1. We're Uneducated and Ignorant

Millennials are told we're stupid, naïve, and ignorant all the time, usually when we're speaking out against the majority. The funny thing is that this is also the generation who gets made fun of for going to college and getting buried in debt in the first place.

2. They All Have a Sense of Entitlement

You know what, this one might be true – because, since the moment we were born, all we've heard is that the world is ours and we can have anything we want. Know who told us that? Our parents, our teachers, our mentors – people older than us. From other generations. Oops.

3. That We Know Nothing about Being Working Professionals

We don't. We can't get jobs with our expensive college degrees. Everyone wants experience, you see, but they don't want to hire us so we can get experience in the first place. It's a shame experience doesn't grow on trees.

4. We Know Nothing about Working at All

We're often told that we do nothing. We work for nothing. We know nothing about hard work. That's a pretty crappy thing to say to anyone, and also, it's not true.

5. So There's No Way We Can Hold onto a Job

That's probably also why everyone tells us to get off our lazy asses and go work at McDonald's or something, I don't know.

6. We Depend Too Much on Our Parents

We do, some of us. And we hate it. Do you think any young adult has ever wanted to move back in with her/his parents?

7. We'll Never Be Independent

We hate hearing this because we fear it. Millennials crave independence. The majority of us don't want to be dependent on anyone.

8. We Won't Grow up

The thing is, we're trying. All the time. We're trying to grow and learn and be better – but growing is a process, you know.

9. We Want It All Now

There are millennials who want it all, right now. They want everything at this moment. They're impatient. The thing is, this is often combined with the assumption that none of us are willing to work for anything, and so the vicious circle just continues.

10. We're Too Difficult to Deal with

We are. So are older generations. Everyone's difficult to deal with when no one tries to understand each other.

11. We Make the Older Generations Feel Anxious

The older generations make us feel anxious, too. I mean, this is the world you guys left us, after all.

12. We're Self-involved

I can't actually argue with this. Some of us are self-involved. However, we're also involved with the world at large. I mean, there are high school students – high school students! – taking videos of the moment when they tell someone else they're beautiful. That's gorgeous.

13. We're Obsessed with Social Media

We are. This is how we communicate. You can laugh, but we get shit done on social media. Yes, there's a lot of fake social media advocating that never goes anywhere, but there are also people getting serious shit done.

14. We're Making Everyone else Poor

Are we, though? Again, this is the world we were given.

15. We're Not Buying Anything Because We're Broke

Oh. Maybe this is how we're making everyone else poor. SORRY WE DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY!

16. We Don't Respect Tradition

We do. We respect the traditions that make sense for us. When traditions don't make sense for us, guess what we do? We make new traditions.

17. We Know Nothing about Money

It's because we don't have any.

18. We're the Lost Generation

Boo on you, I don't see Ernest Hemingway sitting here.

19. We're Rookies at Life

We are. Everyone is. No one's an expert at life. But we're learning, baby.

Are there any stereotypes or stigmas attached to your generation that you absolutely hate?
