Is the Drive for Success Making Our Children Sick?
Well, gee, I don&#x27;t know! What part of &quot;sit in this room for 8 hours a day until we cut the umbilical cord, then get a job and contribute to society so that you can afford to live and maybe retire one day. because otherwise you are human garbage.&quot; sounds like it supports mental health? How many people will quickly blame social media, or <i>adults paying too much attention to children&#x27;s emotional needs</i> for ruining our children when it&#x27;s our toxic social structures that are doing it?<p>Oh, oh! I know. These kids are just <i>too coddled</i> these days. If they would just grow <i>thicker skin</i> they wouldn&#x27;t be so <i>severely depressed and constantly anxious</i>. It&#x27;s not as if what ails society hurts the most vulnerable and malleable of us first and most.<p>The way society treats children like raw materials pushed through a factory until they can be extruded as adults is horrifying.
