i haven't found much difference though I think Covid definitely messed up some of their brains (adults too but to a lesser extent)
A lot of adults were already fucked up from all the lead.
Nope we were worse. didnt read anything but we didnt have the entire populace being internet brained to call out weirdo behavior
spoiler
I think preteens are actually worse than before, but teens are basically the same.
Covid online school fucked up a lot of people. A group of 12-15 year old girls swarmed and stabbed a homeless guy in Toronto.
Also heard there's more fights in school from teachers I know. I think the age-group that went back to school at the same time as their hormones starting to spike was too much for the kids to deal with. Like, they didn't have the leading non-puberty school years to acclimatize.
Maybe it's all anecdotes, idk.
Nope, was a substitute teacher for a while, if anything the kids are alright, in my time they'd never have the bawls to ask the sub about Marxist theory out of the blue though it was probably an edgy teen thing gave them the benefit of the doubt 
I’m not going to be a killjoy for some teenagers fun. I vowed to better than that, otherwise i’ll be a fogey old shit
Unless that shit is highly illegal, like kid, dont subway surf, there are cooler ways to die and you’re not even doing it for the adrenaline rush
Teens today make me feel old. Back when I was a teen the teens never made me feel old.
the only thing i'll hold against the teens is that they seem to wear crocs almost universally
some sins can never be forgiven, the folly of youth be damned
Teens have done and continue to do some cool shit 
Good luck, teens
I've been noticing a lot of kids skateboarding indoors lately and I think its cool.
Its the TikToks
Still not to discount the "it's generational" explanation, but I know a number of teachers who claim their students have gotten worse over the course of their teaching career.
I did sit in a couple of classes over the last decades and let me tell you my experience is that it is the teachers who are not woke or based who get more flak than before. If you are chauvinistic kids today will call you out for it and will often not accept your appeal to authority. That is good actually. My viewpoint is that from an inner city school.
Kids are communicating much more in the classroom and in a way that teachers can't control, this means that teachers are also out of the loop which some really dislike.
That said the amount of work teachers do increased and the controls they experience, too. But so did the hours that the students have to work. I do have to agree with that kids aren't giving older teachers as much credit as a couple decades ago. This might be related to less respect for old people, or that the teachers are less at it and/or a bit out of the loop. If you are older the noise does affect you more.
In my very limited experience, a lot of the teachers saying this are the younger ones who came in just before COVID.
There was a noticable uptick in feral behavior right after COVID, because kids forgot how to exist in public. To be fair, though, pretty much exactly the same thing happened to adults. It evened out pretty quickly, and everything seems pretty normal now. Average amount of feral, at least among kids. Certain segments of the adult population still have not recovered.
Teenagers are universally annoying
No. I was terrible and that wasnt even that long ago
I still am, but I used to be, too.
...it's a neurological disorder 
The only difference is we didn't have cameras in our pockets and social media back in my day. We were little hellions. I remember one time this scary fucking dude confronted us over some dumb comments we were cracking in a parking lot. We deserved the call out. We were annoying as fuck and dude was just shopping with his wife (or gf) and had a kid in a stroller. We deserved to feel like asses for it.
