Generation F*cked: How Britain is Eating Its Young

This piece is mainly about how the UK is neglecting its young and focusing only on the older generation. Adults, parents, have placed their children under excessive amounts of surveillance, only to observe disgustedly from a distance.

It's almost as if consumerism has swallowed the minds of middle class parents, urging them to spend all of their money on their own comfort and to purge even the earth of all of its resources, to a certain extent. Yet it has also swallowed the youth, for it is no longer mainly those who live in poverty who wreak havoc among and throughout society by means of crime and chaos; it is the the children of those who have money, who can afford to buy their children what their greedy, twisted little hearts desire. These children, the youth, lack nothing physically. It is a lack of morals that runs rampant in the UK...but why does it even matter? Because this isn't just something that the UK deals with--it's something that we're dealing with here in the States.

Corporate America is eating everyone alive. And we don't even realize it.
