Kids are more confused these days because their brains are being fed numerous political ideologies, and one group tells them to do something that seems easy to solve their issues while the other provides evidence the first group is wrong, and so on, and no one seems to unanimously agree on anything these days
Kids are more depressed and anxious these days because of degrading mental health, Effects of the pandemic, skyrocketing rates in substance abuse and pornography addiction, the media shifting towards negative as mainstream, forsaking moral values, and a future that seems hopeless to them thanks to poor policies. Don’t believe me? Maybe the extremely high suicide rates among kids the last 3 years will show it.
And yeah, kids are being undereducated these days, the fact the average American IQ in kids is falling for the first time in a century is good proof, thanks to the pandemic and media like Tiktok that shortens their attention span. You will never believe how many people I see under 13 years old who struggle with reading or basic cognitive skills now
