My Timed Entry
Right now I am in my teens (18) and am definitely not experiencing youth as they say. After school, I come back home to use my phone for hours and during holida...
Well stand up to her about it don't let her tell you that your stupid just because you were born in 2007, because first of all the generation your born into doesn't determine your intelligence, so you're not stupid. Secondly I know that SOME kids from that generation are very immature and make bad decisions but that's not because the generation they were made up from, it's actually the environment they grew up in and the way they were raised that reflects on how they act.
P.S your sister is acting ignorant!
ReplyI’ll give you my honest opinion. I’m not an expert, but just a regular guy like you. I’ve never been made fun of because of being born into Gen Z. I was born on the year of 2000. But I do have different friends and other close ones who’ve been made fun of because of the generation that they are born into and they handled it differently, ending up with different outcomes/results.
But I can tell you that I’ve been made fun of for many things in my life and I still get made fun of for many things. One e.g. is since I’m from South India, I’m not black (no offense to anyone here), but I’m dark. And for some reason, I’m even darker than my family members. So, I get made fun of because of my color both by family, those who are close to me, and by complete strangers.
One time, since I’m dark just like I mentioned above, I kind of have that look of a middle eastern person. So, this guy who claimed to be my friend was like, “Are you a terrorist?” And He just continuously made fun of me and “roasted” me because he thought I was a terrorist or someone dangerous. Another time, I was made fun of because someone claimed I ate rats in India.
And even now, I translate at my church right now and people make fun of my posture, translation, etc. all the time. Every time I go up to the stage, there’s always a few people who has that look of disgust and just want to make fun of me and they just criticize and make fun of me at the end of the sermon. So, here’s how to approach all this trouble: There are a few reasons that I believe that cause people to make fun of you. 1. They don’t know the whole truth. 2. You are better than them in some things. 3. They can’t find something else to do.
Since she’s your sister, obviously you cannot change that fact. You are going to keep hearing it from her every single day. But when that happens, think of all the positive things that happen in your life. You can glad about the parents you have, the sister even though she makes fun of you, you still have a sibling when many kids desire for a sibling, but they are the only ones, etc. Just try to think what’s great about everything around you. When she starts making fun of you, let your mind wander. If there’s a specific genre of stories that you like, let your mind into that genre. For e.g.; when people make fun of me, since I like fantasy, I just let my mind wander into great stories of dragons, beasts, wars, tragedy, etc. Another thing is that try keeping silence. The thing with people who make fun of others is that they like the feeling that they get when others react. So, when she makes fun of you, just don’t respond and just do your own thing. Don’t provoke her. Don’t fight her. Let her talk. After a while when she sees that you are not responding, she’ll just calm down.
Here’s another solution. Dude, it’s not your fault that you are born into the Gen Z. You did not decide what Gen you wanted to be born in. So, her claims and making fun of you doesn’t make any sense. Just think about it that way. And remember that she’s making fun of you because you are better than her at something. You might think that you are not, and you don’t see it, but she sees that you are better at something that she’s supposed to be better at.
My final solution, if you are a believer in God, trust in Him. There’s always a plan and purpose that God has for everything. If you are not a believer, then try to follow the above words.
P.S: Thank You for reading all this and sorry for the long response. Hope it helps. And good luck. 😊😊😊
Replymy brother iis the same he verbally hurts me but you just have to tell someone if it be your parents or someone close to you a friend a teacher maybe hope it gets better.
ReplyI don't think that its even worth it to be hurt over. I think that you should be more hurt over the fact that your sister is being so ignorant and cold. Not only that, it's stupid. There are many people who are in your generation who do stupid things but that is because they're kids. You guys are allowed to do some stupid things because you're allowed to be children. Every generation does stupid things, it's just that technology is more prevalent now and you're being put on blast on the internet for the things that are done by people your age. I was born in '99. I'm that weird generation, where I'm not technically a millennial, but I don't consider myself to be gen z. I think the whole thing is just stupid anyway. Basically, my advise is to ignore it. She sounds stupid for degrading you based on the year you were born. She's probably not much older than you anyways and unless she was born in the 80's and just acts extremely childish for her age, she's probably gen z too.
