Gen Z's Challenges

-Digital Natives with Unique Pressures: Gen Z has grown up in an era dominated by technology, which has shaped their experiences and expectations. While they are adept at navigating digital spaces, they often face overwhelming pressures from social media, including issues like cyberbullying and unrealistic comparisons to influencers. This constant exposure can lead to feelings of inadequacy and anxiety.
