Gateway Pundit ^ | 03/19/2024 | Antonio Graceffo

A recent study revealed that 42 percent of individuals belonging to Generation Z, born between 1990 and 2010, have been diagnosed with a mental health condition. The prevalent diagnoses include anxiety, depression, ADHD, and PTSD. Furthermore, twenty percent of them have sought therapy, and sixty percent are currently taking medication.

When asked about the source of their mental health issues, Gen Zers identified various factors including the pandemic, fear of the future, finances, the economy, politics, the environment, violence, and work issues.

I graduated with a philosophy degree during Carter. You just have to keep moving forward.

No father.

That’s what birth control culture brings us

Detached men

And abortion. The non aborted kids are fatherless.

Reminds me of the Soviet Union in the 1980s.

When our post-modern, neo-marxist regime and society collapses, which will be a brutal trial for the USA, there will be a third great Christian awakening in this country.

I hope I am around to see it

So, basically, fear. Or, a lack of Faith. All by design.

The biggest factor is it’s spoken about more now.

The older generations rarely, if ever, did.

I’ve noticed a high percentage of narcissists in this group.

Social media destroyed a bunch of Gen Zers.

China’s happy. Mission accomplished.

But it’s only gonna get worse. Noticed a mom at the grocery store pushing her toddler in the cart with a phone in front of his face!

Some of them have families, but are embracing a homosexual lifestyle that only has friends based on sexuality and nothing meaningful.
Their souls, and everyone else’s were built for communion with Jesus and other saints.

Social media and the government’s power grab response to covid would be very large parts of the equation that lead the generation into the lamentable condition it is in. In my opinion.

The Gen Zeros? : The world owes me an easy living. You actually expect me to give up my TikTok and other social media “friends” and work 40 hours a week to keep this country free and continue to try to make it make it greater?

Proud Gen Xer who has been married since 2001. We have one daughter (I am not built to make the babies, sadly.) She is amazing, hard working and more of a Xer in many ways than a Zoomer.

I teach zoomers — in the Middle School and the High School — some are cool kids, but so many are screwed beyond imagining.

I was told by one school not to ever say, “Life is tough, deal with it...” to my whining students. I had to part ways with that school after six beautiful years because the parents complained that I was too “heartless.”

The world will not be kind to these kids.

I recently retired after 33 years in the public schools.

What I noticed is how many more kids now are taking some kind of psychotropic drug - lots of kids are on anti-depressants. Many, if not most in some kind of therapy - family therapy, group therapy, behavior modification therapy.

And, many of them came from either broken homes or single-mother homes, most of these are dysfunctional, men in and out all the time.

So sad for these kids.

That’s right, along with America being a post Christian nation.
