Gen Z POV

Burnout jokes are everywhere, but they hide real exhaustion. We need more than humor. We need support.

Gen Z is expected to fix everything. But we are rarely given the power to lead change. Praise without power is just noise.

Gen Z isn’t lazy, we’re just tired of pretending everything’s fine. The pressure to be perfect is breaking us before we even begin.

Gen Z isn’t apolitical. We’re overwhelmed. Caring deeply in a world that rarely listens isn’t easy, but it doesn’t mean we’ve checked out.

Being 17 and politically aware means knowing what’s at stake, but not being able to vote yet. We see it all. We just can’t act on it.

The pressure to be perfect isn’t ambition. It’s survival. And it’s breaking Gen Z students before they even know what success should mean.

Gen Z debates aren't on stages, they're in group chats. Honest, messy, and real. That’s where our politics actually take shape.

Growing up online shaped how Gen Z sees the world and ourselves. Now it’s time to reflect, reset, and reclaim the scroll.
