[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a mental health crisis amongst our young people.[/quote]

Why? How did it get this way?[/quote]

I don’t think we really know. Here are three theories:

1. Social media and technology. Less genuine human interaction, more watching other people seeming to be having a better time. Peer pressure, unrealistic body expectations, bullying.

2. Parenting that undermines resilience. Over programming and not letting children explore and fail leaves them unable to deal with any adversity.

3. A more competitive environment. Economic insecurity higher up the food chain, a winner-takes-all environment increases pressure on kids to get the best grades, work all the time, everything becomes goal-oriented rather than fun.

And I am sure there are more. Take your pick.[/quote]

Toxic home enviornment. Disinterested parents with bad marriages. Many people do not love their children or want to care for them. Look at all the parenting fails that are discussed all the time on DCUM.  And mostly the DMV folks are educated, well off etc and in a better position to take care of their kids...but they don't.
