I don't think they'll be doing that again in a hurry. 'Teenage stress caused by inflation,' write Isabella and Isabella:

If you're like most teens of today, you may or may not have thought about your future, but those who have, realized the horrors they may face.

Teenagers today are under more stress than ever, and two major reasons are work and inflation. With prices rising for food, transport, and even school supplies, many families are struggling.

Some teens are working part-time jobs, not just for spending money, but to help support their households.

This leaves less time for study, hobbies, or rest.

61% of teenagers who feel this way, also have a crippling fear of not being able to afford houses, food, clothing or transportation when they eventually move out, Fear of failure and leaving families suffering. 86.56% of 15-17 year olds have part time jobs and study full time—

in order to beat the ravages of inflation. These are not my views and not senators' views, but the contributions of two young ladies in their mid-teens.
