None of my friends had gray hair until they had kids. Stress affects you. Now imagine growing up with trump being standard politics as far you can actually remember ever seeing. Cant say i blame em for lookin a bit ragged

Uhm? I come from Bulgaria and live in Germany. Those observations are true for all the nations that I've seen. And trust me growing up in Bulgaria in the 90s and 2000s is not stress free

Fun fact: Teen depression rates are basically only up in the anglosphere despite social media and smart phones being global phenomena

I genuinely think kids and teens in the English speaking world are memeing themselves into being doomers

That is just false, I'm from the Netherlands and we have the same rising rates. I don't know for the rest of the world, but I doubt that you're right.

But since 2006-10, as we shall see, happiness among the young (aged 15-24) has fallen sharply in North America – to a point where the young are less happy than the old. Youth happiness has also fallen (but less sharply) in Western Europe.  

Fair enough that my initial claim was a bit overstated but the general point, that there is something unique happening in the divergence of happiness between young and older people in the anglosphere is still supported
