Definition of a friend please.

Oh, the irony. A friend can be defined as someone who does care.

Maybe they could put away their phones, tablets, and video games and go do something.

And we wonder why young men are shooting people? They feel isolated, outcast and the only endorphins they get is from playing violent video games online with the only "friends" they have.

They were never taught to be alone. Their parents always made sure their were play dates, friends on vacations etc. Now they are in the real world they are lonely because they do not have the skills to make genuine friends on their own. It is sad. As a gen x'er( or latch key kid) our parents were to busy to create play groups etc. We learned to make friends and to enjoy being alone at times.

Well, it is very easy to understand. Millennials are the victims of the lost art of parenting, number 1. Number two, they have never been taught respect, they have been given accolades when not earned and do not understand the concept of fair play. Third, because they have been given everything unearned they feel everything should be free and do not know how to achieve anything. Finally, they are competing for these things against their peers and see them as the enemy and therefore could not see them as a friend.

We need to 214....they will be large and in charge soon enough. Hopefully their mindsets will change from me me me to us us us. If not I don't think God will be able to help.

I guess they don't have any friends because they don't know how to interact with each other on a one on one basis. They are mean to each other and always wrongly react to comments because of only texting conversations which are hard to interpret feelings or intent of the comments.

You have followers on FB but no friends.

You all need friends without a video screen in between.

Be organic. Meet people face to face. You might get bummed out but there are some real people worth knowing.
