They are looking at the problem. You can’t solve anything if you pretend it doesn’t exist.

They haven't solved anything, and it appears there is no desire to solve because then they would stop being victims. It's just too comforting to be able to blame any shortcomings on something other than your own effort. Don't believe me? Find one that takes full accountability for themselves rather than blame society/parents/Elon/Chad from school etc. Nothing is ever their fault, have a conversation with them if you don't believe me. I talk to them everyday and it's an almost universal mass psychosis.

They are young. No generation is perfect, and they may yet fail to address it.
But still, if the issue isn’t even recognized then the only way it might be addressed is accidentally. At least they have a chance to look it head on.
Gen Z is lucky in a sense to have mostly Gen X or younger parents, who are like, yeah, it sucks, I feel you.
This is validating for Gen Z is a wonderful way and I hope that everyone complaining about emotional entitlement can come to understand that while it may be uncomfortable for them because they don’t speak the language, it is not a weakness, it is a strength.
