担心孩子会在网上接触到不好的东西，会被言情古装穿越剧带坏，会跟风文身穿露脐装……家长们常会对孩子的成长感到忧虑，觉得现在的社会环境不如自己小时候，他们其实患上了“青少年成长恐惧症”。

Juvenoia is an exaggerated fear of the effects of social change on youth.
“青少年成长恐惧症”指的是过分担心社会的变化对青少年的影响。

Juvenoia refers to the baseless and exaggerated fear that the Internet and current social trends are having negative effects on children.
“青少年成长恐惧症”指人们担心网络和当前的社会潮流会对孩子产生负面影响，但这种忧虑往往毫无根据且被夸大。

Juvenoia is manifest in a multitude of ways, including the belief that today's youth are worse behaved than ever before, despite much evidence to the contrary.
儿童成长恐惧症在许多方面都有所体现，包括人们认为如今年轻人表现得比过去要糟得多，但很多证据表明，事实与此恰恰相反。

Even in an Internet age, the kids are going to be fine. They may even turn out better than us.
即便在互联网时代，孩子们也可以过得很好，他们会比我们发展得更好。

Juvenoia is the feeling that entertainment, social practices, fashion, etc was superior in one's past when compared with how these are practiced by younger generations in modern times.
如果你觉得你小时候的娱乐、社会实践、时尚等等都比现在的年轻人所体验到的要更好，那你就得了“青少年成长恐惧症”。

例如：

Jim: "Back in my day, we weren't allowed to have any fun, and didn't want to either! We plowed fields and went straight from toddler to adulthood... it was great!"
吉姆：“我们小时候，家长不让我们怎么玩儿，我们自己也不想！”我们帮忙做农活儿，从孩子直接长成了大人……这很好！”

Bob: "Jim, I'm afraid you're suffering from what's commonly known as juvenoia."
鲍勃：“吉姆，我觉得你得了人们常说的青少年成长恐惧症”。
