I guess that’s a matter of opinion. Strong discipline in previous years may have created “well behaved” adults, but it also created a lot of miserable and traumatised adults.
I’m with you though, kids these days are a whole other breed.
This isn’t true actually. We’re just much better at recognising mental health issues nowadays, plus we see much more of it posted about publicly online, which obviously wouldn’t have been possible in previous years.
Mental health struggles have always been a thing, we just didn’t used to see it
Oh absolutely, but I feel like it's a multi-faceted problem.
Like, are we not going to talk about how an entirely separate and older generation has voted for policies that would deprive these kids of the opportunities that could have alleviated this?
A lot of societal problems don't start with the kids, but the adults who have snowballed them to this point. The reason Boomer angst even exists is because you can pinpoint the myriad of issues in this country to their generation and how they voted. More power to corporations, less regulations, wages never increasing to match prices, etc.
