He gets good grades, stays out of trouble, is kind to others, and works extremely hard for BASEBALL. He is an overall good person. More positive than negative. But he is very much part of this lazy generation. He is too often "all about me" and is largely incompetent when it comes to things outside of school and baseball. It's going to take a lot more than kindness for him to navigate successfully through life.

Change the pronoun and sport and you are describing ME as a senior in HS. I think it's more an age/maturity thing than generational. (and also I noticed in the absence of my sport in my mid-20's, the same competitive drive transferred to work/projects/etc. Maybe "drive" has finite levels?)

Too bad there aren't archived internet boards of the the previous generation saying the same things about US. I'm guessing they thought we were losers too
