*"You're too young to be this tired."* They say this around grimaces that are supposed to be smiles, and eyes that are silently screaming because they know that they have effectively and efficiently ruined our lives. ******* millennials are ruining this country."* They say this around clenched fists that are holding on to things like prejudice and injustice that they refuse to acknowledge is their own doing. *"It's not our faults; we're suffering, too."* We're not saying this; we're screaming it at the top of our lungs, but it's falling to deaf ears. No matter how many statistics, no matter how many news stories, no matter how many debts, no matter how many deaths, no matter how many accounts of pain we try and try and try to show them, they refuse to acknowledge it. *"We've messed up, but so have you."*
