We are the recession youths
You know who you are; you struggle, but you work and you’re paid but still you struggle.
The price is too high, the wage too low. Feels like the 40’S; the government- career politicians; never having experienced the REAL world. You know the one; yeah that’s right a world outside of private education; oxford Cambridge and the high society. I’m talking about our world, my world, YOUR world. The governments chop and change, new leaders are elected the policies ALL controversial. All right. All wrong. The United Kingdom is in a mess and it seems like it’s never going to change. We are the recession youths a generation of teenagers and young people growing up under the blissful ignorance of false prosperieity and hope. Only to emerge into of world of greed and unfairness, we have been bred into a generation of government haters and who can blame us. 
We were brainwashed by the schooling system that college was the way (this was only enforced by the government to keep their unemployment figures down) so some of us went to college, some didn’t. Those that did soon discovered that it had all been a waste of their time because there are no jobs or careers available to young people in Britain; perhaps a slight exaggeration but not far from the truth. A large proportion of those that skipped college and did manage to find a job experienced debt, redundancy and liquidation. Everything is expensive, car insurance is too high, and fuel is ridiculous. How are we supposed to get on the ladder in life’ let alone the bloody property ladder. Roll on the generation of renting because how many young people can save a £40,000 deposit?

However whether you hate the money wasting labour party, the cutback Tories or the lying liberals. WE WILL FIGHT through this age of struggle, we will be the wise and rise we will, and when we do emerge from the darkness and through into the light we will be smarter, more capable more independent and as a generation, we will make sure it never has to be this way again.
