"Disappointed" that young people are "Concerned" about the economy?

One has to wonder what the DCSF really expects anyone to do about this, and why they even think this is a problem. The BBC reports that:

A spokesperson for the Department of Children, Schools and Families, said
it was "disappointing" that some young people were concerned about the economy.

Well deary me, young people are actually aware of what is going on around them and it causes them concern. Pardon me for being a little dismissive but isn't this a good thing? When we say "young people" these days we are refering usually to those up to the age of 19. Surely an 18 or 19 year old should be shouldering some concern about the state of the economy. Why does the DCSF think this is cause for concern?

I say, get your students to take it on the chin, face the world and make their own futures against all odds. No namby pamby molly coddling from me. Tell them this is how the world is, but they can still make it.
