> Kids don't really realize those concerns.

You often see that argument being made that the youngest generation has lost hope and has so many mental issues because the "system is broken".

Yet, as you rightly point out, kids don't really realize those concerns. I mean, being able to afford a house or a car was the least of my concerns at that age, and I can't really see why this would have changed for the next generation.

So I'm genuinely intrigued: what could be the underlying cause(s) of that feeling of hopelessness?
