Chipping in my nickel here... I believe that my life as a kid was easier than what my own kids have now. It was less cutthroat, more forgiving, more free in terms of having chances to learn and explore things on my own. Some of the reasons are inflicted by society and technology, some doubtlessly by their parents (including me).

Stats on things like depression and suicide might reflect this, don't know enough of the details to say for sure.

I don't think my parents felt the same way.
