Do teens these days have it harder than the previous generation?

I was talking to an 18 yr old, and he was telling me teens these days have it a lot harder and go through more things than teens from my generation, I am 31. He was telling me they go through anxiety, depression, cyber bullying and other things. I told him my generation went through all those things as well. I am sorry, but I feel these days people are a lot more sensitive, things that people wouldn't get offended by in my days people are easily offended by today. Honestly I feel teens today do go through many things. However I feel they have way more opportunities than my generation had. Most things are giving to them, while my generation had to really work everything.

What I mean by that is, when it comes to school, sports, work and other things, they have so many programs and opportunities that we could only dream of. I feel if I had these opportunities and resources when I was young, I would be in a much better place. I told him the game is still the same, there's just new players.

Awwww they're getting cyber bullied? We used to get real asses beat and bullied when we was younger. Kids these days are spoiled and don't even realize it. You know how hard it was for us to make mix tapes back in the day??? Listening to the radio with the record button paused waiting for the song you like to come on because you couldn't go to YouTube to listen to it? 馃槀 Get the fuck outta here with that they had it harder than us shit lol.
