Why is Gen Z having such a hard time?

92% of Gen Z folks are stressed. 47% think of hopelessness. Why is this happening?

Is it because things like Gas, Food and housing are so expensive? I read that many
Gen Z people are still living with their parents after 18. What is it that has them so
worried? Is it the climate? social media?

I think it's all of those things.

But yeah, I think if the cost of living is high and young people feel like we can't achieve what our parents achieved the other stuff is going to be a problem too.

For many decades, it was kind of a given that kids were going to be better off than their parents, at least on average. That just isn't true anymore.
