Greenwashing gone rampant.
World going to shit with terrorism, war, natural disasters. (mind you, this stuff happens every decade, but damn it started badly!)
People getting stupider. Related to that, reality TV and pop culture making it 'cool to be stupid'.
Consumerism and greed coming back to 1980's levels (along with some of the fashions, gah!), and boy did that turn out well..... (must... suppress... socialist... tendencies....that... doesn't.. work...either.....ahhhh!!)
My parents splitting up and my dad going all weird. (He's fine now though, and has a partner who is the best thing I think has ever happened to him).
Not being a teenager anymore and having to grow up and be a responsible adult (it sucks!)
Loosing two friends in car accidents.
Consumer items being so 'must have' that even old people and six year olds have the latest phone, ipod, console, PC or big screen TV....unless you're poor / uncool / can't be bothered. I still listen to CD's, I have a four year old phone and three year old cheap-ass crap computer and we still have CRT TV's in our house. Also, we have never had console of any kind in our house...ever. I'll be a nerd and stick with my books, thankyou. People looking down at you for that...ugh, why should you care? (!) (We're getting a set-top box to get digital TV soon, that's a step at least).
Finishing school. I never ever thought I'd miss it. But it was better than being an unemployed uni student, or being in the workforce for that matter. :?
