I would say different. I would put money on it though, that every teen in every generation has thought that they have it tougher than anyone else.
While I would not want to be a teen again, I wish I had only that stress and pressure rather than the stresses I have now.

I have to agree with some of the others here. I think it's just different stresses. I am 55 and we had the same that kids have now. Being a good person, do good in school, stay outta trouble, go to college, etc,etc. I think in some ways they have it easier. with cell phones, computers,more conveniences. Society is to blame with some of the stresses, everything has such a competetive nature. Bigger better job,more money, bigger house, faster car. People are using a more materialistic lifestyle to define what success is. Therefore more stress.

Much harder. The choice of clothes, gaming machines, mobile phones, sports. The list goes on, when I was a teen all I had to worry about was how long could I stay out and whats for tea!

Just a different environment. I imagine it was pretty stress full hundreds of years ago to go day by day not knowing where your next meal will come from. Of coerce there is stress worrying about who has the cooler cell phone.

Different stresses for sure. Its impossible to measure if its harder, its better in a lot of ways but worse in many others.

Just different. Other generations had to work from ages 5 or 6, etc.

It's harder for teens today. I didn't go to high school with guns on campus or walk through metal detectors. My friends didn't play guns and dragons or dress in all black or curse like the devil.

NO WAY, teens today have it easy. They have problems like my friends jeans are better than mine. Not to go to school and work to hold everything together when times are hard. Teens waste to much energy on being nervous and insecure. No one really is watching. We are all busy taking care of ourselves.

I think different stresses. But I also think it is harder as drugs etc are more readily available and not seen as such a big issue.
