On a positive note there is also less pressure to have sex you are not ready for or just do not want, less virgin-shaming, and more awareness of asexuality and people who fall under that umbrella. By the time I was a high school senior there were plenty of opportunities where I could have had sex but I just did not want it as an asexual person and people actually respected that instead of telling me I’d be lame if I didn’t, or that I had to put out for my partner.
As a person who was a high school senior in this time period I just thought those activities were something I personally would not enjoy. Not sure why these rates of teens making healthy choices is treated as a bad thing, but I have always been a bit of a goody-two-shoes who is not susceptible to wanting something more because it is forbidden. Even with the reasons in the comments about signs of things being harder for young people, I think it is still a positive outcome of an otherwise bad situation.
Also relevant: picky eater. Part of why I think I won’t enjoy these things is because I think if I put them in my mouth they’ll taste bad. I stay away from healthy food because of that, why would I make that sacrifice for things actively considered a health hazard (in the case of cigarettes and alcohol)? I’m also just not comfortable with anything messing with my brain that isn’t doctor-prescribed, and I don’t have a medical marijuana prescription. Weed smells bad to me and although sometimes taste and smell aren’t perfect predictors of each other (vanilla extract, anyone?) I think smell is 80% of taste? So I’m further disincentivized. Plus I don’t want to start liking weed and then having to manage the smell, or to like weed enough I don’t care how I smell. I am friends with someone who smokes frequently and their room smells like weed and they do too and it is quite unpleasant to me.
Also relevant: I am adopted and therefore have an unknown family medical history. Am I genetically prone to substance use disorders/addiction? No idea but I do not want to take the chance I’d turn out to be the kind of person who gets addicted to alcohol and runs over a family in a car and ruins my life, but I know my personality and I tend to be very all-or-nothing, grab onto the thing you like hard and very little moderation. Sounds like a bad combination with alcohol. I respect people who do manage to drink responsibly because I probably cannot. Mildly curious as to what kind of drunk I’d be, if I’d be fun, sad, or the alcoholic disaster I fear I’d be, but I’m not going to chance it. Besides, I’m extroverted, so I don’t feel I need it in order to talk to people at a social gathering.
All this holds true now and these were also the reasons I’d probably give you as a high school senior, with the addition of “not breaking the law and risking getting caught, thank you”.

It’s My Farm I’ll Pass Out If I Want To
If the NPCs can lock me out of their homes at night no matter how many hearts I have with them, I can deny them access to my property at night too. Get off my lawn!
EDIT: I was backscrolling the posts on this community on my instance and did not notice the comment age. Sorry. Hope anyone else doing the same finds this comment helpful?
The stat in combination with the post just makes me think. Those 60% of younger people might have 37% of older generations agreeing with their views. Or at least being neutral. People are not just their generation, and people of all ages have individual differences and places where they differ from the norm. Somewhere, someone not in your generation agrees with you.
I remember I was sad a lot in my childhood, and why. I still look back on it fondly, likely because now I know how the things that made me sad get better/solved in the future, and because my childhood was free of a problem I currently struggle with now.
And on a much shallower note, the pop music that got played everywhere all the time was music I actively enjoyed.

In your defense, “Segway” is a real brand of some kind of transport thingy, which might be where you picked it up.

I also figured it might have been something like that but I didn’t follow the Reddit sub. (Also, it is your community, you can do what you want, but we don’t have to be a 1:1 copy of them if we do not want to be!)
A community dedicated to mostly humorous instances of queer erasure.
Abides by that specific community’s rules. However, I feel “They Were Roommates” would work better for the name of a community for general humorous instances of queer erasure, as “Sappho and Her Friend” makes me expect it’s either lesbian-only or woman-only.
Polyamory’s for lesbians too. Three women all dating each other counts. In a different comment they talk about not knowing what polyamory is, looking it up, and getting sex stuff, so maybe they saw some one-guy-two-girl porn stuff?
I’ll be honest, I never thought you were a troll. But people might think you are because you seem to a lot of trouble finding information on your own without asking another human for help, while being quite active here, and your comments are always short, from what I’ve seen of them. Disclaimer: I never stalked your profile to see everything, but I do see you around a lot just by naturally using the Fediverse.
