Yep, every GEN-X parent I talk to, same thing, kids don't give a crap about anything.
Zero sense of curiosity, a desire to try, explore, compete, etc.
The internet/social media has essentially robbed them of... well life.

And to top it off, suicide rates are climbing dramatically.
The biggest factor... 2007... the introduction of the iPhone and social media thereafter.
Google it. Correlation isn't necessary causation but what else in society has changed that had such an
effect on kids (and people)?

I ran church youth groups back in the 90s and early 2000s.
I don't recall seeing or hearing any parent talking about their kids having anxiety, lack of motivation, or suicide
at the levels we see today.
