The children usually are not okay, and it’s time for us to face the reality.  So long as I’ve been writing, surveys have proven that the psychological well being of our younger folks has been steadily getting worse.  However now we’re studying that issues actually took an infinite flip for the more severe in the course of the pandemic.  As you will note beneath, one knowledgeable is warning that the variety of children which can be coping with psychological well being points “has elevated exponentially for the reason that pandemic”.  The information that I’m about to share with you’re more likely to make you very indignant.  Our system doesn’t work, and thousands and thousands upon thousands and thousands of younger persons are having their lives ruined because of this.  The next are 13 numbers that present how dramatically now we have failed America’s kids…

#1 One latest survey discovered that 40 p.c of U.S. dad and mom “fear their kids battle with nervousness or melancholy”.

#2 Throughout the pandemic, suicide grew to become the second main explanation for loss of life for U.S. kids between the ages of 10 and 14.

#3 Suicide can be the second main explanation for loss of life for Individuals between the ages of 15 and 24.

#4 Based on a latest Pew Analysis Middle ballot, 46 p.c of U.S. children between the ages of 13 and 17 have skilled cyberbullying.

#5 40 p.c of U.S. highschool college students “felt so unhappy or hopeless” in 2021 that “they had been unable to do their common actions”.

#6 In accordance to the CDC, “greater than 95% of youngsters and adolescents within the U.S. spend a lot of their every day lives at school”.

#7 At 23 faculties in Baltimore, not one single scholar is proficient in math.

#8 At 30 faculties in Illinois, not one single scholar can learn at grade degree.

#12 In accordance to the CDC, almost 25 p.c of all adolescent feminine college students “made a suicide plan” in 2021.

#13 The proportion of adolescent feminine college students that truly tried suicide in 2021 was 60 p.c increased than a decade in the past.

There may be nothing “regular” about these numbers.

The psychological well being of our younger folks has been declining for years, and a spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics is telling us that the variety of children and adolescents coping with psychological well being points “has elevated exponentially for the reason that pandemic”…

“I’d say during the last 10 years, since I’ve been working towards as a basic pediatrician, I’ve seen a shift each within the quantity of sufferers and of all ages coping with nervousness and melancholy. And their dad and mom caring about this can be a key concern,” mentioned Dr. Katherine Williamson, a pediatrician and spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics. “Even earlier than the pandemic, we had been seeing skyrocketing numbers of youngsters and adolescents coping with psychological well being points, and that has elevated exponentially for the reason that pandemic.”

We informed our leaders that the extremely sick and twisted mandates and restrictions that they had been forcing upon our younger folks had been going to have very severe psychological well being penalties.

And that’s exactly what has occurred.

However after all we should additionally acknowledge that the psychological well being of our younger folks was steadily deteriorating lengthy earlier than the pandemic ever got here alongside.

It has develop into clear that irrespective of how a lot cash we pour into our faculties, it isn’t going to make issues any higher.

In actual fact, to me it’s fairly obvious that our completely pathetic system of public schooling is a giant a part of the issue.

In order for you your teenagers to hate life, simply put them right into a public highschool.

Having mentioned that, I need to stress that having sturdy nuclear households is much more vital to the psychological well being of our younger folks.

Sadly, the standard household unit is below assault like by no means earlier than, and in lots of circumstances it’s being changed by “new preparations”…

Alysia and Tyler Rogers had been already dad and mom to 2 kids, now ages 7 and eight, once they launched into a romantic relationship with married pals Sean and Taya Hartless.

The 2 {couples}, initially from the US, moved in collectively as a polyamorous foursome in 2020 and the next yr, Alysia and Taya delivered infants seven months aside.

Neither lady is aware of who biologically fathered the children, with Alysia sustaining they’ll assist the youngsters uncover that down the highway in the event that they ever need to.

I don’t even know what to say about all of that.

Sadly, a smaller share of U.S. kids are being raised in a standard house with a standard father and a standard mom than ever earlier than.

And that has very severe implications for our future.

As all of us grow old, we’re going to want the following era to care for us.  In accordance to the Washington Publish, it’s being projected that the variety of aged folks in the US will develop very quickly within the years forward…

That represents 55.7 million folks, a rise of 15.2 million (38 p.c) of individuals 65 and above since 2010, in contrast with simply 2 p.c development within the under-65 inhabitants. It additionally displays a constant enhance within the nation’s older inhabitants since 1900, when there have been 3.1 million Individuals 65 and older (4 p.c of the inhabitants).

The report tasks a climb to roughly 80.8 million residents 65 and older by 2040, greater than double the quantity in 2000. It additionally predicts a doubling of the variety of even older residents by 2040, with the depend of these 85 and older anticipated to develop from 6.7 million in 2020 to 14.4 million by 2040. In 2020, there have been almost 105,000 residents 100 or older.

After we are all previous and grey, we will probably be relying on the following era to be the leaders of tomorrow.

However because of our failures, the following era goes to be extremely tousled.

Our society is being “basically remodeled” proper in entrance of our eyes, and that’s actually unhealthy information for all of us.
