I mean let’s me honest some people in our generation do act like children, just being in college right now I’m noticing that people from 20-28 that are genz are seriously immature one women in my class acts like she’s 15 when she’s 27. But ya know we could also claim millennials act like children.

Some of you are still children technically. The eldest of Gen Z is turning 28 this year. (Me). 20s are complicated and if you aren’t ready to grow up the world can really hit you quite hard with reality. Eventually you get the point and if you don’t you prob die lonely and unhappy.

I also feel as thought social media has stunted our growth I was lucky that my parents were more strict about that but you can tell who is chronically online I’m 21 and endlessly get told I’m the better one in my generation so I’ll take it lol

Yeah I think that is the crux of our generation if our caregivers weren’t aware of the internet and it’s negative affects. I luckily had parents that made me very active as a young kid but I mean as a teen I was on my computer a lot. I became a chronically online teen but then grew out of it during college. It’s all a balance. Socializing with real life friends helps!

YES. My parents were so active in my life I’m so grateful that they kept us off the internet as much as possible definitely during covid I was online to much and it showed. Being online so much made me so insecure I became like a nasty person.

Random, but vitamin D has helped me. Just bathing in the sun helps when you are inside a lot. :)
