    I too started out as a child. My feeling is the pandemic had a harmful effect on teenagers because they couldn't socialize with their peers. That's an important part of growing up. Add to that social media which is extremely unsocial and there's going to be a problem. The only thing I can suggest is put down the phone. Get out and play a sport vigorously, if you're not into that jog, get into nature whether it's a park a forest an ocean or a lake. Read a book and let your head clear.

      It wasn't the pandemic , the pandemic was no threat to young healthy people. It was the absurd over the top reaction by the lying, hypocritical leaders who ruin our lives and the people who believe them like the gullible, brainwashed idiots they are..🤦‍♂️

      You make a great point about the impact of the pandemic on teenagers' social lives. It's crucial for their development. Your suggestions are spot on - putting down the phone, being active, connecting with nature, and reading can make a world of difference.

    In modern society, we don’t have time to slow down mentally. I wonder if 80’s, 70’s and 60’s were better for young people.

    • @SUGAR_XYLER

      Yes, it was. Those decades were heaven compared to today

    • @elleiseepynomore
      @elleiseepynomore Рік тому +5

      In a few senses yes because in those decades single income households were feasible and everything was very affordable because many industries haven’t consolidated and not even an eighth of the practices Wall Street does today were legal. The late 1970s 1980s is when things went south with Ronald Reagan who came in during the midst of stagflation set upon us by being car dependent, and Reagan went on a cutthroat deregulation spree that resulted in crushing job and pay cuts. All of this led to productivity rising but our wages not.
      But please don’t get this twisted…. But if you were not white, not straight, not conforming to gender norms, or not able bodied, the 60s, 70s, and 80s were much worse than today. From segregation to widespread societal condemnation to legalized discrimination, things are a bit better for marginalized people today.
      What’s kinda scary about the second paragraph to think about is that the Civil Rights Act led to support in white America for privatization which ultimately led to Reagan.
      I was born in 2001 so I never got to experience those decades, but I did get to learn a lot about what the times were really like from the 50s until the early 2000s and I am better off today than I would have been in the 1980s. But I sure would have been much happier if I lived in the 22nd or 23rd centuries instead of the 21st.

      Yeah. A lot of kids were stuck with abusive parents during the pandemic, or parents who just didn’t care to understand how their children felt, or who took out their financial frustrations on their kids.
      Bad parents most definitely create very mentally Ill children and then they get surprised when their child get hospitalized. It is such a strain on the system. It’s not fair to the children. The kids didn’t choose to be born. Not to mention they truly are stuck. The foster care system is just a cover up for trafficking and abuse.
      America HAS a problem. Gen Z loses so many left and right, it’s a normalcy to see posts of people who have lost YOUNG loved ones or peers by SUICIDE.

      Exactly. Not saying there aren't any bad actors in the public school system. But the system isn't designed to deal with mental health issues. That's for the parents to manage. Unfortunately it's the parents who create mental health problems in their children by not wanting to parent or not knowing how to. Many people just have no business procreating because they don't know what they're doing. But they do it anyway and now it's the school and wider society's problem.

    The issue is that we live in neighborhoods that are designed to isolate and our third places are disappearing because they are not nearly as profitable for equity companies as our labor is. We are being worked more hours and are getting paid less.
    In the case of teens, most of their parents aren’t making enough to buy them a car for their sweet 16, and both their parents are working which means not a lot of time to drive around with a permit. Cars are so expensive nowadays that the rite of passage of getting a first car is something only wealthier families can enjoy. This has been the main contributor to the collapse of teen social infrastructure in the U.S.
    What’s sad is that for many of us, our youth is being wasted by living in a country where enjoying youth is becoming something only the rich and powerful enjoy again, just like it was before the surge in unions in the early 20th century and the related strikes. While this has horribly impacted Gen Z, this will impact Gen Alpha much more acutely as state legislatures (the red ones to be exact) are aggressively rolling back child labor laws in order to get kids to work faster.
    We need to act fast if we want to fix things. I think we ought to look at what workers did in the early 20th century to fix our problems. We also need to think about doing something a lot different in terms of urban planning than what we are doing right now.

      FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE SAYS IT. I am one of those kids who had to see my high middle class to higher class peers get cars, get the simple luxuries of hanging out with friends, going on trips, being able to afford extracurriculars and field trips, etc.
      These people don’t realize the economic divide ISOLATES low income teenagers severely.
      I am one of those teenagers.
      I am a low income teenager living in a tiny apartment, with two other siblings. I have nothing. I’ve got …what? A small twin bed? That’s all I’ve got to show. That’s the amount of space I’m allowed to take.
      My mother is a single mother, very mentally ill, so I as the eldest have been left to hold up the fort while she works.
      I spend my days inside a tiny apartment with no privacy, caring for and raising two younger brothers, wishing I could be free to go outside, as my mother forbids me from stepping outside due to us living in an area of our rather well off city…that’s in one of the “ghetto” places where low income and immigrants are squashed together, so as to not be an eyesore to the rest of the city.
      People here do drugs, litter, drink, etc.
      I’m pretty much stuck with no future right now. Thank you for advocating for us.

    Not only America, teens are being destroyed by social media and the lack of care by their parents. As a father, you must understand why you work and for who. That means every week you have 3 times conversations with your children. Each time an hour or so. telling them what is wrong or right. Not to smoke, not to drink, not to take any drugs. Asking your children what bothers them so you know what can help them. As for a mother, I don't have to repeat myself but just mention the 9 month you had that child in you. Do you want that child to be a smoker, an alcoholic, a drug addict or being killed from gang or other violent groups he/she might get in. When I speak like this, I wonder if THAT father actually does exist? Greedy governments world wide make money from cigarettes or alcohol and I am sure top very important people use drugs too. The society that started after world war 2, will not last for another 20 years before it falls apart. Yeah, that is what we have created.
