  1. One child policy to reduce poverty homelessness

  2. It's the porn.

    Look we have to stop beating around the bush and say the simple but powerful things that need to be said.

    This correlation they're making with social media and tweets and Facebook posts, also coincidentally is the same time that endless completely free and available hardcore pornography has become available for every young preteen to watch for hours and hours and hours and hours.

    This is what has really damaged the brain wiring in this young generation, and skewed their whole idea of self image, physical intimacy and sex, and romantic love. It's a complete travesty, and we're not going to solve it by beating around the bush and blaming Facebook posts while not even mentioning the endless free hardcore porn that's being viewed even more.

    Hardcore pornography needs some kind of regulation. It needs to be behind a paywall that is not accessible to young youths. It can't be like this where it's just an endless ocean of free degrading porn for young kids to drown in. This is not sustainable and it's going to continue to fester in society until it's addressed and changed boldly and powerfully.

  3. When my grandparents were young, comic books and juvenile delinquency were blamed for destroying America's youth. When I was growing up, the blame shifted to television. Now social media is the villain. Seems like everything new that comes along gets the blame.

  4. YOU ARE REAL LIFE ICKOS AT ABC NEWS nazi speech every day from abc news and disney!

  5. Democrat politicians and democrat state media doesn't care about mental health. They create a hedonistic, godless society that enables mental illness. Then they work with pharma to get people hooked on pills that only makes their problems worse.

    There's no profit in a healthy populace.

  6. There parents can no longer afford to feed them and they are being told to change their sex, of course they are having issues. Thank you Biden crime family and Democrats for all of this mess!!!!!!

  7. No living in a corrupt capitalist nation does.

  8. Most destructive unnecessary invention ever especially Facebook. Personally if I had it my way I would abolish all social media, the internet has caused way more harm than good in this world

  9. Thats a question that merits investigation. But left wing media certainly does cause pain and mental struggle for many.

  10. Yes it does social media is bogus for kids to believe lies from others

  11. Stating the obvious here, it could be all the DEI propaganda that the democrats have implemented into all our schools, that they are using to indoctrinate our kids into their cult-like gender identity ideology. The mental health industry is culpable as well, and they all know it.

  12. Who cares?!?

    They are old enough to decide anyways.

    We are not their parents or their teachers. Let em sort it out. 😂😂😂

  13. That's an intervention of other country's religion.

  14. Social media is trash, it’s made our women whores and our kids stupid.

  15. (Daniel 9:27 was fulfilled in August 13 2023 also when the woman began travailing in birth in order to fulfill the time of the gentiles for the mystery of Revelation 12 to be completed, Daniel 12:1 next, three riders were released within 2020 and 2023. These words are true and worthy, he who has ears to hear let him hear.)

But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.”

And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”
