I think this newspaper clipping is a little harsh, but it makes sense. Some people fear for the future when this generation becomes the "grown ups" in society and when we wont have our parents to rely on for almost everything. I think that teenagers should be "develop[ing] a backbone" so that we have the ability to become independent and responsible. Teenagers these days have been so looked down on and have been put in the spotlight for so many negative things, so I do think that it is time for our generation to start stepping up and doing their part, whether that be mowing the lawn or getting a degree. We have spent too much time letting the negative spotlight magnify the flaws in our generation, so it makes sense that the author of this clipping feels as if teenagers today don't contribute to society and take on their own responsibilities.
