Fears about climate change are impacting young people’s mental health

The yutes have it so good that they have to make up stuff to worry about.

[PeterPrinciple]

What can be done? One, I think, is to listen to young people’s fears with respect and not to dismiss them.

How about telling them they are being lied to?

[ransomnote]

You mean ‘vaccinated’ youths have abruptly begun to worry about climate change to the point it’s harming their mental health? Because there are some who have written papers claimning the ‘vax’ will do that too.

How about telling them they are being lied to?

Putin's green youth puppets can't even feel their strings...

When the Irish youths no longer have food on their tables and there’s no more electricity or gas, I’m certain they’ll die happy knowing how they saved the planet.

Who would have thought that nonstop doom and gloom with little to no basis in reality would cause gullible youth to suffer from mental issues?

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

What is to be expected when people are constantly bombarded by various messages of doom? Most news reporting is sensationalized, including the weather. Any weather outside of 73 degrees and sunny is claimed to be the result of climate change. What passes for education plays a big role too. Of course, people who have been ground down and are fearful are easier to control, which is one of the intended results of the propaganda.

Sadly they did not make it up.

This is a fear that has been fed to them since they first started school.

Maybe before since the number of children's shows are all about how "poor erf" is dying.

[logi_cal869]

Well, that’s what crazy does to a person.

Shocker! /s

Who’s surprised???

[vpintheak]

Quit raising weak, woke, wimps! Quit it people!

[gundog]

How about we lock up the arsonists(media and politicians)?

[Sequoyah101]

The yutes will soon learn what to really worry about, like keeping warm and food and getting to where they need to be instead of satisfying their heart’s desire.

Self-actualization and the climate will be a thing of the past.

The Fourth Turning has arrived, not all will survive and it will be very rough for all but the elites.

[Sequoyah101]

I suppose it is to them like the threat of nuclear annihilation was to some of us growing up. It may be worse, they have a steady diet of it.

"Fears about climate change are impacting young people’s mental health"

Maybe they don't spend enough time talking to their grandparents about what the climate was like in the olden days.

[GnuThere]

No surprise, they would have to be shielded from public schools, the MSM and TikTok to successfully avoid the constant drumbeat of impending doom.

[Equine1952]

I didn’t realize youths had any mental health. Must of added that after I got old.

[Jeff Chandler]

This is a fear that has been fed to them since they first started school.

And that is why I despise teachers.

like the threat of nuclear annihilation was to some of us growing up ...

If Vlad launches a nuclear war, climate change will be the least of their worries.
