The world as we know it is...not exactly great right now. Between the pandemic, inflation, the devastating effects of climate change, and the overturning of reproductive rights in the US, things are pretty stressful, to say the least.
It's an especially hard time for young people like Gen Z'ers, who are working hard to build a future that may not feel at all sustainable.
So, we want to know: Gen Z, what's something you wish your parents better understood about your life?
Maybe you wish they understood just how expensive everything is today, and that the cost of living is much, much higher than when they were your age.
Perhaps you wish your parents better understood what it's like living in a digital age where social media is an undeniably big part of life.
Or maybe you're part of the LGBTQ+ community, but feel your parents just wouldn't understand — or wouldn't accept — your identity.
Tell us what you wish your parents better understood about your life, and why you wish they got it. Your response could be featured in a future BuzzFeed Community post.
