    Not sure if you are talking about your country or generalising all over the world. What you said is not true where I’m from, if the latter.

      We’re (American’s specifically, but I see echoes in westernized European countries) propagandized into thinking angst is the natural state of teenagers rather than the natural state of teenagers within this specific system. I think teens can just more clearly see the brutal society they’re about to be forced into and don’t have the cognitive dissonance of benefiting from that brutal society yet.
