In my teenage years, I couldn't care less about 'economic outlook'. Because I rarely paid much attention to the news, and when I did, it was usually fairly balanced BBC content, not hyper-partisan hyperbole/clickbait.
Teenagers should be more focused on discovering their hobbies and interests alongside their education, finding some positive goals for their lives. But social media is telling them that WW3/climate-pocalypse/Trumpageddon is coming within months/years. They'll either be thinking 'why bother?' or 'we need a revolution!'. Neither of which are good for them.
- readyman 3y agoYou obviously didn't grow up poor, because if you did you'd realize how impossible that is to do when you are. Your parents are working 2 or 3 jobs and won't be home until you're almost asleep so you have to take the bus home; no afterschool activities or time with friends. That one thing alone selects the friends you can choose from. The well-to-do kids all hang out with each other because they have parental support that puts them in healthy environments they can relate to. You're speaking from a place with a lot of privilege.
