Partly Upbringing. Partly Individual Mindset. Partly Society’s Silence.

Partly Upbringing
No rightful family would raise a child to believe that showing up late, doing the bare minimum, or treating time like a joke is acceptable.
When someone dares to behave like that in public, it reflects one of two things: either poor upbringing, or a family that has no clue how to guide its own generation.

Worse, some parents defend this lack of discipline — continuing to back their kids in all the wrong ways.
That’s love done wrongly, and it ends up spoiling an entire generation.

Partly Individual Mindset
If someone doesn't care how their actions affect others, it’s not just immaturity — it’s selfishness.
It’s the mindset of someone who demands freedom but refuses to carry responsibility.

Let’s be honest: if you can’t even show up on time, you’re not ready for anything bigger in life.
Not leadership. Not trust. Not opportunity.

Partly Society’s Apathy
We see the problem. We talk about it. We rant online.
But do we actually correct it? Rarely.

We let it slide - “Not my problem.”

Every generation that isn’t corrected becomes everyone’s burden later.
And when reality finally steps in — it won’t be gentle. It won’t be kind.

Given the choice, I’ll take the hard path.
If they can’t even show basic discipline, there’s no need for them to continue their internship.
Fail them. Let them find a replacement placement elsewhere.
If they can’t, let them extend their graduation by another semester.

Their parents seem rich enough to back them — let them enjoy the extra time.
Some lessons only sink in when comfort is disrupted.

There’s one category that’s often overlooked by society — the Cusper Generations. These are people born on the edge of two generations, often called “cuspers.” They tend to carry traits from both sides — the one before and the one after.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

**Cusper Name**	**Birth Years**	**Current Age (2025)**	**Between**
------------------------------- -	------------------	----------------------------	--------------------------------
**Silents–Boomers Cusp**	1943–1949	76–82 years old	Silent Generation ↔ Baby Boomers
**Generation Jones**	1955–1965	60–70 years old	Baby Boomers ↔ Gen X
**Xennials**	1977–1983	42–48 years old	Gen X ↔ Millennials
**Zillennials**	1992–1998	27–33 years old	Millennials ↔ Gen Z
**Zoomers–Alphas Cusp**	2010–2015	10–15 years old	Gen Z ↔ Gen Alpha

From what I’ve observed so far, these cuspers are highly adaptive — they’re fluid like water. They blend in. They shift. They adjust. They can relate to the generation before them and connect easily with the one that comes after.

It’s like they’re made for in-between spaces — not fully one, not fully the other, but capable of understanding both.
