Sadly, that's the way I was taught to do it. And, like putting two spaces after a period, it's hard habit to break.
The word "I" has always been a subject, and "me" is an object. It isn't a generational thing. You just don't understand the grammatical distinction and follow rigid rules.
My parents raised my brother and me thinks our family was weird.
The millennial generation is the most fragile cohort of the human population to roam the earth. Tyrell Terry, a 2020 draft pick for the Dallas Mavs, claims basketball gave him so much “anxiety” that he woke up unable to breathe. Role model Simone Biles taught us it’s powerful to be a mentally weak quitter who flinches at the slightest whisp of challenge. The age of grit, toughness and courage is gone; it veered off the road and hit a large roadside boulder, flipping the car in a rollover accident in the Eugene backroads.
"To most, I will be forever known as a bust, a failure, or a waste of talent," Terry wrote.
No thats objectively wrong, simone biles stopped competing twisting moves do to a condition similar to vertigo. She literally becomes disoriented in the air and it is dangerous.
But you aren't just wrong about that you are wrong saying she retired also, she actually didn't retire. While all of her routines involved a lot of twisting, she figured out how to do an easier beam routine without twists that could still be competitive, despite the lower start value, she came back and won the bronze medal on the beam while suffering from the "twisties" after hitting routine where she removed twists.
The part that people are missing is that there are so many human beings who never speak up about their anxiety and they end up in deep depression. Many end up committing suicide. Is this supposed to be funny? Weak? Or is it just another F’up from whatever God that you believe in? this young Basketball player felt for his own health, that he needed to walk away from the game. You may see him as weak, but remember he has more athletic talent in his toenail than you ever will. Basketball is a sport that people care about, and it takes the most talented people to thrive in it. Running is a sport for those with very little to no talent. aside from sports, you need to realize that even this young man has issues, and just because he was gifted with more talent then 100% pf runners he is perfect but he is just a normal human being.

The thing is, runners, perhaps not as talented in general, are also afflicted by anxiety and other issues. Some of our most talented runners can't seem to handle the pressure at big meets while others never get to the big stage and quit at a much earlier age.
This is nothing new but in 2022, everyone is under a microscope.
I can’t condone any violence; even without it, the teachers and parents could’ve done a better job disabusing you of that “raised my brother and I” nonsense.
Sadly, that's the way I was taught to do it. And, like putting two spaces after a period, it's hard habit to break.
Two spaces after a period is not a hard habit to break; it took me about two days. But your unwillingness to do so fits well with the “woe is me the world is changing so fast” boomer victimhood nonsense.

“You may see him as weak, but remember he has more athletic talent in his toenail than you ever will.”
Of course he does. But that’s not really the point, is it? I don’t think anyone is questioning his talent. I am questioning whether our cultural approach, and obsession, with mental health is in fact helpful. Or if we’re not reaching the root of the issue, which is how we choose to deal with our problems.
“Running is a sport for those with very little to no talent.”
What nonsense. I refuse to believe that Jakob Ingebritzsen (spelling?) has no talent. If I trained for 1000 years I couldn’t be that fast.
Again, I don’t think we have a problem in the society with a lack of awareness of mental health problems. Is there anyone posting on this board who does not know someone who is suffering from anxiety and depression? It is the dyspepsia of the 21st century. Often it’s extremely real. I doubt we’re approaching it the right way with vague discussions of “identity” and “self-love.”
He may be physically strong but is mentally weak. You need to train the brain to push past and heal from "injury" the same way you rehab a pulled muscle. It appears he was 7nable to properly rehab his brain injury. I truly hope he banked the majority of his first 2 years of income and didn't blow it on 3 cars and a 10,000 square foot house he lives in alone.
Does Rojo ghost-post all this culture war bs because he's triggered by real athletes? Isn't this supposed to be about running? I mean. . .respect to the kid for doing 94ft×6 before retiring, but I wish him the best- Go have fun doing something else.
Ask Gen Patton. it’s out there and no matter how much you want to sweet mental illness under the table, you won’t be able to hide one of life’s realities
Why do you even care? What's it to you? So what someone has anxiety. Lots of people do. It sounds like you're possibly having a little bit of anxiety your self over another person's anxiety and I'll bet you even know him personally.
This is social medias fault. Before social media you never heard of this bs. Be a man and bounce a ball. It’s strange that this causes anxiety.
No it's not just social media. We just didn't call it performance anxiety before, but it existed. How many talented athletes ruined their careers through drugs or alcohol abuse? Darryl Strawberry, Dwight Gooden, David Thompson, Michael Ray Richardson, etc., etc. And let's not get started on entertainers and musicians. You don't think that stars under tremendous pressure use drugs and alcohol to cope with expectations and anxiety?
Tyrell Terry is not doing anyone harm by retiring from basketball. He realized he was not cut out for it and decided to do something else with his life. What's the problem? And I'm curious how many of those so critical of Biles have ever had to perform really difficult athletic feats under extreme pressure with millions of people watching? Anyone can criticize but but no one cares until you actually achieve something.
Gen. Macarthur, a hero of the tough guy people who love looking back at how tough all the guys were, was such a tough guy that he threw up from anxiety at the White House after a meeting with Roosevelt, where, from a lack of emotional control, he lost his cool and berated the president (his boss; tough guys love bosses, except their own) for budget cuts.
As good of a story as any to show how effective the tough guy stuff really is.
I think this stuff is cyclical. I'm 51, GenX, my parents raised my brother and I the way you describe. We also got spanked or the belt from time to time, and our parents, though they loved us, were not always super involved.
So I think a lot of GenX'ers weren't so happy about some of that, and were determined to raise their kids differently than they were raised. I'm not a parent, but that's what my brother did -- no spankings, "timeouts", stuff like that.
Probably some soft-generation parents are now thinking about how they're going to raise their kids to be hard..
Here's a free grammar lesson: take out "my brother and." Would you say, "my parents raised I?" Nothing changes when your brother's in there.
I'm not going to judge a gymnast for opting out of an event if they feel it is a risk for whatever reason. Gymnastics is a dangerous sport, you can get seriously injured or much worse.
My guess is OP could not do a cartwheel if his life depended on it.

Agee. Also, she stepped aside because she knew a teammate could do it better than she could do it in her current form, and help the team win. This is the opposite of selfish.
