Today’s children are living under more pressure from the society than children in the past. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion ?

Some
people
opine that these days young
people
live under a lot of pressure from the public than young
people
in the past. In my view, I partially agree with
this
opinion. Some
parents
feel that their
children
are their prized possession ; the public instils high standards into
people
at a very young age and technology has given
children
the pleasure of instant gratification. All these lead to one thing in common. It's pressure,
that is
a worsening scourge.
However
, Not all
children
feel the same. It can be said that some
children
these days are lucky than those from the past. We will look into these aspects in the essay.
To begin
with, High social standards kill the creativity and joy of a person from a very young age.
Firstly
, Some
parents
feel that
children
are their priced possession whom they always want to glorify whenever they have a chance. It is true that some young folks are extraordinary while others are just mediocre. When
parents
force the
children
to keep up to their expectations, it only makes them feel stress. Particularly, social media

a gateway to mixed feelings. Few inspire by their peers and develop bad feelings like jealousy, an extravagant lifestyle and fear of missing out.
On the other hand
, we need to acknowledge the fact that
children
in the past, who faced war-like situations and had gone through scourge, were more unfortunate. The stress they must have felt is incomparable.
In addition
, some
children
lacked most facilities prevailing in today's world which aided their well being and growth.
Hence
, it is hard to imagine the struggle of youth in past. In conclusion, It can be agreed that young folks these days survive stress from society more than those from the past.
However
, we need to acknowledge the struggle and sacrifices of the young population in the past who lost their
parents
during wartime and those who had to survive through adverse circumstances.
