Interview by Lon Woodbury and David Brinkman
Chelsea Krost, a 21-year-old writer, producer and TV and radio host who has created a forum for young adults to share their opinions on topical issues, shared her refreshing perspective on Generation Y and some of the challenges it is facing with Lon Woodbury and co-host David Brinkman on L.A. Talk Radio.
Background
Chelsea Krost is the founder of an Internet radio show called "Teen Talk Live with Chelsea Krost." By the age of 16, she had her own Internet radio show. When her show debuted on WBZT 1230 AM, she was named the youngest AM radio host in America. It was at this time that she developed the famous tagline: Our voice. Our opinions. Our time to talk." Then by the age of 19, she had accumulated a long list of accomplishments including radio talk show host, writer, beauty product designer, and motivational speaker.
Issues Faced By Generation Y
As a talk show host, Chelsea has discussed numerous issues young adults encounter on a daily basis. She created her radio program as a place for adolescents to visit for positive counsel.
As an unofficial spokesperson for the Millennial Generation, Chelsea conversed with Lon and David about a wide spectrum of topics, including the effects of e-cruelty or cyber-bullying and how to bridge the gap between teenagers and overwhelmed or bewildered parents.
In the Millennial Generation, bullying had taken on a new, perhaps even more threatening guise. Using technology, such as cell phone text messaging and social media websites like Facebook and Twitter, people could anonymously harass others. This harassment went well beyond teasing to outright cruel commentary, resulting in many instances of victims committing suicide.
Another serious challenge faced by the Millennial Generation was increased alienation. Since young adults were living in difficult times, a time where drugs, promiscuity, and violence were common place, young people were often feeling isolated from their parents and society. Chelsea suggested that parents could bridge the generation gap by learning to become friends with their children, rather than merely coercive authority figures. Parents could earn the trust and respect of their children by sharing more of their own childhood experiences and relating to their children as people.
Final Thoughts
The program addressed numerous inquiries regarding the generation gap, how innovation was robbing us of face-to-face individual contact, and how important it was for parents to relate much better to their offspring to end a sense of detachment an
