YOUTH CONCERNS

by David Nuttle

Your in primitive tribal societies have the least concerns and are generally unaware of the issues causing concerns for youth in developing nations. American youth are confronted w/ the reality of armed conflicts and possible nuclear war. This is in addition to worries about our social chaos issues, poverty, addiction, future debts, crime, pandemics, climate change, political gridlock, Trans and LGBTQ problems, DEI, CRT, and "woke" demands, seclusion and low life satisfaction, educational & employment challenges, anxiety, depression, and a host of other issues.

Most of our youth have a need for peer recognition and validation while also needing a close relationship with a trusted adult mentor. Youth from single parent homes with a parent having minimal time because of work generally lack an adult mentor. Many youths have too much screen time and lack positive in-person connections and may feel worthless by not making a contribution to others. Social media use may expose them to many negatives, abuse, hate speech, and disinformation. Our youth may develop panic disorders as a result of find escapes in gangs or by use of alcohol or illegal drugs.

We have failed our youth by allowing educational systems to be slowly infiltrated by CCP (Chinese Communist Party) agents-of-influence trained to get our youth to hate America and love communism. In a recent poll, 39 percent of American youth indicated they now favored communism over democracy. Part of this attitude change is due to said agents working to fully eliminate Civics classes where they would study the U. S. Constitution & Bill of Rights & forms of government, as well as family finance, and basic parenting skills. Such gaps in our educational system have helped to create the idea that communism is great. With complete study of forms of government, our your would have historical evidence that communism is and has been a horrific failure in all regards.

We need parents, teachers, coaches, church and youth-club leaders to be mentors to our youth and provide positive in person sustained connections. Screen time for our youth needs to be limited and they should be assigned family as well as household or work duties that will provide them w/ self-worth. I have lived with primitive tribal cultures for extended periods of time. The thing that I always noted was that all youth would be assigned and trained in very specific age-appropriate duties starting at about ae-3. These tribes had zero problems with their youth.

A nation that fails to properly develop its youth, while burdening them with massive future debts or armed conflicts, may not long survive.
