what would it be? What is the biggest problem or fault that our generation possesses? (millennials)

This is a very intriguing question that is hard to answer even after putting a lot of thought into it. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually believe that the greatest fault our generation possesses is the inability to have fun. Really. Just hear me out. We've grown up in the generation of political correctness, alarmism, and conformity. There is no longer any time to really just be a kid or have fun. Whereas kids in the 1990s and preceding generations did fun, stupid things all of the time and got in trouble growing up, our generation doesn't know how to do the same, and in a certain way, can't. Nowadays the schools will take away your license, you'll get sued, colleges won't accept you, etc. In fact, back to college. It seems like from the moment kids enter preschool, all their parents, teachers, and everyone is telling them about is college, college, college. They have to do perfect. They have to think about the future while they're children. They have to behave. They have to play their cards right so they can go to college. Kids can no longer be kids. Adulthood is starting earlier and earlier. This I believe is our generation's greatest fault. I long for the days of the 1990s and before where kids could virtually do whatever they wanted without so much pressure or repercussions, when kids could really be kids. Nowadays you can't even beat up a bully or you'll get suspended, lawsuits waged against you, your license revoked, a media outrage, and colleges won't accept you. It's ridiculous.
