As I have made abundantly clear, I cannot get on board with coddle culture or new-age parenting. New-age parenting has effectively created a society of young adults who cannot come to terms with reality because they have been coddled their entire lives. But it’s all they have ever known. College campuses are full of students who don’t have any idea what hard work is and they walk around actively pursuing victimization, as oxymoronic as that seems. Not only do I not support coddle culture, but I also speak out against it. However, what I do support is coddle-cultured kids entering the real world. When these kids are met with reality and forced to leave the made-up world they’ve been living in, I predict they will develop more conservative principles. All it will take is their past and all its beliefs crashing down around them as they get hit with a tidal wave of reality.
Gen Z has taken to TikTok to speak out about facing reality, and after listening to what some of them have to say, I stan Gen Z. Take 25-year-old Alison Johnson (@fitnesswithalison), who lamented her marketing degree since it’s gotten her absolutely nowhere in corporate America. Where it has gotten her is $80,000 in the hole of student loan debt. On top of that, she’s discovered she doesn’t stand a chance of landing a job that pays $150,000 because the degree, as it turns out, isn’t enough. She doesn’t have any experience, as is required by all jobs in that pay range. Watch HERE.
