I still think going to war is worse than watching some news about whatever on the tv or tiktok.
Btw, mental health issues are not on the rise. Diagnosis is on the rise. Before those same mental health issues existed and were undiagnosed and untreated, with terrible consequences. At least kids today are getting the help they need with mental health.
Good luck in the 80s trying to go to a doctor for anxiety, or to get any kind of mental health diagnosis or treatment as a kid.
And let’s not even mention the constant house violence against kids that used to happen. Boomers and gen x were wildly beaten by their parents as a normal practice. Nowadays parents no longer hit their kids.
Child protection laws are way better in every way, many kids are no longer forced to stay with abusive families…
And of course there is a world in difference for an LGBT kid in the 80s compared to now.
I sincerely don’t think there is any reasonable approach to defend that today kids “have it worse” than previous generation.
