Yes this very true. I used to volunteer at a suicide prevention center before my twins were born. I dealt with a ton of college grads who couldn't find jobs, and were depressed, suicidal and deep in debt. They said they felt alone, and their parents just thought they were lazy.

Society has become a dystopia with a hall of mirrors and flashing lights for many kids. They feel more alone then ever, even with all the social media. I have a strong suspicion though social media is making it worse, since you are constantly bombarded with beautiful and successful people (or people faking it).

Not just kids. All of us.
