Gee, I wonder how much the taxpayer paid for this bit of breaking news.

and less interested in working hard than the baby boomers were in their teens
Why wouldn't they be interested in busting their butts day in and day out and having less to show for it when they get home at the end of the day?

>>>Young people admit they are lazy and they say that it is their parents fault. Learned from Obama blaming the republics. Blaming is the new standard eliminating accountability & responsiblity

What a stupid study. Parents hand their kids everything, don’t require them to work and then wonder why they are lazy. And by the way, it ain’t just teenagers. A lot of adults are lazy bums who would rather have a handout than work for what they want. Each generation gets a little more lazy until we get to the point where everyone expects a handout and no one is willing to work go support all the moochers.

I’m sick and tired of this BS! This boomer has a daughter who graduates HS in two weeks with Honors, works 30 plus hours per week and received a full 4 year scholarship to a Private College majoring in Science and Math! Kiss my hard working baby boomer butt!!!

I think you can lay this at the feet of the public school system that has worked really hard over the last 20 to 30 years in undermining the old values of hard work and selflessness.
Kids spend the majority of their waking hours learning crap from progresso-lib-commies and we now have proof that it has been seeping into their brains.
Thank you Bill Ayers, you are quite a guy.

As a college student cutting grass and shoveling shit for a groundskeeping contractor, I'll add this. Every year several kids (either high school or college) get hired, and every year they get fired. They are so freaking lazy I can't believe it. The pay is above minimum wage but that doesn't seem to factor in to their thinking. All they care about is 'waa its hot outside, waaa I don't want to touch that, waaa I have blisters, waa waa waaaaaa'. Can't keep off their damn phones, can't keep off their damn asses. They only guys getting retained are older people who can't find any other job what with Obama's economy.
Pathetic pampered brats.

Today’s young adults are the reason I still have a job. Back when I started working, they got rid of guys my age and hired kids for 1/2 as much knowing they’d work hard.
So, I guess I win, sort of.

One thing I notice about teens these days is that they don’t have any desire to acquire marketable skills needed to survive.

Oh wow... what a shocking and unexpected discovery!!!
(NOT)
I had a teacher many years ago that had drawn a conclusion - each subsequent generation in our nation’s history has grown weaker.
He wasn’t trying to say that there weren’t still “good kids” coming up... just that as an overall average, each generation is weaker - At the time, I really didn’t grasp what he was saying. Having spent 14 years in public schools as a teacher, and now 5 years in full-time ministry, I completely see what he was talking about.
Each generation has it “easier” from a materialistic point of view. And as the materialistic side increases, the moral side declines - which by nature removes responsibility and reason from the equation.

I actually agree somewhat with this. MY brother’s 2 sons are a perfect example. The other night I went to their for dinner and my brother asked them to do something and they put up quite a fuss. It is partly their own fault because they give them everthing when they were small they did not set limits on them. My mother used when she would babysit and they had the nerve to complain about it. As she tried to tell them; you have to establish boundries and set limits from the time they are small.

Having coached high school baseball for three seasons, a lot of the kids wanted to be police or fireman. But that could be from those related curricula and that ball players occasionally tend to be jocks.
