Hurting

AMERICAN CHILDREN, especially teenagers, are stresing out and committing suicide at historically high rates, new research reveals. The world they live in is more than enough, for those who pay attention, to cause acute stress and anxiety in anyone. We hear the doomsday message of climated change daily. What's worse, is that the doomsday message, for the first time in the history of human doomsday messages and memes, quite truthful, accurate, and all too real. Grade school kids are well aware of it, because, for the most part, they have been told about it in school. Elementary shool kids and older are also perceptive enough to udnerstand taht for all intents and purposes, the United States is at war with Russia, and close to being at war with China, and that all three countries have vast arnesals of nuclear weapons, and all have clearly expressed a willingness to use them. The Great Pandemic, and the years of disruptiosn it cause throughout the nation's and the world's school systems is now coming home to roost, so to speak, having profound, delayed adverse effects on the children whose lives were so suddenly, drastically, frighteningly disrupted forever. And the beat goes on. Today's children, poised to inherit a nightmare world of their ancestor's making. Lately in the news is the story of the beautiful, sweet fifteen year old girl who committed suiced after being relentlessly bullied at school day after day, monthafter month. How the adult community could possibly not have known about this, or known and done nothing about it, is mind boggling, to say the least. Maybe everyone was staring at their smart phone. Get ready to listen to, or try to ignore, the liberals and conservatives falling all over themselves and each other blaming each other. Conservatives blame liberals for teaching that America is a racist country, which makes the poor little white kids feel bad about their country, believe it or not. If that sounds crazy, its because it is. With depression, anxiety, stress, and suicide rates particulary high among LGBTQ children, liberals will point to conservative ideology and policies, such as the one which says that homosexuaity and transgenderism are sicknesses or sins, or the result of deliberate brainwashing by liberals, indoctrinating them to "go gay". That's even crazier. In fact the Christian conservative Republican point of view regards gay and transgender people as problematic, and all across the country Christian conservative Republican dominated legislatures are passing hundreds of laws banning even the mere mention of gay people in public schools, and making it illegal for a doctor to treat a transgender person as if the person is transgender. That goes beyond the merely crazy. That's delusional. Depression and suicide are often caused by feelings of estrangement and alienation due to rejection of exactly the sort being visited upon the LGTBQ community by far right wing extreme, and indeed insane America.
