Almost 20 years of schooling, crushing amounts of debt, no respect from elders, and shit income. Sounds about right.

What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

“Got no girlfriend, got no pride”
“Always broke and dead inside”
Forcing adulthood on a precooked brain does that. Couple that with a bleak future, low income, constant influence from every direction... Yeah it makes sense.
There’s probably a very sobering reason for that.
I know, right? Anybody in here who is a statistic will tell you why that number goes down over time.
Could there be a sample bias? I’m willing to bet that young people are more accepting of receiving therapy, and thus more likely to get diagnosed?
Edit: the info says “whether or not they’ve been diagnosed”. Looks like they took it into account. Damn scientists being smarter than me!
That's really interesting, thanks for the link.
Looking at the UK, there's an interesting pattern between 2010 and 2019 - the 40-44 group is one of the lowest and is that the bottom of a dip. But by 2019, that same age group is the one with the highest rate, and is at the top of a hill.
I wonder why? What caused that age group and those around it to reverse their order?
You can also see that shift here:
It's different people in that group 9 years later? 40-44 in 2019 was 30-34 in 2010. In 2010 the 30-34 group was the second highest. Maybe they carry that spike with them over time.
Yeah, maybe.Although, that carry forward effect doesn't seem to apply elsewhere, or else we'd see the same "hill-valley-hill" pattern shifted up a couple of age groups.
The numbers are probably too small for it to have any real significance, but it's interesting anyway :-)
You 18: every adult I know is a failure. All they want out of life is a career, a home, a partner, and kids. Don't they know you just get this stuff by default?
You 24: well fuck me
You 30: the amount of stuff in my life that is currently on fire is pretty low. So today is a good day.
Edit: a word
Bet it could be directly correlated with income.
Well I sure have peaked but my depression hasn't.
I gotta say, that's a great interactive graph. Not only does it allow you to change regions, you can easily change from a single year to multi-year timespan graph to see how it changes over time.
I just wish the timespan graph would display the values still ordered by age. Because I was wondering if would shift with the/a generation getting older or not.
It peaked, but stayed there, going on 15+ years...
Japan, too.
Me in Germany:
uuuh… fuck
What do you mean? You're beating the US in all but a few age brackets.
Because on everyone else’s chart it gets better with age, in Germany it looks like you’re just fucked for life.
Only because it scales relative to the maximum value, it looks worse at a glance when it's actually notably better.
The maximum value is the population, as a percent of society it doesn’t get better.
I’d feel the same if I was a Kraut.
If I were* a kraut
When using be in an if clause for an unreal conditional sentence, always conjugate it as were, no matter what the subject is. Even if the subject is first-person singular (I) or third-person singular (he, she, or it), still use were with an if clause in unreal conditional sentences.
Yeah, I wrote that before I hit the hay, thanks for the correction.😊👍
