[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Derepression, anxiety, suicidal ideation are at critical levels among youth  in the US.  Our education system is in part to blame and in part the root of the problem for many kids today. I work with youth and am hear everyday how kids feel hopeless, pressures, ostracized, tired, exhausted, overwhelmed, unhappy, unsatisfied, unmotivated, BORED, incapable, less than, disrespected, judged, under appreciated, unseen, unheard, misunderstood, and desperate in the school environment.

Why are we sending our kids into this broken system day after day after day after day knowing the impact it is having on their mental health? Why aren’t we changing education at its core rather than adding pseudo counseling supports at schools and mental health trainings?

"hopeless, pressures, ostracized, tired, exhausted, overwhelmed, unhappy, unsatisfied, unmotivated, BORED, incapable, less than, disrespected, judged, under appreciated, unseen, unheard, misunderstood, and desperate"? That sounds like normal life for most people who want more. [b]Just relax. [/b]Be happy with what you have, school or not.[/quote]

This is equivalent to saying “suck it up.”

And the reality is that we’re at a point where your chances at a basic air-conditioned, 9-5 desk job with health insurance benefits can plummet at the drop of a hat. And anyone who won’t admit those jobs are more universally desirable than other jobs is fooling themselves.[/quote]
