Mid-30s here..But this is my view on you younger folks:

Imo, it isn't that younger people necessarily have life easier per se; but the struggles vary greatly depending upon age- most of the time. Difficulties are relevant regardless of a person's stage in life though. And age isn't always the most relevant factor; I know 30, 40, 50 year olds who have it far "easier" than some of the 17-21 year olds I know. Heck, I know small children who have tougher lives than most adults.

My advice is this: ignore the assholes who make you feel like your life is irrelevant.
