You’re describing basically any period of time since the turn of the century. Maybe before too. You’re also describing problems that adults worry about, not teenagers. It’s a fallacy to think that we’re living in “extraordinary” times relative to the past. Wars, pandemics, economic cycles, political instability, etc are not new phenomenon by any stretch of the imagination. For teenagers in the 60s it was perfectly plausible that their entire school, neighborhood, town, city could be engulfed in a mushroom cloud at any moment, for example.
