Re: Fandom and Anxiety

DA I'm probably somewhat close to your age, and I don't know if I agree. Yes there are certainly crappy parents and there have always been crappy parents, but I don't think parents investigating issues within their children makes them bad parents.

Some teenagers are just being teenagers, but some are showing signs of more serious issues. Maybe this is just my personal experience but I wish I had more investigation into my problems when I was young, then maybe I wouldn't be struggling to cope so much as an adult- where now I don't have the resources I did when I was young (like money and great health insurance coverage.)

Kids should absolutely still be disciplined but I don't know that mental health being more known about is a sign of bad parenting, I think it's part of moving forward with knowing about our own health. There will always be mistakes and step backs with this, but so many people still suffer from mental illness quietly and it's for those people that it's important we talk about things and not make them feel like they've just "imagined" it.

In any case I don't want to go back to the Baby Boomer way of doing things where they just deny the problem until it kills them.

AYRT

For reference: I am on the slightly younger side of 40. I do think my experience was atypical (that I was the responsible one in my family even when I was a child), but from what I have seen/dealt with for and from people my parents' age, I honestly don't think their immaturity and lack of just general life skills, is atypical of Baby Boomers, in fact it seems to be a hallmark of their generation.

(I should also add that I am a PWD, physical ones, and dealt with that growing up too...thankfully I live in a country with socialized healthcare. I recognize there is totally a pecking order/disability hierarchy, and yeah, I am unfairly biased in my opinions re: mental illness as a disability, because of that.)

I don't know a lot of people my own age (in fact I don't have any friends my own age right now), so that's why I said I was talking out my hat, WRT how the Millennials have been raised. I have seen a lot of Millennials with severe entitlement issues, though, and I dread what the world will become, once they get out in it. Unless the world laughs, thumbs its nose, and crushes them like bugs, which would be even more unfortunate.

TL:DR; Anon's observations on life in the 21st century....
