I’ve noticed a high percentage of severe narcissism in Gen Z co-workers.
Managed to get one of the newly employed one fired. She was nuts!
We’ve screwed up everything. It will certainly take decades to fix this mess. And if it takes well over 100 years, I wouldn’t be surprised. But I’ll be dead, so there is that.
I never grew up, I just learned how to act around adults.
^ This right here. ^
I blame the parents as well. In broken homes, mom and dad compete in a race to the bottom to see who can be the house with the least amount of rules; where Junior has zero chores, responsibility, accountability, consequences and 100% authority as an adult confidant (a horrid form of child abuse, actually).
Most of them aren’t White.
I would blame it more on the parents’ warehousing of children to the care of strangers, starting in infancy, instead of staying home to take care of them themselves.
Except now, there are practically NO adults, and that's a problem.
Too many parents have let their kids be raised by social media.
Ever notice at a table next to you at a restaurant that has a family that’s spend their whole time on their phones!
Right. Again that would come under parents having no rules for their kids aka unlimited screen time.
“Most of them aren’t White.”
That’s not what I’m seeing AT ALL.
All on purpose. They don’t want non-elites questioning the way things “work”.
I have watched this since the 1960s when I started my family. I sensed that the feminist movement was going to have some very serious negative consequences on children.
Certainly not all, but a good majority of them are harmed by constantly changing caregivers, overcrowded day care facilities, and a lack of parental guidance, structure, discipline, and time spent listening, discussing, following through, and teaching responsibility.
We are reaping the consequences, and these are destroying our morals, our values, our legal system, our institutions, and our nation.
Agree
Absolutely……that was my fear as well……and it has come to pass!
They convinced women to leave home/ children and ……here we are!
There was/is a plan…….and we are seeing it’s fruition
I just don't know about a "formal operational stage," at 12 I and my friends were heavily into "General Interest Relationship Learning Seminars."

“This is a very thought-provoking piece.”
The first thought it provoked in me came from the first paragraph:
“The topic was gender and how the experiences of the authors we were studying related to our world today.”
This is an English AP class, not a cultural affairs class.
“Even when teenagers want an open dialogue, they don’t agree “
By definition, an open dialog is one with non-agreed-upon ideas.
“During lunch at school recently, someone brought up transgender females ...”
Ouch! Obviously this sort of thing is what the author likes to talk about and have her students talk about.
Oh well. Mother Theresa said that wisdom is acquired through suffering.
So true.
I've posted on what I see as a tragedy--families eating out, at the same table, each on their own cell phone--several times. They'd rather interact with anonymous electrons than real people. Ugh.
