I feel bad for adults who are encouraged to “be themselves” and go down this path (because I do feel these people need help, not encouragement) but my heart breaks for kids...it makes me angry.
They are being sentenced to a life of misery, high suicide rates, drug abuse and a host of other issues, and they may not even be ten years old yet.
It makes me angry at the people pushing this
I totally agree.
My job is to help them find success at school. What happens outside of academics I don’t track, be it sports, videogames, theater, drugs, alcohol, or identity-crises, but I operate from the idea that if you’re doing well at school, you’re likely in control of the rest of your life.
