Are more and more young children becoming cynical towards life? Jean Kilbourne question?

i am 13 years old. i do think about a lot of things as "whatever". i think it's because after a lifetime of horrible thing being thrown your way, you kind of have to say whatever. you can't get hype or flip out over everything if it's happened so many times before. Now, (from what adults say) children are exposed to much more. Maybe we are, but since we've been born it's what we are used to. Sometimes I think it's good to learn about things young so you can have an early knowledge and not be so surprised, but it affects you because you might be scared for the situation to occur. Like for example, love. Every show has people dealing with love, break ups, etc. It can be helpful, but hindering, you might be scared to fall in love with everything you hear about love and you might steer away from it. In my case, I've been exposed to much more. Because I skipped a grade. I am supposed to be in the 8th grade and im in the 9th. So people around my age are immature and don't know about certain things. But i do because I'm around everyone else who does. I am growing up faster, I think about older things(not to much older as some of my friends). But, that is what most teens are exposed to.
