They may be mentally weaker but we aren't taking into account them growing up around social media. Which really does affect a lot of social interaction and interaction in general, as much as we'd like to deny.
I grew up just before cell/mobile phones came out. The internet was just starting. There were only anonymous chat rooms.
If i grew up now with facebook and Internet/music/video everything on a hand held phone to distract me from social interaction and 'escape', I'd probably be messed up and mentally weaker.
Avoiding dangerous sports/activities will probably make these kids live longer though. Pretty sure i fucked myself up playing Rugby/AFL/Soccer (knees) growing up.
