The Sad Truth

The Sad Truth About The World Today

Hey Boys and Girls, You’ve Been Dealt a Messed-Up Hand — But You’re Not Alone 💔🔥

Let’s be real: if you’re a teen girl growing up today, you’re already carrying more weight on your shoulders than you ever should have had to. And it’s not your fault. The truth is, past generations, especially the ones in power, have seriously messed things up for you. In big ways. In ways that affect your future, your money, your freedom, and even the air you breathe.

1. They Knew About Global Warming. And Ignored It.

Long before you were born, scientists were warning governments about global warming. But instead of taking action? Most leaders and corporations just kept burning more fossil fuels, polluting the planet, and brushing off the consequences. Now, you’re the one facing climate disasters, rising sea levels, and unstable weather — not them.

2. They Filled the Earth — and Your Future — With Pollution.

Plastic oceans, toxic air, microplastics in our bloodstreams, and water that’s sometimes not even safe to drink. The people before us built a “modern” world without thinking about what they were leaving behind. Spoiler alert: they left a mess. Now it’s on your generation to clean up after them.

3. They Enslaved You to a Debt You Didn’t Choose.

Did you know you were basically born into debt? National debt has ballooned into the trillions, and you didn’t spend a dime of it. You didn’t vote for it. But guess what? You’ll be paying the interest for the rest of your life through taxes and inflation. That’s not freedom. That’s financial chains wrapped around your future.

4. They Wasted Trillions on Wars That Had Nothing to Do With You.

  • Gulf War I & II? Billions.
  • Afghanistan? Two decades of spending and destruction.
  • Ukraine? More billions, and counting.

Imagine if just a fraction of that money had gone into education, healthcare, mental health services, or affordable housing. But nope. Your future earnings are paying for tanks and bombs used in wars that never protected you.

5. They Spend Billions “Defending” a Country That Was Never Attacked.

Most of the defense budget doesn’t even go to defending people — it goes to weapons contracts, lobbying, and military bases in other countries. All while schools crumble, hospitals are understaffed, and students (like you) are drowning in anxiety about your futures.

6. They Devalued the Currency While the Rich Got Filthy Richer.

Every time they “print money” to fix their own problems, your money becomes worth less. Groceries cost more. Rent goes up. Pay stays the same. The wealth gap widens. The ultra-rich? They’re on yachts, buying space rockets. You? You’re told to work harder and be grateful.


So What Can You Do About It? 💪

  1. Speak out — your voice matters more than ever.
  2. Stay informed — knowledge is power.
  3. Support each other — you’re not alone in this.
  4. Challenge the system — voting, organizing, creating change, all of it counts.

You didn’t make this mess. But you have the power to rise above it, together with millions of other girls who are just as sick of the lies, waste, and injustice. You are not powerless. You are not voiceless. You’re the generation that could actually fix this — if the world listens.

And we’re listening. ❤️‍🔥
