This is sad to see. Although it's interesting to me that older people seem to be happier than people in middle age. Is that true? I thought there was an elderly mental health crisis. Rise in suicide rates among elderly etc

Myself am ncreasingly depressed to see that my children are set to inherit a world that is deepening in inequity and loss of opportunity and rise in social media which only makes everything worse. [b]Kids have it tough these days.[/b][/quote]

I’m not going to say things are great right now, but I think people have a very short view of history to think things are exceptionally bad now.  It’s not the 70’s when teenagers were being shipped off to Vietnam, or the 40’s when all the men were fighting WW2, or the Great Depression when people were out of work and starving, or the Civil War when the whole country was embroiled in war.

Sure things could be better, but let’s keep some sense of perspective on it all. [/quote]

Kids are whiny and soft. They don’t know real struggle. That’s why every kid from a certain background is diagnosed with anxiety and poor executive function.

People I know who went through real struggles are resilient and resourceful. The coddled kids are a mess. [/quote]
