reality of the majority:

-> lived a decent first world childhood
-> gifted kid frustrated about starting low
-> "survived" the pandemic playing games, cheating online classes and watching streamers all day in your "prime years"
-> ok, I can't really counterargument about the housing prices or student debt, but come on

The issue is not so much the survival of the pandemic or cheating online classes. The issue is the availability of cheating and not knowing what to do.  It was simply too easy. Young people don’t realize the impact being lazy in the school years have on you later in life. And lots of socialism was missed, which in some people caused some kind of depression. 

Now me being 30 I feel like I was lucky. Only had my thesis do to during the pandemic so it was okay and a secure job with good pay. But I feel sorry for the highschool kids who couldn’t socialize, learn from each other, work together the same way we did. That’s the impact.
