Warned and warned of the dangers of social media, handing small children ipads and phones and letting it raise your child, the rise in teen mental health problems, along with the astronomical spike in teen suicides, and now teens involved in murder and all sorts of extremely* violent crimes.
We did this.
The data was there ten years ago.
Again, no one listened.
I have also noticed in what appears to be a rise in psychopathy. Watch how many legitimate pshycopaths we will have once gen alpha grows up.
The system has failed.
Or worked perfectly...
Ps. take a look at what China's education system is teaching them. Things like masculinity and femeninity, as well as actual life skills. They teach there young boys hand to hand combat. They teach them all to be disciplines\d and respectful. China is actually teaching their kids valuable life skills. As well as military style readiness. Match that up with our youth and what they are being taught in the west. Those gen alpha Chinese kids will grow up to be warriors, while our young will be a total shit show. If hand to hand war were to ever come our way in the future those young Chinese kids are going to wipe the floor with ours. Meanwhile their psyop weapon called tik tok will continue to groom our youth into brain dead marshmallows. (but hey, keep on tik tok'n)
Brutal smack in the face....but its the truth!
I too do not believe this is by accident. We have known for over half a century that the plan was always to take American down from within. Why we continue to follow the yellow brick road to the land of collapse and the land of 1984, is a conundrum for me. Why know we what is happening, yet we continue to ignore the signs, that something wicked this way comes.
I pray these kids pull a rabbit out of their hat, and find a way to fix this mess we have left them.

Seriously though, I remember all the names of my teachers, instructors and those outside education who imparted day to day living skills and homecrafts. Even those I failed in their expectations but that is a fault of mine.
I left my children here with the same expectations. If they fail or tend to go down another path now. It is not my fault. Even as they are adults now we care (true love and I) picking up the pieces now and then. In their past we made sure that their homework and assignments were complete be them C or D results but as long as the became good people and had life abilities we are happy.
Sure, there were Iphones, laptops etc as they grew but there was a time and a place. I see parents or guardians suppling very young ones with Ipads now. Meanwhile the parents are on their own media. The household may be quiet until the Ipad battery runs out. It's like a pacifier I guess. But...
And there is a but in this case My grandson, who is 2 going on 3. Has an Ipad as well as an assortment of toys (educational and the like) that I never did have. Here's the clincher in this 'experiment'? He plays numbers, shapes and spelling games. So I thought. It's past that. Nothing nasty. Show him any shape or prism and he will name them and spell them. "parallelogram" is an example. I was lucky to spell 'cat' at that age. Knows all the colors and spells them. Knows all the planets in order of the solar system. And spells them. (Uranus?) I kid you not. Can speak quite fluently and spells out peoples names. Knows his sums and I'm like "TF".
His mother (our daughter), single, lives in an old rented place, struggles etc. He's learning via the Ipad? Constantly doing puzzles in Math, Science etc.
So in this aspect I'm not horrified just flabbergasted. He stays with us occasionally to give mum a break. Learns some outdoor stuff here on the farm.
I used the word 'experiment' light heartedly in this reply. Name of his first teacher = 'Ipad'.
Kind regards,
