I am not sure that “this generation” has been through more… Every generation has its challenges. Those challenges come in different shapes and sizes but they happened and will continue to happen.
Internet. Social Media. DGeorge Floyd, BLM, DJT Demagoguery, the worst Respiratory pandemic since 1918, Ukraine War. But really we have to add the phone. Images and video of horrifc violence, inequality, decay of democratic institutions, delivered directly to your palm and daily.
Connie, I think that with the accelerated pace of "life" (thinking of TV's, how movies are made and produced, the explosion of video games (which now encompasses a very descriptive cohort of "gamers") to the expansion of information available on the internet with its complete lack of academic overview and publisher's requirements can safely be described as "more" even though all generations have faced challenges. I never had to worry about either "atomic bomb drills" (although I knew where the "nuclear shelter" was in my elementary school) or active shooter drills as a 1-12 student (no mandatory "K" in that milieu).
