[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what did the audit find?[/quote]

Why are kids so stressed out and unhappy? Pressure? Too much homework? It’s no secret there is a lot of homework. Hour in just first grade is a lot. [/quote]

It is a larger cultural issue and unfortunately we as a society are not acting fast enough.

Social media has completely changed the world; teenagers and young adults do not have the life skills, social skills, and maturity (yet) to work through and process all of the information they encounter.

Gossip travels at a faster rate than ever before. One social faux pas can result in the whole class/social group knowing about it within an hour. That’s a lot of pressure and it’s not the only pressure.

On Tik Tok they see kids their age starting companies, doing scientific research, winning awards etc. How will they ever measure up? How will they get to Yale when there are kids out there doing such amazing things? They don’t realize it, but each image/video like this hurts and over time, that hurt gets larger, and they feel more inadequate.

A supportive and understanding home environment is more important than ever before. Make time for these kids.
