Speaking as an old guy, if someone tells you "I had it rough growing up, but I turned out all right. Everyone should go through that" then they did not actually turn out all right.

We should make things better for future generations. Not the same or worse.

I think it depends. If it's "I worked hard and learned the value of hard work", then sure. If it's "I went hungry many nights, which forced me to work harder than everyone else", then fuck that shit. I'm in the latter group and I don't want anyone else to go through that.
