Being part of the Gen Z myself i understand why so many are depressed, unless you learn about some stoïcism there's no way you feel happy with our current situation given the environment we've grown up in, unless you are from a privileged background.
Mainly because most of us have grown up in an environment where we've been told that our world is doomed, that humanity will disappear or at the very least face huge catastrophe. On top of that we are statistically the poorest generation since the 19th century. Plus because of the population aging in some countries we have to sacrifice our future to pay for the boomers, because they are the demographic that make the election and that politicans really work for them more than for us despite being the litteral future of humanity. I'm not even gonna mention that now you can't speak freely, you can't date or meet people like we used to do, everything has to be online, you have to be as fake as possible, on Insta, Tinder, etc or people won't be interested in you. So yeah it suck, especially the economic part, because we can't solve that one, since GDP growth is based on the energy intake growth of the whole system (the world) we can't even expect economic prosperity in the future because we are globaly in an energy contraction that can't be solved indefenitly by debt. So unless someone figures a way to increase our energy intake massively we will be in a permanent recession which mean we'll get even poorer and more in debt than we are. Now i don't belive that we are doomed i've out grow that philosophy becayse even if it's true it doesn't make me happy and i have to take accountability and make the best i can with what i have but ofc a lot of gen z are gonna be depressed if they can't outgrow that.
