It's important to recognize you're describing a symptom not a cause. I'm also pretty confident, at least for now, the remaining gen-z'ers are growing out of it, at least growing out of most of the symptoms anyway. Teen years were always difficult no matter how you label them. Life just looks different. Not dismissing the symptom, but we just need to start digging deeper instead of shaming children for doing what they've learned to do.

I'm not trying to shame them in any way, just the determinants that many kids' parents were comfortable exposing them to. Teen years are always difficult, that's true. All the more reason why lazy parenting is unacceptable. Teens need guidance, not convenient distractions, in a tech-fueled society.
