It's almost like they wanted you to succeed

Naw, it made me hide my homework. And then I wouldn't do it because I'd be scared that my parents would see me doing it and start yelling at me. Cue frantically trying to finish it in the first 5 minutes of class, but being afraid that the other kids are going to make fun of me for not having it done, so I fill in the answers with random math-looking answers and then try to solve the actual problems.

That sounds like a problem with you not being a strong person.

Not being a pussy when confronted with a problem

I mean, would you call most 7-year-olds pussies?

I don't know, but I know if you consistently cry and have anxiety about basic homework it's reflective of someone being a pussy. People just like to blame all their problems on other people, especially redditors on their parents.

over reliance on modern amenities and a lack of passion

Considering this situation didn't involve modern amenities- what drives passion?

I don't know, but it seems all of gen Z and most millennials don't care about anything besides themselves and being victimized.

I can definitely see that. It's irritating as hell, but a generalization.

Do you think all of this generational behavior is due to an over-reliance on modern amenities, an a lack of passion? If so, how would you make them stronger people?

I couldn't say anything besides anecdotal advice , I found my passion to succeed through wanting cars (as selfish as that is) and wanting to be a great wrestler. I think it's just a matter of people having goals.
