Why is Gen Z aging so fast?

[meleebrawler]

I wouldn’t have believed he was Gen Z if I were to see him on the street.

Brett reacting to Jordan is literally what everyone has been waiting for lol, now all we need is a collab

I hate people who downplay what people have gone through. Every generation has had its rough patches. We shouldn’t have to compete who went through worse.

Jordan is 26. And yet, he looks wise beyond his years.

Brett reacting to Jordan is just the best thing ever

Gen Z here, 22, living alone. Rent started at $1000, over the last few years has moved to nearly $1500. Havent moved, 1 bedroom apartment, expensive go up with no pay increase, and no reflection of why its going up. just going up. Gen Z has been handed a shit show and there's no explanation about it. we just deal with it, or like some their parents deal with it for them.

When I shaved my beard off people think I’m barely 30 when I’m actually about to hit 50. It’s not a generational thing… you get out what you put in.

“I’m still the child.” I felt that so hard. ‘98 baby and definitely still want to sit at the kids table.

I can't believe he's only 26 years old. 😂

I'm a millennial (born in 89) and am really starting to feel like Gen Z are our battle siblings :P Compared to the last few generations that came before us, we've all had it rough. If a boomer ever tries to tell you they had it worse because of "coal miner strikes" or "threat of nuclear war", just tell them "well at least you had coal left and you could go home to your own £50k house that's now your £2 million safety net, paid for by your minimum wage factory job" lol.

Drugs, alcohol, smoking and sleeping around also adds to the aging acceleration. The stars that burn the brightest, also fade the quickest.

For unknown reason Brett reacting to Jordan made me really happy 😭

[silentnight]

I'm a 26 year old and some lady at Lowe's thought I was in my forties 🤦🏻

[dennisweiss]

I am 42 and the coworker at my new job got his mind blown when he found out, thought that I barely passed 30.

[patricknl]

Born in 78 and i still feel like a kid sometimes. Never grow old ! Enjoy life.

[theekomodojoe]

I'm 30 and this brother makes me look like I'm 18 😂

I heard a young girl in the bathroom at my work the other day singing a song about having anxiety and it made me so sad, but for some reason something clicked for me in that moment. Kids are so overstimulated by screens and media I’m not at all surprised that they have crazy chemical imbalances! I see kids being pushed around in strollers with phones and tablets in their hands. These kids are given personal laptops by their schools to do all their work on. We aren’t made to be interacting with technology constantly. And we wonder why we can’t get them to concentrate for two seconds in class? We did this to ourselves

I'd actually argue it's the heavy drug and alcohol abuse, too much empty sex since a very young age and various cosmetic procedures among many other things rather than fabricated stress. As a Millennial who grew up in a war torn country through the late 90s and early 00s I fail to see how wars and genocide that are going on actually affect most American and/or Western teens that seem to be complaining about this.
If anything the incredibly comfortable lives without actual problems most of them have lead to increasingly stupid and self-destructive behavior patterns and getting too invested and overly stressed by things that have nothing to do with them.

Not climate change, as some might argue while sipping a 17$ starbucks cup that they'll throw or leave somewhere while complaining how tired they are and how bad their circles under their eyes are after not sleeping for no other reason than being up all night on the internet or partying.

I hope my realization that nothing actually matters and that time will just keep marching on will preserve me better than most 😌
