I believe I'm 1 of maybe 5 kids in my grade who could change the oil in their car. I have 337 kids in my graduation class so through my quick calculations, 20 out of the 1350 kids at my school know how to change their oil.

Yet, there are kids driving BMWs, camaros, mustangs(NEW), Mercedes, and even fully restored classic cars. I've heard kids complain about the car their parents bought them or the fact that they have to drive their family's old car.

I want to say society will keep trending upwards and things will only get better but I can't see how. Nobody in my generation has tangible skills or any sort of desire to do anything with life. They just want to constantly party and have fun but don't want to work for it.

I just don't know...
