Depressing things I’ve heard Gen Z kids say
As written by a Gen Z kid
- I don’t even care anymore
- How many jobs do you think I can get on a middle school education
- Fuck the school
- I’m just going to be homeless when I’m older
- I’ll never find a job
- What if I don’t get into college
- I can’t wait until we go up to the high school and get out of this hell hole
- What if I’m accidentally outed
- I’m running on anxiety and spite
- Presenting gives me anxiety
- I actually cried over this last night
- Some days I don’t want to exist at all
- I’m going to go home and cry
- I’m going to go bald at 14 from stress
- Somebody just stab me
Generation Z kids are here, and we are very, very afraid for our futures.
• honestly i’m just gonna die before i get my assignments done
• good future? who is she? never heard of her.
• (in response to the question “what’s your dream job?”) professional dead person 🤙
- “I hope I turn into a blueberry, it means I don’t have to finish high school”
- “how much does it cost to be dead for a living?”
- “you know, i really didn’t think i’d make it this far in life but this body just keeps on tickin doesnt it??”
- “im gonna die before finals. or die during finals. either’s good but id rather die before”
- “she has my consent to kill me”
- “i wish death upon me”
- Teacher: “3 means tri. And that’s what you all need to do, you need to try. And 2 means di.” Like 5 different kids: “I want to die.”
- “If I die, can I get an A on the test?”
gen z doesnt fear death, we embrace it
- “Don’t worry, we’re all going to die. Hopefully, soon and painlessly.”
- “What more does the world need to end? I’m ready for it to end. C’MON, WORLD!”
- “You can always throw yourself in front of a car… A little painful, tho.”
- “I give up.”
- What’s your problem? “If I only had one problem I would be happy.”
- There’s no way you’re having so many problems at your age. “Not only I have, but I can see the ones I’ll have when I’m your age.”
- “I’m not in the mood for existing today.”
- “I HAVE FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHY THE MATH CLASSROOM IS ON THE HIGHEST FLOOR!!!!” “Why’s it on the top floor?” “So we can jump out the window and die!”
- “I hate myself” “You shouldn’t do that, but same”
- “To quote our fabulous overlord Gerard Way, ‘When I grow up I want to be nothing at all’”
- “So, who’s going to report the bully?” *cricket noises*
- “What do you want to do today?” “Die.” “Well that’s a bit morbid, but I’ll see what I can do.”
- “The years pass so quickly, I feel like I’m wasting away.”
- “Please kill me now.”
- “Well I’m sorry! I don’t have a life.”
- *burst into tears when watching a video about global warming*
- “Is… is school more important than your mental health?” “Listen if I get less than an A my mom will kill me.” “That doesn’t sound so bad, can I join?”
- “So what’re you doing?” “Talking about dying.” “Cool.”
- *female friend doesn’t know how birth works*
- “Can I die now.”
- “fUCK THIS ASSIGNMENT. (teacher) can go fuck themself I don’t even care anymore (comes from an A student)”
i literally cried during my verbal french test
- dude, I’ll become a whore if it means you get out of your house
- i want people to know im dead so that the other people going through this shit can live
- im so scared of the future i dont want to see it
- I hope this ride breaks
- the fct that im living for someone ive never met in person says something
- i hope i have good handwriting on my suicide note
- i wish time would stop so i could breathe
- im more scared of my parents then my bullys
- I failed this class, so I’m a failure.
- What’s the point in trying if I’m going to be a failure anyway?
- Grades are more important than my mental state I guess
- I can’t handle college
- My suicide notes are typically on the back of my notes or report cards
- I don’t want to go home
- I’ve imagined myself jumping off the school roof many times
- This isn’t worth it, nothing is.
- I’m only allowing myself to eat or sleep once I know I’m passing.
“That’s not healthy.”
“I can’t force myself to work otherwise.”
- Scar for every problem I get wrong.
- Can I just please go by my preferred name and pronouns?
- If I die I won’t have to go through that again.
Oh my god
I just realized how fuckin sad we are
– “Can I just lay in the middle of the road and wait for on coming traffic to turn my into road kill? Cause that’d be great.”
– “See y’all later, I’m jumpin off the roof.”
– “If I fail this test, I’m gonna pray to whatever god there is to just strict me dead right then and there.”
– A student: “I just gonna fucking kill myself.”
Literally the tenth grade English teacher: “I’ll believe it when I see it.”
– “Hey, we’re all gonna climb to the roof and pretend we can fly, wanna come join us?”
– “What could be better than some trig problems?”
“Death.”
– In probablity and statisics class: “What do you think the probability of me just dropping dead right now would be?”
– “What do you want most in life?”
“The sweet embrace of death to take me away.”
– “In the end we all amount to nothing anyway so what’s the point in learning vocabulary we’ll never use?”
– “I’m fine. I haven’t slept in days and I’m running in pure caffeine and spite at this point but it’s great.”
– “I’d rather get torn apart by a pack of angry wolves than go home and show my grades to my parents.”
– “Is death and option?”
Theres more I’ve said and heard but I’m too lazy
– for 4 years i cried in bed all night praying i would die in my sleep
– “dude i havent slept for 4 days”
“Oof same”
“Bro im not even joking tho”
“Oh..its only been two days for me tho”
– “i spent 49 hours on this and got a F”
– “im actually just going to jump off my roof tonight”
– “the only thing i hate more than school is myself”
- “I’m gonna die before I’m 30, mark my words.”
- “I’d rather have unprotected sex with someone who has HIV and rabiies than to do this presentation.”
- “Someone just got mugged a couple of blocks away from here and got their skull cracked open!” “God, I wish that were me.”
- “Hey, if we don’t pass this test, are you up to coming to my house and making a suicide pact?” “Hell yeah man, I’ll bring the rope.”
- “I’ll probably never go to college at this rate, so why bother?”
- “Why do you never bring your book?” “Because I haven’t bought it yet and because I’m too poor to afford it. Please stop asking me, I beg you.”
- “The only reason I want to take extracurricular activities is so I can never go back home and face my parents.”
- “I want to be dead. Failures should be dead.”
- “I wish someone could understand that I have anxiety and give me some space. Not even my therapists understand that.”
dear world: please look at what you’ve done to our generation
so what im getting from this (as a fellow gen z kid) is that we’re all fuckin depressed (which,,, what a fucking m o o d)
I’ve just gotta add:
- “This is the second time in two weeks I’ve brought vodka in a water bottle to school”
- “I’m terrified of failure to the point where anything below a B makes me want to hurl myself out a window”
- (Talking about a concussion) “you can die from those, right?” “Yeah” “excellent. Completely unrelated, but can you beat me over the head with your history book?”
- “I’ll pay you $40 and a bagel to push me down this flight of stairs.”
- “What’s the point in planning for college when I don’t even see myself lasting that long?”
- “I haven’t slept in a week and I’m starting to taste colors at this point”
- “I think it’s so easy for me to laugh because it’s bordering on hysteria half the time”
- “I keep writing love letters to the Grim Reaper but he hasn’t responded yet”
- “I studied all night and I got an 87%. Guess I’ll die.”
- “Idk weed sounds pretty good rn”
- “You don’t eat much do you” “no. I’m broke, Mr. Moneybags”
- “If I’m not high, I wanna die”
Yeah Gen Z is fucked dude
