[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I attended a "pressure-cooker" private school 35 years ago, but I wasn't aware of anything like the mental health issues that seem to exist nowadays (though of course drug use, and mental health problems existed). I wonder why things are worse? [/quote] 35 years ago, you could do ok in high school, attend a prestigious college if your parents could afford it (a job or modest loans if now) and expect to graduate with a well paying job. Now the fight to get into those schools requires kids to be nearly perfect and that modest loan is now decades of debt. That great job after graduation is also a crap shoot. We had generations where kids could expect to do as well as or better than their parents and now we're seeing that eroding [/quote]
