I don’t believe that our generation are slackers but there are some who do just bludge and do nothing with their life. There is a lot to consider, the environment they are brought up in, and the way the parents raise there children and the crowds we fall in to.
Back in your generation you had a wider range of jobs and more positions to fill. Now we have little job opportunities and are not paid enough to work in the first place. As for myself I hold a managerial role and am still attending school. So I don’t consider myself a lazy slacker and the reason I hold such a high position is because of my parents and the environment they created for me. Sure our generation is spoilt with technology and hand outs from Centrelink but some of us actually work for our money and don’t accept hand outs.
As an Australian Gen Y citizen I have a career goal of becoming a successful police officer and am not going to get that job sitting on my butt watching the television.
So I believe your stereotypical comment to be correct in some ways and degrading to some who are trying to get ahead in life and become something and not just another statistic.
Some teenagers are forced to stay with their parents and not move out and if you don’t have to support yourself yet, why would you move. After finishing Higher school certificate most don’t want to go looking for work and that’s where you article is correct but I’m sure after a year of hard work you don’t want to do get in it again.
I’m not one of the slackers but there are defiantly some giving us a bad name.

I agree with everything except for the last paragraph, the one about teenagers being "forced' to stay at home. It is a choice they make. You could say that they (the parents) are indirectly forcing the teens to stay home by not teaching them the proper skills needed to exist. What you get then is a group of morons who can't do simple things like stack the dishwasher. This is the people Captain Capitalism is talking about.
