I have always maintained that children growing in this generation with social network and influencers is way harder than any generation before. For instance, growing up I knew that we weren't rich but never fully aware how much poorer I was than my classmates. Simply I have no access to the information of my classmate life after school is over. Sure I had TV and all that but almost everyone I knew growing up are more or less like me, from what I can see. Nowaday even for grownups, you have a hard time constantly comparing yourself to others with what you see on FB or IG, your "peers" who are better or whatnot. Can't imagine for kids without the maturity and fully developed brain can process that. All that is to say, the feeling of insecurity and being "not enough" is so much more amplified for kids than ever before. Nothing makes you feel even more lonely and miserable than seeing other kids having a seemingly great lives on their vacation with their loving parents or kids having so much fun at parties that you are not invited to. So glad that I didn't grow up with social network.
