"I have three Gen Z kids and they have been hiding under their desks their entire school lives."

Pissed and motivated is good. But my heart aches at the damage done to their psyches and hearts from all they have lived through in their young lives. Today we call it PTSD, I guess. And I do not see how they do not all suffer from that.
Add onto the school shootings, Covid, worries about the environment, political riots, and growing up being judged on social media these kids have been through a lot.

When Sandy Hook happened we had kids that age. When nothing happened after that it was soul crushing.
I'm telling you these kids have lived through a ton of bullshit and the adult leaders doing nothing. They're pissed and motivated.
