RE: Why Millennials
'why is the previous generation so eager to abandon their children?'
is that true?
Or did you hear about it on CNN?

I do not believe that is true universally, no, and CNN is the last source I would trust. The fact is though, every culture and society around the world is affected by role-models. The most prominent and ideally present of which should be the parents. In the absence of parents, at least some positive role-model. Society these days seem to revolve around the individual instead of society or community, so naturally the next generation will be affected. But where are the role-models? Parents?
The internet has become the role-model of Millenials and who can blame them for searching for a role-model? Unfortunately, as we know the internet is toxic. Where are the parents, guardians or role-models that want the perfect next-generation?
I believe I was fortunate and raised well. But there are many who are not and as we know from Feminism, a small group can make a large group look foolish.
as we know the internet is toxic.
Check your assumptions.
Is TV toxic? Are movies? Are books?
Well yes actually. Once again, I am not generalising, but is '50 shades of gray' not toxic? Is some of the BS media spreads not toxic? The difference is that books and TV as a platform is targeted at specific groups. That is why age restrictions exist.
The internet is still a very new medium that is unfiltered and available to everyone. A 5 year old has no filter online. Please do not misunderstand. The internet as a medium is amazing and should be free and unfiltered.. To ADULTS.
