Gen Alpha – Social Life Guide

We all know about video games- Roblox, Fornite and games like that. And as a Generation Alpha, it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to avoid them. They shorten attention spans and disrupt conversation skills. I will tell you my story, what happened, and give you my perspective. These are all my opinions, so please no hate comments.

Roblox Guide

Almost all my friends play it and they usually babble about it a lot. That made me feel excluded because I didn’t have the game. I asked my parents for the game, but used it irresponsibly. It got taken away from me and I never saw the home screen again. I was very sad about it, but my parents taught me things and it made me proud I left it.

When I went to school, it was hard telling them that I didn’t have Roblox. If you, the reader relate to this, DON’T GET YOUR CHILD ROBLOX. Now, it’s up to you but I really recommend not. I bet your kid will come running up to you asking, “Can I have Roblox? Please? All my friends are playing it I and want to stay connected with them!” It’s better if they don’t get it because then their friends will turn into zombies of the digital world and your kid won’t!

There are inappropriate games on there such as “Public Bathroom Simulator” and don’t even get me started on “Brookhaven”. Even with the restricted age limit, your child can still have access to those games. Instead of giving them Roblox, give them one hour screen time one weekdays and two hours on weekends. Because there will be no Roblox, they will go onto other games. But give them a Nintendo with the game Minecraft.

This blog isn’t at all on Minecraft and you can read my other article about it, but I just want to advise you. Minecraft is like Roblox but more moderated, less weird and more creative. It has endless possibilities, and it’s more healthy for your child. I’m not your consultant, do what you want to do. I’m just warning you…

Fortnite Guide

I’ve never played Fortnite before, but I have an idea of what you should do. If your kid is less than thirteen, don’t get them Fortnite. They will be exposed to harmful violence on it and it’s better to wait until when they’re more mature. 

One of my friends plays it and his dad is in the military, so I don’t even know what’s going on in his brain. He says things like, “If you hit me, I’ll get my dad to hunt you down and snipe you.” I know he can’t be for real but that is a bit concerning.

Another example is this one boy that is so annoying. He also grinds on Fortnite and I asked him if he would shoot people during an argument. Guess what he said. “I would maybe, in America.” That is really wrong and he should not be saying those things.

Just wait until your kids get older so they can tolerate it better. Same goes for other shooter games like Call of Duty.

Conclusion

Anyways, here’s all my advice in a summary.

1. Don’t get your child any violent shooter games if under recommended age limit

2.  Don’t get Roblox for your kid

3. Don’t get any questionable games (such as High on Life)

So that’s it for this article. If you have any questions, please feel free to comment on this blog. I will try to respond. Thanks for reading and have a good day!

Gen Alphas

As a Gen Alpha, there is a lot of brain rot. For instance, Tralaleo Tralala or Tung Tung Tung Sahur. If you scroll on YouTube or any other social media platforms, you’re sure to lose some braincells. And everyone says “six-seven”. Even I do sometimes.

Six Seven

Everyone at my schools says it, and even Duolingo says it too. One time I was doing French on Duolingo then this came up: “Q: What does ‘Six-Sept’ translate too? A: Six-seven.” My parents told me that even a school banned the phrase “six-seven”. My friend said that it originated from a basketball player. But a news article says it’s from a rapper. I don’t know who made it but they just caused pure chaos at school.

Gen Alpha Phrases

These ones I’m totally against. But it’s hard to stop saying them when, for example, girls are chanting, “slay girly” in the cafeteria. Ah, my ears! Another phrase is, “Skibidi ohio rizzler”. It apparently means that someone is bad at getting a love. Something I swear younger kids sing is, “skibidi bop bop bop yes yes”. They have so much brain rot. Some kids yell, “sigma sigma boy sigma boy sigma boy” which is from a song. But that will be outdone by something else down below.

Italian Brainrot

Some common ones are Tralaleo Tralala or Bombardino Croccidillo. Honestly, I do say it sometimes because I keep hearing it at school. I have no idea how it was created. Because it is so popular, someone made a game on Roblox called, “Steal a Brainrot”. Now I don’t play Roblox but my friends do and they talk about it non-stop. There is also lore for Italian Brainrot. For example, Tung Tung Tung Sahur knocks on people’s doors for dinner. The “tung tung tung” is the sound of knocking. And “sahur” is what they say after too. If the person doesn’t come to eat dinner when called, then he beats them up with a bat.

Regular Memes

Normal memes are probably the least brain rot-ish of them all. My most favorite are Popping Cat and Bouncing Seals. You might have heard about the “this is fine” meme. It depicts a dog drinking a cup of tea while his house burns down. There are a lot of memes about everything, like ones about school. I could literally create a meme about what I’m looking at out the window. For example, the rain in Amsterdam keeps turning in different directions- I could make a meme out of that. Someone also made a boardgame entirely based on memes- What Do You Meme. I use to have that game but the kids at my school entirely trashed it.

So that’s it for this article. If you have any questions, please feel free to comment on this blog. I will try to respond. Thanks for reading and have a good day!
