What can young people do now that you could not do ? Internet stuff?
The way I see it, young people now can do less than when I was young. For example lots of dangerous activities got prohibited (e.g. fireworks) or they added too much regulations (alcohol, cigarettes, mopeds). For good or worse, no more compulsory army at 18. We live in a very protective society where every threatening activity gets banned.
As a European, I studied in the UK and got a masters, tutions fees paid by the European Union. My children cannot do this anymore.
My young is 17 and spend his free time in the gym, and he is not alone. It is true I could not do this at his age, but I do not understand it.

I'm also perusing of doing a pilgrimage, not because I'm religious, but because it has a lot of facilities along the way. The real thing stopping me is to take the time off to do it.
