Can we stop normalizing trauma and problems with ones social life? It's not the norm, stop pretending it is.

School is also becoming more and more stressful as smaller and smaller metrics were tracked. When my grandfather went to school his parents were sent a report card twice per year. When my father went to school his parents were sent four report cards per year. When I went to school my parents were sent twelve report cards per year, and they started experimenting with an online system to track every grade on every assignment. Now that my young cousins are in school even their daily classroom participation can be tracked.
Any survey of modern schoolkids that asks about anxiety or depression has enormous rates of response in the positive.
I'm glad to hear you had a good school life. Most people aren't that lucky.
