Teens share mental health problems that were exacerbated by COVID

#MentalHealth

"60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.

I hate people due to the pandemic. People are out for themselves and won't do anything to protect you. You have to protect yourself... Basically any form of tribes or society have crumbled and we live in a society of selfish Individual corporate states that control our rules and laws enforcing the people to be the modern equivalents of serfs/slaves.

I had covid. Lost my job and health went down the drain. But, I got to home school my 2 young kids and spent time I never would have had I not had covid. Guess it's my perspective tho

I'm now 30, I remember growing up and my dad constantly acting like I had no reason to be depressed, stressed out, etc. He acted like mental issues just wasn't a thing. It was a really terrible upbringing. I was suicidal every single day for years. Now that I'm older, I often wonder how much life would have changed if they had took me seriously. I now suffer with PTSD, severe depression, anxiety, BDD, disassociation, etc.

As a mom and a teacher, I feel so bad that our kids missed out on so much. I hope in the long run it will make them stronger and more resilient, but it is not worth a pandemic to achieve strength and resilience. I hope the future is brighter for them and we adults take care of our messes like climate change.

I'm "super smart" too. Oh...and humble. I almost forgot that one.

[xHarmonious]

yup many lives are stunted back by two years bc of this. hope for future careers and just futures in general is gone

[grahamsmith]

People's mental health problems aren't being dealt with, it's just constant chit chat, " We need to have a discussion about mental illness, but nothing must be done!"
We need universal health insurance coverage as a human right for everyone in America, for mental and physical health care.
That's medicine for depression and high blood pressure.
We need both mental and physical health insurance coverage for everyone.

What will General Patton say if he saw something like that?

[alaverga]

Western world problems. Don't even realize how blessed we are. Instead of focusing on things you don't have, focus on things you do have. Social media has also impacted on mental health problems because people want to compare their life to others...

No I'm not saying everyone has these problems or that some people don't have REAL reasons to feel depressed.

[SongofIceandTea]

for fake sake, if they already cry about this, they will be crushed by the world, we live in cruel places, you either go stronger or crushed by it. makes them weaker won't help them in the future.

What about the kids who thrived with remote learning?

I'm sick of everyone blaming the pandemic instead of the policies around the pandemic.

*AN IMPORTANT WARNING TO ALL SINGLE PARENTS* My suggestion is a unpopular suggestion giving the fact that so many people are prescribed to ADHD meds. I suggest that *60 Minutes* does a quick video on doctors prescribing pre teens behavior altering meds. In my opinion these meds are the new gateway drug. Most of the time it is not the parent who is in pursuit of medicating they're child yet the suggestion is often brought to them from a employee of the child's school. Medicating children for behavior altering purposes will someday be looked at as a crime against humanity.
I believe doctors and other people in the medical field deserve to be financially wealthy but if its at the cost of our youth then is it really worth it? We have to find a better way for these educated people to earn the money that they deserve. They have done all the hard work with school & are also very important to the function of a healthy society. They deserve to be financially compensated but prescribing our youth with behavior altering meds is wrong though & needs to be stopped! Especially giving the fact that these kids being prescribed have no say in the matter nor do they have rights protecting themselves like the rest of us adults have protecting us.
This is a evil road that we have taken as a society and the results are starting to become clear. Most of these kids prescribed to ADHD meds eventually end up having to take more prescribed drugs in order to counter some of the side effects from the initial drug and this continues well into adulthood. How can anyone justify this? *AMERICAN SOCIETY REVOLUTION* *AMERICAN INTERMEDIARY* Kids in America aren't being prescribed behavior altering meds do to having a problem with stress or simple aggression. Kids here are being prescribed ADHD meds because of supposed focus issues and also issues surrounding a wide range of supposed problematic type behavior. This decision to medicate our youth the way that we have been, will come back to haunt us! *AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR ALL PARENTS*

Sake. Imagine if you had to live in Europe during ww2 as a teen. All those kids they turned in to the best generation. Wheres the back bone gone.

Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven. He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. He loves humanity very much. So much as to die to save us from Hell fire, if we believe and trust in Him and do His will.
He will make you a new person by washing you in His precious Blood.
His arms are wide open. He will receive you as you are.
Don't die as a wretched sinner when Jesus Christ has paid it all for you. He will take away that evil addiction and give you a new heart. You will become a loving, confident and happy person. Have you been abused, battered and hated?
Jesus Christ knows your pain and will turn things around and make you a winner over the evil schemes of the enemy.
Do not die and go to hell forever. Know Jesus Christ, know Life.
Jesus loves you.
