For the record I'll be 30 this year so I'm a millennial and I can name 10 girls and one guy I knew as a teen with either a cutting habit or anorexia or bulemia. The it difference between gen z and millennials and gen x and boomers is that WE ACTUALLY TALK about our mental health issues. You guys just acted like starving to lose weight was what you did. And everything else was hush hush... Chemda knows what I mean here.
You are right of course.
Im over 40 and we had people with terrible eating disorders when I was in school and I myself had some problems with it in the past.
I still remember when older people said there was something wrong with my generation and we were too sensitive.
So it’s always repeating.
