Came to make a smartass comment like “at least they’ll grow out of it when they become adults, right???” but the more I stared at the chart and thought about what it was saying it started to hurt a bit.
I had a bad time largely growing up, and still to this day struggle a lot with depression. I’m front about the happiest time period on this chart.
I went and looked up the study, and there’s over 40 pages of charts similar to this one. All the things about depression seem up, and participation in school, activities, and dating/sex/drugs are all down considerably. It doesn’t sound like anything is better for kids.
I didn’t have children, mostly due to the bad time I had, so I’m curious to go back and read the study, though I didnt see any obvious conclusions skimming through. I feel my perception of if things are bad today is skewed due to my issues, so is the world really worse these days, or is something else going on?

Capitalism has reached the late stage, so the world really is worse.
