You know, back in the day, if you had a mental health issue, it was like a bigger deal than the Kardashians’ latest scandal. Alexa, who’s 23, put it best when she said, “It was almost shameful to your community and your family.” But now, our Gen Zers are embracing their struggles and taking it all in stride. Molly, who’s 25, claims that our generation focuses more on themselves and improving their mental health. Hallelujah!

You’d think all this self-love and optimism would be thanks to our politics, right? Well, turns out, our love for the wild and wacky is what makes us more open-minded. Molly said that it’s not just about accepting the fact that we’re messy human beings who deserve more than just a “suck it up” from our older counterparts. Our liberal and progressive roots make us more thoughtful and educated. Who knew?

But wait, there’s more! These savvy young women even know a thing or two about the presidential contenders in the 2024 election. And let us tell you, they are not amused. President Biden is seen as “disappointing” and “a bummer” by some. Woof. And don’t even get them started on the former president. Sure, he’s manipulative, scary, and an overall misogynist. But, hey, who’s counting?

Even the recent news about Mr. Trump’s indictment in Manhattan seems to evoke a “meh” response from the group. Jdythe, who’s 18 and wise beyond her years, said, “I’m just going to have to roll with the punches anyway.” Is it just us, or are Gen Zers throwing shade like it’s confetti?
