I'm a member of the Homeland Generation (2005). Ask me anything.

What traits have you noticed between yourself and younger peers vs millennials? I always enjoyed comparing my peers born in the mid-late 90’s with my two older brothers who were born in the 1980’s.

Thank you for the question! Most of my online friends are older than me, so I'll refer to those when referring to Millennials. They're either in late high school or college.

They're all honest and hardworking, and striving to be better people. They're also very understanding. I think those kinds of people are capable of winning a war.

As for 13 and 14 year olds I'm friend with, its hard to tell. I guess value kindness and acceptance. Something interesting I did notice is that we have lower self esteem. Most people with depression I've met are my age. Especially guys. I'm casually self-depreciating, like other Homelanders, but am annoyed when people are so much so to the point where its annoying. But I also think we're less likely to be triggered by tragic events? I saw more Millennials tell people to stop with the WWIII memes because its scaring them on Twitter. I don't mind dark jokes/memes as much as my Millennial peers unless they're ACTUALLY hurting people.

Millennials seem very optimistic from my experience, but again, are triggered by whats happening in the world around them. A lot of Homelanders are pessimists, but there are realists too.

We admire our Millennial friends very much. We trust them with decisions and believe they know best. Meanwhile I've seen Millennials admire other Millennials in the same way.

The people I've seen the most passionate about LGBTQ rights, climate change, gun rights, fires, politics, etc are Zillennials. College Millennials don't bring them up. I think the current issue I'm the most worried about AND is the most important is climate change. Even my 9-year-old sister is passionate about saving the Earth. Me and my friends really like Bernie Sanders.
