Similar. Teen(ish) in the 80s. Only during my early 30s did I learn that during that era, the nuke to end us all could very well drop, and it had one of the worst economic crises ever.

Had no idea during it all, didn't notice. Nor do I think I'd worry much about it had I known.

What that tells me is that modern teens over over-informed, it is non-stop, and the messaging is extremely negative.

When I was 8 years old in the 90s I was already worried about climate change. But I did read a lot more than most kids so I probably was kind of weird.
