What Drives Destructive Habits in the Youth of America Today?
Hey Satsmate Stackers,
We are seeing a growing number of young people become increasingly disillusioned about their future as time goes on. Many of the youth today are turning to drugs, alcohol, dopamine addictions, and more.
In this podcast, I discuss my thoughts on what drives the destructive habits of young people in America today, while also addressing potential solutions.
- You don’t have to look far to see that our youth has done many things that can be considered destructive
- Many of the youth are doing things to fill the void that are harmful to themselves in the long run
- Alcohol, Marijuana, Vaping, and Pornography
- Gambling, Binge Drinking, Substance Abuse, and Social Media Addiction
- Addiction to screens, video games, and electronics seems to be getting more extreme as time goes on
- For many youth, they see the cost as everything, the lack of opportunities, and many think I will just devolve
- Why work 50 hours a week, to not even get a fraction of what my parents/grandparents' generation had?
- Many even go as far as to have an existential nihilism, and just give up all altogether
- I think many give up and devolve because they don’t see a way up
- How can we fix this?
- I think we need better education, cheaper education, and more hands-on training at an earlier age
- We need people not to take the prescribed path that others have pushed onto us
- The freedom to choose alternate jobs, reject traditional ways that have been pushed on us
- Young people need hope, and some engage with these habits because of a lack of hope for the future or faith in themselves
- We need more religion, more third places, and more constructive uplifting habits
- More opportunities to learn, to grow, without paying an arm and a leg
