As of 2022, the oldest post-00 generation is already 22 years old! What do you think of the post-00 generation? If you had to use some words to describe the post-00s generation, what would you say? Publicity, cynicism, unbridled, easy to fall flat. Do you know what the real post-00s generation is like? Once Tencent and China Youth Daily released the "Post-2000 Portrait Report". The report was based on Tencent's 730 million monthly active users. Through questionnaire surveys and platform big data analysis, the report gave an overall description of the post-00s group. The survey results have to a certain extent subverted many of our perceptions of the post-00s generation. The post-00s generation is much more positive and optimistic than we thought. Full of positive energy. On the surface, they are young and carefree, but in fact they are very deep, and many children even mature prematurely after all. But today I want to say that it is not easy for you born in 2000. Who can see the suffering of those born in 2000? Today’s college students are all born after 2000. Statistics show that 30% of college students think they may have depression !
In real life, we seem to have never seen patients with depression , because they know that they are sick, do not want to hurt others, and do not want the people who love them to worry about them. So they never show it in real life and only dare to reveal a little of their inner feelings online. Every person we see with a bright smile in our lives may be experiencing suffering that you and I don't even know about. Some people say that depression is caused by not experiencing big storms. The more you experience, the more your mind will be tempered! In fact, the suffering you have experienced has no necessary relationship with depression. Our society, elders, and friends will tell you that when heaven is about to entrust a person with a great responsibility, he must first suffer from his will, his muscles and bones, and his body and skin. As long as he endures more hardships, he will grow and become stronger naturally.
So why do the positive and optimistic post-00s generation also become depressed? First, the family conditions of children born after 2000 are generally not bad, and families and parents also place their future hopes on their children. The parents of children born in the 00s are basically born in the 1970s. In fact, the generation born in the 1970s is also not an easy generation. They are the backbone of this society. It is really not easy for them to have old people at the top and young at the bottom. But many of them lack the ability to manage their emotions. Therefore, it is easy to pass on one's own anxiety to children, so children have not learned mature emotional expression methods in the family. Faced with family expectations and various pressures from parents, they will suppress negative emotions to the deepest part of their hearts. Expression does not mean absence. After a long time, it can only show itself through depression itself, which is the worst physical shape.
The second point is that in fact, in the post-2000s era, both families and society pay great attention to children's academic studies. The generation born after 2000 is truly a generation that has been baptized by various training courses. The time for children to make their own choices is really too little. In addition, the current social science and technology is developing rapidly. As a new generation force, the post-00s generation must make more efforts if they want to keep up with the development of the times. This kind of long-term intense work and study will make them feel even more anxious.
The third point is that the speed of social change makes people face more choices, and children without self-awareness will lose themselves in such diversified choices and not know what they really want. I knew it but couldn't express it, and I had nowhere to vent my emotions, so I had no choice but to attack my body, leading to depression. Those born after
00 are still very young and have not yet learned how to face this complex world. It is really tiring to have to bear all this. Fourth point, relatively speaking, the current life is relatively comfortable for children. They have not experienced many setbacks, encountered many unsolvable problems or blows. Sometimes the post-00s generation has a relatively weak ability to bear it. They may not be able to bear it, and there is no guidance or enlightenment from the people around them, so they are more likely to fall into despair. Fifth point, there is no effective social support system. When nothing happens, everyone seems to be enjoying themselves, but when problems arise, no one listens, no one accompanies them, no one understands them, and everything needs to be internalized. But for the young post-00s generation, it is really a bit difficult.
Data in the past 10 years show that the age at which depression occurs is decreasing year by year, and depression is more common among younger people. In other words, more and more teenagers and children are troubled by depression. It seems incomprehensible that many young boys and girls suffer from depression. In the eyes of everyone, they have adequate food and clothing, abundant material resources, and seem to lack nothing. In fact, their spiritual world lacks the most basic human needs. For example, to truly understand and be truly accepted, they carry huge pressure in their hearts with nowhere to release it. Finally, I want to tell every post-00 generation to live well when they are happy and love themselves well when they are unhappy. The German poet Goethe said that those who have not cried bitterly in the long night are not enough to talk about life. So I believe you still have a long way to go in the future. Don't completely deny yourself or deny your entire life because of one person or one thing. It's not worth it. I know you need to understand and care. Some things may take a long time to face, learn, adjust, and understand. Please believe in yourself, believe that you will be better, let's work hard together.
