If you were born in the 2000s, you are called the oh-ohs. The 21st century would make you young, creative, and of course smart. Maybe good-looking, too. Right But what do other people think about your generation(一代)
Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the” face-down generation” because you use your phone so much. They wonder how you will do with school, friends, and family. Are today’s teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies(自拍)to be successful in real life.
Other adults worry that todays youth are spoilt（溺爱）and don’t want to face the difficulties of adult life. Many children born in the 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents” .They were always there to guide their children with a busy life filled with homework and after-school activities such as dancing, drawing or spotrs.

They seem to be willing to be leaders. More young people, than ever volunteer to help their communities.There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafeai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school.
So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you do GR8（ great）and LOL（laugh out loud）.
