'One student recently pushed me to the limit of my stupidity tolerance': Professor declares this generation at an all-time low after recent conversation, and it’s hard to disagree

Is this generation really the worst? In a now-viral story, a professor shared that while he usually tries to keep an open mind with his students as they're young and have limited life experience—but one particular conversation left him convinced that today's generation has officially hit a new low.

But if we're being honest, every generation has its cringey moments. Gen Z may have influencers, but millennials had their MySpace profiles, and Boomers? Well, let's just say we all have our share of generational quirks. The difference is that this generation just happens to have way better documentation of their wildest lows. From social media oversharing and wild TikTok challenges to the endless chase for likes and followers, it's not hard to see why some people think the bar is at an all-time low. This professor had been holding back judgment—until this moment finally broke him. 

So, has this generation truly hit rock bottom, or are we just seeing more of the drama thanks to social media? Either way, this professor's story gives us all something to think about—and maybe even get a good laugh out it.
