Niños Ricos, Pobres Padres (GenerationY ) is a Colombian telenovela produced by the United States–based television network Telemundo.

The story revolves around Alejandra Paz, a beautiful 17-year-old girl and her mother, Lucía, an undocumented US immigrant who is deported from Miami back to Bogotá, Colombia; desperate and broke, they are forced to move in with Lucía's hostile sister, Verónica. On the first day, Alejandra is invited to Isabela's party, Esteban's girlfriend. After putting a drug in Alejandra's drink, Alejandra is suddenly raped by Matías, Esteban's friend. Suddenly Alejandra and her mother are submerged into a world of intrigue and betrayal where money is no object and people are not who they seem to be. High school drama soon ensues as Esteban and David fight to win Alejandra's heart. While Esteban and Alejandra date, they are then separated by lies and betrayal made by Mónica and Isabela.
