I have one kid who is doing great. Read 50 books during the pandemic, hung out with her one close friend and is killing it in school and life in general.
My other is morose and depressed, tearful and anxious and is close to failing eighth grade. Her teacher, my wife and her therapists don’t have any answers either.
I can’t figure it out. Sometimes it’s just genetics.
We can't seriously address any issue unless we seriously analyze it's source.
I like this quote of a quote. All we do is blame the individual with full knowledge the system is broken. Why can't people just properly navigate the known broken system already geez.
"“We all readily acknowledge that for diseases with a very clear biological basis like diabetes and hypertension, an individual’s body is only part of the causal reality of the disease. Treating the root cause of the ‘epidemic’ of diabetes effectively, for example, would happen at the level of serious infrastructural changes to the available diet and activity levels of a population, not by slinging medications or pouring funding into clinics that help people make better choices in supermarkets filled with unregulated, unhealthy food.” "

You nailed it with this
“The point I’m taking too long to make here is: Neurotic anxious adults create neurotic anxious children.”
Between the above, social media, and kids essentially being “locked up” for two years are we surprised they are suffering.
Being a teenager is hard enough; being one stuck inside with your family? a nightmare!!
