Thank you, Angelica, for an excellent commentary.  Some of us forget that each generation faces its own challenges, in its own way. May I add one thought? When I read the sentence "However, these stereotypes contrast with the way Gen Zers perceive themselves," I thought I could insert "any generation" for "Gen Zers" because no matter who we are, we struggle to make people see the real person, not just who they think we are. Please keep writing. The world needs good thinkers who can express themselves.
