Contribution: What should children – and adults need to be known – to prevent youth health crisis

Beginning for the fall of New York students participate in other states like California can’t access the cellphones in the sun. These restrictions are the end of the years of education and activation of parents, teachers and researchers who are concerned about the impact of technology but in children’s mental health.

There is no doubt with fewer screens and little time on screen time helps students continue to work. But early signs reflect restrictions that do not move the needle to a larger issue. It is possible what is required is reducing the presence of laptops and tablets, and perhaps younger students who do not agree with many stries of speed.

For now the little wins of restrictions can only be assigned to other factors that contribute what is a lot of agreements a mental health crisis. Its conclusion can be more complicated than instition “Bell in Bell” phone restriction.

Some reasons for mental health enhances a long time. Family destruction can be most important. Now, 40% of BIRTH In the US occurring outside marriage; In 1990, rate was 28%. What else, only 21% of parents see marriage and 20% see parenting essential for their children.

“Children who grow in so-called ‘broken houses’ are more dangerous to depression, especially during youth,” by Hymoowitz in Manhattan Institute.

“Older generations,” he added, “moved the most readable scripts for being an adult – that marriages of people who are more prosperous than man.”

Similarly, reducing religious relations among American families can be added to the problem. Not only young people lose a purpose if religion is no longer in the picture, but they also have fewer opportunities for the connection with others in the community.

According to In the Pew Research Center, only 5% of Americans do not have religion in 1972. In 2020, the number of non-one religion has risen approximately 30%. If current trends continue, half of Americans do not have a religion of 2070.

As scholars Michelle Shain Messes, religion “is a powerful predictor of mental health for teenagers.” A wide longitudinal LEARN Revelated two-thirds of adolescents attending the religious services of the week reported they were rarely or never concerned. On the contrary, only half of the teenagers who have not attended religious services speak the same. “The teenagers who say they feel very close to God,” Shain says, “also reports to feel sad with teenagers who have no trust in God.”

At the same time, a cruel world prompts their anxiety and depression. Of course, parents can discuss major events of their children (most experts say that begin 8 years old, or children at any age with a subject). In a calm, real, and method of patience, parents can shoot their children while events are scary, it is safe. Although many parents and teachers believe that children should prepare for adulthood by telling them that the world is a dangerous scenario, and that they have bad goals, and they are in bad purposes, and they are in bad purposes, and they are in bad purposes, and they are in bad purposes, and they are in bad purposes.

This is usually view not only in classrooms but in Young Adult literature, such as the most selling dystopianSeries of hunger “, people who need to fight each other to death. Another popular book,” there is a strong girl who has become a police officer.

In the course of his research on “primal beliefs,” Robert Pondiscio of the American Enterprise Institute has negative negative effects on “impossible adults who hold the world and man.” The people who look at the world like safe and interesting are more likely to improve.

Indeed, it seems as though one of the reasons that girls may be suffering from anxiety and depression more than boys is that they are more susceptible to these dark ideas, articularly when they are filtered through social media. As Zach Goldberg at the Institute of Florida State for management and civics indicated by mining data from Monitor the future National Datasasts Datasasts, girls are likely to show attitudes such as neuroticism, justice and sensitivity to “justice”; They are more likely to target the news about social issues such as racism, inequality and bullying they read online. And they spend a lot of time on social media, which in turn makes it worse.

Finally, there are rising cannabis rates used by young people. To a national survey of the use of substance, almost 20% of the ages 18 or above reported using cannabis even once in 2021; Of 2022, according to monitoring future data, 30% of 12th-graders used cannabis last year. While there are some evidence that the use of teenagers refused to refuse states legalizing it, users seem OBTAIN more often.

Many teenagers use medicine to medicate for anxiety. In some of these it can only cause anxiety. And unbelievable, as marijuana skill level increased as there are rates of cannabis use of disease. Ken Winters and Holly Waldron Point to Research from all over the world shows that “heavy use of cannabis may prompt the development of a metal products (eg 15 percent thc potensencence.”

Parents want their children to be happy, but we find ourselves moving forward and more far from that purpose. We may have worked on the wrong purpose. Instead of joy to every SE, we need to help our children find the purpose and meaning of life and solve it to be hazards, which means there are bonds even when bundles sometimes carry sadness.

Parents and teachers should avoid their instinct to protect children from normal weights and disappointments in life. Adults plan to help children achieve joy – by further freedom, fewer attachments, shattered rules and fewer rules and discomfort.
