The internet has made the current youth fatalistic, all the bad shizen gets 1000% of the noise it actually deserves by volume, and the good everyday stuff is pretty much invisible, it's a massive problem coming down the track.
It's never been easy for any generation, the idea it was easy or easier in the past is garbage spread by self-absorbed norbits, the only thing we can say definitely is that things change so the past was different to the present.
The answers are not all on the internet which stumps a lot of youth today who look there as their first source of information and believe most things they read. Self reliance is part of life but a lot of kids who stay at home much later than the norm with mum and dad don't want the responsibility of looking after themselves because having a good time and leaving the boring stuff to mum and dad has become a lifestyle for some of them.
Getting a degree and a job doesn't mean job done in life and that you can chill out at home and stop learning about how to to take care of yourself in the big bad world.
