Really well written, and a lot of stats I wasn’t privy to before. You can definitely feel the apathy and point it out in parents you see around, but it’s nice to actually see it put into words and numbers.

Thank you. It's a sentiment I've felt for a long time and one that is long overdue for a dismantling. Children are gifts from God to be cherished and celebrated, and we have not done our duty and obligations to protect them.

Nice article. Trying to diagnosis and prescribe remedies and solutions to problems that have built up over the decades is no easy task. The part that resonates most to me is the medication of children which has lasting impacts into adult hood. Both Europe and North America have this issue of medicating first before technique to cope. Even when people are medicated they don’t seem to ever be taught how to cope. A never ending cycle of excuses given despite having a problem diagnosed. One might connect this to being apart of a lack of healthy family environment since medication is easier than a broken family finding coping mechanisms to manage things.

The over medication of people in the states is something I definitely want to dive in to more in the future. I've been sitting on this topic for like a month and just wanted to get past it. While I do think that is relevant, it is worth focusing solely on later. I wanted to keep this article clear and concise.
