Generation ALPHA: Navigating Unhealthy Obsessions and Toxic Trends

[A Former User]

It’s become increasingly apparent, whether through TikTok trends or news reports, that Gen ALPHA is facing some concerning trends. These young individuals, aged 4 to 14, seem to be excessively fixated on technology, foregoing outdoor activities. Moreover, they’re diving headfirst into makeup and skincare routines, often resorting to harsh chemicals and acids, inadvertently damaging their naturally soft, youthful skin in pursuit of an elusive notion of beauty.

Adding to these worrying tendencies, there’s a disturbing trend emerging around Stanley cups. These seemingly innocent items have become objects of obsession to the point where some children are willing to resort to physical altercations, causing harm to others just to obtain them. Moreover, there are alarming reports circulating suggesting that these cups might even be hazardous, as indicated in a video by Anna Oop, Insider edition, and Salem Tovar…

As we witness these concerning developments, it’s imperative for us, as members of Gen Z, to recognize the challenges ahead and step up to address them. We must strive to foster healthier attitudes towards technology, promote self-care practices that prioritize overall well-being over superficial standards of beauty, and discourage harmful behaviors driven by materialistic desires. Our collective actions and advocacy can pave the way for a brighter future for the generations to come.

TL;DR: Gen ALPHA kids are overly reliant on technology, obsessed with makeup and skincare, and dangerously fixated on Stanley cups, risking harm to themselves and others. It’s up to Gen Z to recognize these trends and advocate for healthier behaviors and attitudes.

PS: Clearly, No offence to any gen alpha who actually own Stanley cups or has a decent skincare.

@保志久美 You know what? You are 100% right, Gen Z’ers are too obsessed with video games, skipping math exams and other bunch of stuff.

@保志久美 Personally, I don’t think the Sephora Kids and Stanley Cup issues isn’t exactly the children’s fault. While yes these kids are the ones causing the problems, it’s super important to recognize they are after all, just kids.

I’ve noticed many people have been making fun of children in makeup stores (Including Gen Z). Through my eyes, it’s wrong. As us, the older generations shouldn’t be making fun of it. Yes what they’re doing is reeking havoc, we have to consider that they wouldn’t be there had they had the right influences. People aren’t born with a personality and habit, they pick up on them. The other day I was at Target and saw the sweetest 10 year old who asked me what skincare products I used. She was there with her parents and was super careful with everything in the makeup isle.

Gen Alpha isn’t the kindest, but they were raised with internet, which is mostly full of Gen Z. We are influencing them. Older siblings these years are horrible influences who teach their younger siblings to be rude and disrespectful (Guilty of that myself sometimes). Whether we don’t mean for them to pick up on it, we have to know to control ourselves around kids.

Of course the future of the world doesn’t rest upon people older, it’s all depends on the parent. I’ve noticed parents of disrespectful kids are snobby and lazy parents or they just aren’t around as much as they should. No matter how little you are, the absence of having a responsible parental figure will lead you to act out. I noticed you said they’re obsessed with technology, which I 100% agree with. But if you really think about it, they wouldn’t be if they had screen time rules enforced by the parents. No kid will be obsessed with something they can’t have access to. I think it’s important that we recognize that these kids are just trying their best to fit in, so rather than making fun of them and saying they’re in the wrong, we should be helping them know right and wrong.

This was longer than what I was originally gonna write but more to say kept popping into my head. And I hope you don’t think I’m being rude, maybe I am, but I was just hoping to shine some light and give these kids the benefit of the doubt. I do agree that this is unhealthy and something should be said. No kid should obsess over these kind of things.

I just think that they put harmful chemicals on their face before the age of 7- It just seems a bit crazy, But I can’t control that so I just let em’ be
