Well I’m an adult and when I was a kid we had basically the same situation. I don’t remember anyone being depressed about global problems. I remember kids being depressed because teen brains are unstable. Most of them grew out of it.
Having 24 hour access to communicate with your peers is a whole new thing. I can’t say that it’s negative or positive, just different.
All of that sound reasonable?
I understand what you mean Yeah. I was more so talking about teenagers who are starting to learn this kind of stuff (with some getting really bummed out over it), and parents just responding to their problems with "those damn video games"
That's what happened with me at least
Video games are different. If you are a teen that stays up really late playing them and you don’t get enough sleep it can affect your mental health. It also makes you grumpy and prone to angering your parents. Now if you are the type that plays in gaps like between homework and dinner and then after dinner until a reasonable time to sleep then there should be no complaints beyond associated costs.
I wasn't though, it was everything else that would anger me, I'd get on a game to try and feel better and my parents would wrongly put the 2 things together
Being a teenager sucks. No way around it. You have the capacity of an adult but no one treats you that way. You don’t have the maturity of an adult yet but you don’t know that. The good news is that it ends and your 20’s will be way cool.
There are plenty of Nazis, I don't think they ever went away and I don't think they ever will. Luckily they aren't as extreme or well known as they were in the past.
I cannot believe people actually subscribe to this thinking.

The nazis never really left. They just became neo-nazis and then no one paid them much mind. The economy actually seems to be doing pretty well as of yet and the Earth is damaged but not dying. Also you don't have to work till you die.
I get it i used to focus on that but i mean for me personally to keep myself happy i finally just stopped focusing on things i cant change or control and i feel actually happy.
Actually the planet isn't dying, many creatures are on the edge of extinction but that's nature, no big deal.
The planet Earth has survived volcanos, tsunamis, ice age, freaking meteor shower, it will survive us
It's the environment that's suitable for human to thrive that is being destroyed day by day
The Earth will live but will human do too to see it
Good thing all those damn old people didn't have to suffer through anything. No economic problems, no wars, no environmental alarms, not a single hardship of any kind. Nope, it was all smooth sailing for those old people.
