Calling 15-18 year olds "NEET" is a wild one.

I think it's okay to take a gap year after high school, and take breaks from employment, education, and training now and then.

Just don't do it for too long or you'll turn into felix-linus

If you're 15 and you're not in education or an apprenticeship/training of some kind, the state has failed you.

True, but students doing an apprenticeship/training is a bit more rare than just receiving a general secondary education.

I would be okay with a generation of Felixs

15-18 yos? The oldest of Gen Z are about to turn 30. Not saying they're justified, just that Gen Z isn't just 15.

In their defense, the youngest members of Gen Z are around that age range.

To be fair, child labor is legal again so these 15 year olds could already have 5-9 years of experience under their belt. They are being lazy and entitled by loafing about in school and learning how to read.
