to bring up additional facts to make my point if previous ones have failed to accomplish the point.

Yes, we were never attacked by a nuclear weapon, but if one had hit, it wouldn't just have wiped out your school, it would have killed all of your friends and family, too. And we had no idea that things were going to work out.

I'm not trying to say that my generation had it worse, I'm just saying that each generation has its own obstacles to overcome, there's never really been a Golden Age to have a perfect life. Maybe millennials can take some comfort in knowing "this, too, shall pass."
