I heard the way we operate also has a big part in it. Like way back when, people would have more external issues and would get outside and exercise more ( which both help aid depression ) and now that we live indoor sedentary lifestyles ( especially since that change came so quickly ) we haven't had time to adapt to our new ways.
A good way to combat this are in our lights. Deep blue lights and idk what they're called but they use them in Iceland since they get so little sun in the winter but they're these lamps that help give you the same vitamins the sun offers.
Blame advances in medicine for letting those 60 and 70 year olds be healthy enough to still work. Or you know, find your own damn happiness and stop worrying about what others are doing.
Social media and constant exposure to ONLY the best parts of other people's lives make you think you're not doing as well as others. Fact is that if you can cry on an internet connected device about how bad you have it, you ARE doing better than a lot of people.
Here, I'll do it in meme form sompeople understand.
First world problems: /My life is so hard that I have to post about it on a devise made by child labor in a country that has little freedom to a bunch of other people that also think they have the worst life ever./
My grandfather fought in three wars and I'm happy to have just been in one. You people lack perspective.
There will always be people who have it worse than you, but other people's problems should not belittle your own. Just because a mother has lost her child to malaria in one country does not mean the mother struggling to find a job to feed her children in another country shouldn't be complaining, their problems are both valid.
That's a pretty bold statement, you don't know how any other generation felt. We could have similar problems but they did something different to deal with it.
Some of the most talented, intelligent, creative, and accepting people I know are my age and I'm 19. Maybe I'm just lucky to be surrounded by such amazing people?
But that was because of outstanding circumstances, like their best friends dying. Mellenials these days cry about them being called the wrong fuckin pronoun. It's disgraceful
You see,they keep saying how they're training us for a competitive job market out there,and teach us all of these things that are supposed to be practical and oh so useful.
The truth? None of it is.That is why the stuff in school pretty much prepares you to be a factory worker.
We study things.That's it.Not 'how' not the 'why' and thats why people who are fortunate enough to have parents or maybe a tutor who preserved their sense of imagination and curiosity, those people run the world today, leaving the unfortunate ones to lick the dust.

And as a millennial, you should know that special snowflakes aren't an accurate repsresntaion of us
