The painful truth is (undeniable / dawning) that (most / many) young people won't own their own house, have a stable job or raise a family. They've been brought up (expecting / taught) by generations that lived lives that were much more similar to their own parents'. The future, now (bleaker, / reality,) looks like it can't keep its promises. What (anger / shame) will fill the void?
Gen X, so slightly in the middle, watching this unfold.
