I feel like theres more pressure on the younger generation to pick of the peices of the older generation today.

I think kids have it harder nowadays because now more than ever the decisions young people make affect the rest of their lives. It's scary that you can ruin your entire life at the age of 16

Now compared to 20 years ago? Yeah, I'd say we definitely have it harder. Let's face it, the 90's were (for the most part) pretty smooth sailing. Right now, we're trying to establish ourselves in the "real world" amidst all this social, economic...

Teachers expect us to utilize technology that not all of us have. I just spent literally 3 hours last night trying to splice 2 videos together for a German project, and it doesnt help that my phone literally has more processing power than my computer

I think in some ways we are better off, like how advanced technology has gotten and how we have easier access to things. But when you're talking about college and loans and things like that, financially, we're screwed.

Physically it is much easier, much less people live on farms and even the ones that do technology has taken some of the labor out. Socially it's harder because of access to embarrassing pictures on social media

I find it funny how most people are commenting that technology make or lives easier. I think it actually makes it harder. Your business is always allover the internet, even if you dont use social media, you do something....

"Technology" has always been around. It has only just become an integral part of life. Having said that, my iPhone doesn't make trying to get a degree, getting a job, and trying to have a family any easier.

Harder? It's harder having Tablets cellphones computers? No way, sure there might be more pressure with school and jobs, but we have much better technology.

How can we accurately answer this? I don't know what it was like 20 years ago being my age. I mean sure we didn't have Obama making our future lives seem bleak, but other than that. I really don't know.

I don't really think it's fair for us to say we have it tougher since we weren't around in our parents' time. We don't really know. Certain things are probably tougher now, and other things were probably tougher back then.

We have it a bit tougher. I'm applying to college and it is so much more competitive and hard to get into a good school now than it was 20 years ago. We're trained to have a ton of extracurriculars and that we must get perfect grades just to keep up.

I think there's something to be said about the expectations put on us, and the sense of hopelessness that we can't do much for the country and have to hope our elders fix it.

College costs are up, unemployment is up (especially among young people), and a college degree isn't as valuable as it used to be. Yeah, I'd say it's harder now than it was in the 90's.

No! Kids these days think they have it so hard, but they don't realize how lucky they are. Phones, internet, tv.. They forget that children were once used for dangerous manual labor.

yea, i think it's harder. getting into college is much more difficult now than it was a couple decades back, and the internet brings a lot of bad with its limitless good.

Yes and no...yes it is harder to find jobs and now all the illegals are taking them and also getting life paid for them. But no because they gave young adults more respect/responsibility than they do now.

Seems like college is more expensive and we are all told that even after we go to college we may not get a job to pay off our student loans...

It is probably easier since we can carry the internet around in our pockets and use it to help with problems. It would be a lot harder to carry around a set of encyclopedias in your pocket.
