Issues like lack of health insurance, lack of sick and parental leave, and the school day ending at 3pm when work ends at 5 or 6pm are common problems that many families deal with on a daily basis. These are a result of policy choices. It affects single people (single people get sick too), families with 2 working adults (not all jobs have health insurance, who can take early off of work everyday to pick up the kids, one adult may require care taking at some point in their life), families with 1 working adult (if the insurance provider loses their job that can jeapordize health insurance for the entire family).
I don't see how discussing these issues is "narcissistic". Aligning the school day with typical work hours seems like a reasonable policy change and ensuring the people can afford healthcare aren't just whimsical lifestyle choices.
It's a sickness of society to treat young people as "lifestyle" (or possessions, or hobbies) of their parents. If we think of them as people in their own right, then the argument for providing them with education, social support etc makes more sense. It helps to think of your own childhood. When you were were younger you benefited from the wealth of your parents, the structure of your society and the goodwill of other people. Those things have been eroded over time and young people today have less support then they had 20-30 years ago, and much less than they had 50-60 years ago. When a crisis like this happens, they too are going to suffer. This is a defining event for their generation even more than it is for working adults.
