Oh great. Maybe we should lower the voting age so we can pander to these needs too. Just a thought for you guys!

Stressed? by what? Being the most comfy, spoiled generation in history?

“American Teens Are Stressed and Bored. It’s Time To Talk About Feelings.”

I’m sure “microaggressions” have to fit in there somewhere.

adolescence, a time when neural networks are being sculpted that will influence behavior patterns for life.

This is most likely why they push homosexuality on
them so hard then.

I propose reintroducing child labour as a means of addressing their boredom.

All they have to do is get rid of the “smart” phone and the “stress” and “bored” will go away. It’s not rocket science.

If they are bored, they should get busy doing something, instead of talking. An accomplishment will do wonders for self esteem.

If parents want to know why their kids are stressed and bored, the parents need to look in the mirror. They let the kids sit around doing nothing, they pamper the kids, they don’t challenge the kids. They don’t require anything of the kids — like work — that would give the kids a sense of self-worth.

They’re stressed because they focus on stupid crap, and they’re bored because nothing taught in school is interesting. They don’t read, they don’t go outside, they just get high, drunk, or sleep with whatever moves.

American Teens Are Stressed and Bored

I'd be stressed too if all my teachers were trying to convince me to be gay, and I had zero career prospects to look forward to and I was facing the prospect of borrowing $100K so I could go to college to study Afro Gay History or some such nonsense.

They need to get some hobbies.

Learn to cook, build things, repair things. It is fun and useful later in life.

““What will it take to get the Department of Education to take our children’s feelings seriously?” asked Marc Brackett, Director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, of federal health and education leaders in Washington DC during a recent conference on reducing violence in American schools.”

Teens are stressed and bored. The dumbed down, politically correct liberal curriculum bores them to death. The violence and senseless rules and regulations in public schools stresses them out.

So we need new multi-billion dollar government programs to deal with children's feelings. More layers of useless bureaucracy will solve the problem.

Well, I can see why they are stressed.

So many dang emojis to choose from.
Get that wrong, and you could be shunned for life.

Seems like they’re being properly prepared for adulthood, which is actually pretty boring stuff except for the parts that suck.

Talking about feelings is like talking about self-esteem, exactly backwards. Accomplish something, do something worthwhile, and the feelings and self-esteem will come. Only liberals put the cart before the horse.

I have a 40 year old nephew whose only stress he experienced while attending a private school on Detroit's east side was self imposed. He wasn't brilliant, he wasn't a genius, his only drive was to be the best scholar in his class........According to his mom, he would do his homework until 2:00 in the morning then go to bed.

His classes in his junior and senior year of high school were all advanced, from Chemistry, Zoology, Latin and Spanish. He was the Valedictorian.......

Beside his academics, he also played on the school's soccer, lacrosse and hockey team. In his senior year, his school won the state Class B Hockey championship and he was named all state Defenseman............

After over 20 years of medical training, he's now a Thoracic Surgeon here in the Detroit area........

As a side note, after his graduation from Williams College in Boston where he played on their hockey team, he went to Europe to play pro hockey over there because his application to the University of Michigan Medical School was rejected that year and they wouldn't take him until the following year.........

While playing in Europe, he was approached by an NHL team to come back and play for them. He declined because his goal was to be a doctor........and he returned the following year to the University of Michigan's medical school

Might as well lower it to two. Let animals vote also. We’d probably have better outcomes.
