In the last few years, a lot of parents have struggled with children having bad thought patterns that lead to mental health problems. Including me.
I am fine with my kids disagreeing with me politically. I encouraged them to explore the world, and encounter different ideas. I didn't realize the full extent of what they were encountering until the general mental health trends showed up in my house.
A lot of the same bad ideas that are spreading on social media, are also rampant at college campuses. My son is required to take courses that promote ideologies which both of us see as being tied to becoming suicidal and depressed.
And then people like you show up and laugh at people like me for being concerned about the ideas that our children are being indoctrinated with. Next time, do you want to be the one to pick your daughter up from a psych ward after a suicide attempt? How would you like to get a call from the FBI about the self-harm video that your child posted to TikTok?
I've had to deal with both of those things. The next time you feel tempted to laugh, put yourself in my shoes. Ask yourself what I should think of your laughter.
lol. Is this for real? This is an adult in a democracy who needs to develop their own opinions about politics. This is so weird...
The idea that belonging to another mainstream political group is bad and prohibited for your child is just not ok at all.
