unique!

Our generation is more relaxed in the way of living. For example we don’t get as stressed out by the technology as maybe the Baby boomers, because we grew up with it and are used to it. Maybe it’s easier to learn Generation X about todays technology than it is to learn the Baby boomers, because they’re older and grew up with the paper and pen, and not a computer. It’s harder to learn an old dog sit than a middle aged dog!

Every generation is unique, ‘cause they all bring something new. Baby boomers where the law-followers, Generation X where the rebels and Millennials are more modern, relaxed and are the ones who rewrite the rules.

/Louise and Leo

Our parents lived to work, but we work to live

Our parents lived to work, but we work to live. We like to enjoy our spare time and we are quite obsessed with technology. The babyboomers they are getting used to this new technology based lifestyle.

We often multitask and that might affect the quality of our work, but we honestly don't care because our main priorities include being our friends and sitting by the computer.

We are really lazy and that is something we need to improve. We believe that we are less lazy than the Americans.

We want to be wealthy.
