I've been listening to this song a lot lately and it really disturbs me. I think it says a lot about kids today, or maybe I'm just getting old and sentimental. I don't remember shit like this going on when I was younger.

youth of the nation by P.O.D.

Last day of the rest of my life.
I wish I would have known, 'cause I didn't kiss my Mama goodbye.
I didn't tell her that I loved her, how much I care.
Or thank my Pop's for all the talks and all the wisdom he shared.
Unaware, I just did what I always do.
Everyday the same routine before I skate off to school.
But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest.
Instead of taking a test, I took two to the chest.
Call me blind, but I didn't see it coming.
Everybody was running, but couldn't hear nothing except gun blasts.
It happened so fast, I didn't really know this kid, though I sit by him in class.
Maybe this kid was reaching out for love, or maybe for moment he forgot who he was.
Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged, whatever it was I know its because...
We are, we are, we are the youth of the nation.
We are, we are, we are the youth of the nation.
We are, we are, we are the youth of the nation.
We are, we are, we are the youth of the nation.
Little Suzy, she was only twelve.
She was given the world with every chance to excel.
Hang with the boys and all hear stories they tell.
She might act kind of proud, but no respect for herself.
She finds love in all the wrong places, the same situations, just different faces.
Changed up her pace since her daddy left her.
Too bad he never told her she deserved much better.
Johnny boy always played the fool.
He broke all the rules so you would think he was cool.
He was never really one of the guys, no matter how hard he tried at the thought of suicide.
It's kind of hard when you ain't got no friends.
He put his life to and end, they might remember him then.
You cross the line and there's no turning back.
Told the world how he felt with the sound of a GAT.
We are, we are, we are the youth of the nation.
We are, we are, we are the youth of the nation.
We are, we are, we are the youth of the nation.
We are, we are, we are the youth of the nation.
Who's to blame for the lives that tragedy's claim.
No matter what you say it don't take away the pain that I feel inside.
I'm tired of all the lies, don't nobody know why it's the blind leading the blind.
Guess that's the way that the story goes.
Will it ever make sense? Somebody's gotta know.
There's gotta be more to life than this.
There's gotta be more to everything I thought exists.
We are, we are, we are the youth of the nation.
We are, we are, we are the youth of the nation.
We are, we are, we are the youth of the nation.
We are, we are, we are the youth of the nation.

I personally dislike the song, find it overplayed, annoying and the chorus is just plain irritating.

And if Vinny is calling something whiny, it must be bad.

Never heard the song, and from the reviews I am reading, I don't wanna hear it.

Im only 24, and I think the only reason kids today are miserable is because they are constantly being told that they're misserable. What is so bad about a kids life nowadays, I went through my parents divorce back when it was a small percentage of couples splitting. And Im not complaining. Today most kids have computers, video games, cd, mp3 and dvd players, vcrs and all sorts of other shit. How can you be bored and depressed. Parents go out of their way to make their kids happy, and its never enough. I say stop whining and go out and be a kid. Play sports, listen to music, watch movies have fun.
