How can you start by saying the pandemic screwed them over, and then claim they could have it so much worse so stop complaining?
I hate this attitude, it seems very Gen X to me. The fact that you can point to any arbitrary decade and find somewhere in the world with arguably more volatile circumstances isn't a reason to discourage people from being open about what they're struggling with, especially because during those times, the problems were just different.
Are we regularly under threat from being nuked? Probably not. Are kids still growing up impoverished in violent and/or abusive households? Absolutely.
Even in the last 10 years, prospects for having a relatively stable life have become a lot more grim, for adults, and that has a lot of carryover to kids
