That is a generalization tbh

Who do you think is better at basketball? A 7 foot tall woman or a man with dwarfism?
You are talking about exceptions, not rules in an unlikely scenario.

They say weak generations create strong generations and strong generations create weak ones
BS

We are all, strong generation. There is no such things as weak humans.


After years and years of being out of practice with skills that don't require significant amounts of mental (not necessarily physical) concentration, you wonder why these kids start developing ADHD...
That's not why people develop ADHD.


Let me guess here. Is it about gender right issues
I have an issue with people born with XY chromosomes playing in female sports.


When one bigots lives... another replace them.. FFS
Can't we have a simple nice place here ?

which once didn't even exist and the only reason it does now is because the people who worked their lives away so the future didn't have to.
No, its because leftist people fought politically to reduce work hours systematically.

Without them, we would still work like mules.

Kids are taught that they are the most precious, important person in the world and that others are evil if they don't bow to them. They don't have expectations for themselves but expect everyone to contribute to their livelihood and even be responsible for their feelings and mental health.
No, the problem is people thinking that we still live in a meritocracy and not understanding that we are raised with different type of capital that shape our chances in life and that can therefore create inequalities.


If someone offends you or hurts your feelings, that is more of your problem, not theirs.
but biology is a hard fact
you'll soon be arguing with a white knight


"a white knight"


Everyone should live their best lives regardless of what that is, but

You realize just because you call someone a bigot that doesn't mean it's true.

No, the leftist didn't do crap to change things. There used to not be free time because if you had free time you would die. You couldn't just run to the store and buy food or even clothes. You had to do it all. The idea is a lot more modern than you think. Innovations from those people who worked hard created it. That is how far removed the generation is.

No we aren't all strong generations. When you cry and get offended over words, you aren't a strong generation. Words are just words, which go back to my complaint about part of my generation. We taught people the words others call them have meaning or merit behind them, which has taught people to let others control their happiness and mental health.

Also you call yourself a feminist, so tell me what should people with XX do? Should they quit competitions, since by historical facts when they are put against XY they cannot win in most situations? We should just end women's sports. Or do you believe women with XX should lose spots and opportunities to those born with XY?

This goes back to why I really dislike white saviors. Which they are also the reason, my children will mark black on every form they fill out so they can gain that advantage they didn't earn.

Imagine believing free time did not exist and is therefore not natural 🀣:kaidowhat: @Zemmi please tell me what you've been smoking when you typed that.

Your understanding of history is limited to the past 200 years of US history.

Please visit some kind of group therapy, mental health facility or w/e and tell these mentally ill people that they are to blame for their own illness. I'm curious to see their reaction

You just twisted every word I said to fit a narrative you created on your own. Not once did I say mental illness didn't exist. You took me saying people allow others to affect their mental health and created that.

Do you think in the last 200 years people didn't have to work their asses off just to survive? Growing their food and making their things? My great grand-mother had to work with a baby on her hip in a field, just so her family could eat. There wasn't much room to help others when you would suffer for it. I could go into why that generation and the one before it had multiple kids because it was the only way to survive, but I would be here all day. Therefore, no, free time wasn't always a thing and something a person was born with. You could find outliers in the past of wealthy people, sure, but it wasn't a normal thing like it is for us today.

People do not have to work like they did only because of innovations to make work easier for people to where, people don't have to work from daylight to dark just to meet their bare needs.

I didn't claim that you said mental illness doesn't exist. You just twisted every word I said to fit a narrative you created on your own. You said it's their own fault.
Do you think in the last 200 years
My bunny STOP.

It's sad that NOT being a substance abuser is seen as an accomplishment these days. What do you think is responsible for the substance abuse crisis?
 
I am a big advocate for mental health. I would never suggest it wasn't a thing. I'm sure in this thread I have spoken out that I believe one of the biggest issues in the US is mental health care.
Most definitely. The US has a huge Mental Illness/Mental Disorder crisis going on and it needs addressing. Actual Changes and Actual Healing. Not for the "Muh Profit" margins.

There are lots of factors that contribute to substance abuse. I can only accredit my lack of it to my mother and father, who created an environment that made me capable of never turning to it.

That's not why people develop ADHD.
An immediately noticeable symptom of ADHD in kids would be inattention and impulsivity (hyperactivity could be a symptom as well), which manifests by certain kids having a difficult time concentrating on a specific task, or even "hyperfocusing" on a certain activity. This leads them to pretty much ignore any other task(s) that may be equally important.

Additionally, they might struggle with following instructions as well as being able to stay organized, which can impact their academic performance and social interactions with others. Engaging in activities that don't require the kid to focus for extended periods of time, such as watching videos instead of practicing the ability to read a decently sized chunk of text, fails to train the brain on how to focus effectively. While parents can have their child diagnosed and treated with medication, more often than not, training to deal with the downsides of having such a condition is the only viable solution for the kid.

Tl;dr: That absurdly short attention span of someone with ADHD will have to be trained somehow.

How do you suggest the mental health crisis be solved?
If I knew an answer, I would tell you what that was. I just know I hate seeing people suffer from it and am tired of burying friends to it.

I think big pharma plays a part in the problem. The creators of the opioid crisis.

ADHD meds are dangerous and no real solution

You know the saddest part of these discussions. We all agree on so much, but most people feel like they have to fall in line with the narrative their side says, despite what they truly believe.

We all want affordable health care. We all want livable lives for everyone. The list goes on and on.

Most people obligation to their side prevents meaningful change. That is why I only support ideas that I agree with and not those from a "side"

The answers are somewhere in the middle, but each side wants their extreme sides. I often wonder if this is by design.

Probably because of differing Social issues etc... Somethings, like you said most people probably share sentiments but in other area's we do not.

When I was younger I was diagnosed with ADHD. Took the med's and years later. I definitely do not have it now.
I was too.

I wonder if I still do, or if the new age of never facing being bored created it. I once could tolerate silence time with nothing to do. I'm a rural American growing up, they didn't offer internet where I lived. Now I find myself having to have something constantly going on and not just one thing, but multiple things which makes it hard for me to focus on a single task.
