Exactly the same amount of backing up as "school != stress for most" does.

  No it doesn't. Where are all the articles and stories from the last, oh idk, couple hundred years about how everyone is miserable at school? Sure, no one likes homework, but if you've ever been in a school, most people are having a good time. Can we stop normalizing trauma and problems with ones social life? It's not the norm, stop pretending it is.

    They're all over the place. Have you ever read essays by British, Japanese, Indian, Singaporean people describing their and their friends' mental state throughout schooling over the past several centuries? School is also becoming more and more stressful as smaller and smaller metrics were tracked. When my grandfather went to school his parents were sent a report card twice per year. When my father went to school his parents were sent four report cards per year. When I went to school my parents were sent twelve report cards per year, and they started experimenting with an online system to track every grade on every assignment. Now that my young cousins are in school even their daily classroom participation can be tracked. Any survey of modern schoolkids that asks about anxiety or depression has enormous rates of response in the positive.

    Yes, it does. Just because one of them matches your personal anecdote doesn't waive the requirement for actual evidence. I'm glad to hear you had a good school life. Most people aren't that lucky.
