fwiw ... I think -- on the whole, individual situations vary, etc etc -- it's probably justifiably less scary than it would have been if you dropped a teenager from my era into the modern landscape.

Emerging HS'ers have generally been exposed to so much more than I was at that point that they're better prepared to make decisions/choices than I would have been if you timeshifted me. Basically they've been preparing for this all their lives & the world they face is the one they know.

(Not sure I was able to word this as clear as I'd like, hopefully it made sense)
