This is an article written by a young girl about a friend of hers. It’s from the blog, “Parents with Inconvenient Truths (PITT)”. At the end, she asks these questions:
Why are children medicalized for expressing negative emotions?
Why is there so much abuse/assault against women in modern relationships?
How does pornography addiction or exposure, or hyper-sexualization generally, influence the mental health of girls/women, and men/boys? *including art/anime?
When did we normalize putting children on prescription drugs?
Is a person under the influence of SSRI’s capable of weighing the emotional impacts of important medical decisions?
Do we need to take media addiction (TV, phone, etc.) more seriously?
When did “experts” begin to usurp Parents in family matters?
I think these questions are vitally important.

As it says in the linked post, “Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised. The internet had replaced the personal diary, putting children’s imaginative play into the public interactive sphere.” Those of us who grew up before the internet — we had enough time to get rooted in the real world before we had the chance to go online. We can more easily keep the online world in perspective. For the new generation, when “children’s imaginative play” and their very selfhood exist and develop in “the public interactive sphere”, that selfhood is open to being infiltrated by toxic idea-systems while it’s still forming; the next step is monetizing it. Once a young person starts to medically “transition” and the body’s natural development is destroyed, he or she will be dependent on hormones and medical interventions for life. There’s a lot of money to be made from that.
Do we need to take media addiction (TV, phone, etc.) more seriously?
I’m starting to think a lot of the internet should be treated like alcohol or drugs — young people’s access to it needs to be strictly limited until their personalities have developed enough to maintain a sense of selfhood separate from the world of social media and toxic idea systems. Right now all this stuff is inundating their minds before they even know who they are.
The pornography issue is a good example. A ways back I was writing a post on the subject and felt obligated to look at a few porn videos to make sure it’s really all that bad. I was completely repulsed. The idea that young guys are growing up thinking that that’s what real sexuality is supposed to be like is horrifying.
I am constantly amazed at parents who insist that they “have” to give their kids a smart phone, they “have” to let their kids have a computer in their bedroom, because of “privacy”, as if kids have any right to privacy, as if kids have any rights at all within the family unit, as if the parents have no authority at all.
Part of the problem with parents ceding their authority to outside influences is that they willingly do so. They willingly give their authority to the internet, to the schools, to psychiatrists, to their own kids. They don’t seem to trust themselves at all. Perhaps because they are themselves medicated & have been since they were children, thus they see nothing wrong with medicating their children.
My son will be thirty in six months. When he was young, he was bored in school, like so many intelligent youths are, & he was diagnosed with ADHD & put on Adderall. He hated the med & I told him to not take the medication. He never did. As he grew, he was surrounded with youths, male & female, who were similarly diagnosed & medicated with ADHD medications. These are the parents who are now unable to say NO to the transing of their children. They see nothing wrong with the medicalization of their children, because they were also medicalized. Many of these parents are still on ADHD meds, as well as other medications.
Being medicated should not be normal. Whether the problem is AHDH or bipolar disorder or a bad back, there are other ways to deal with these issues other than medications. I am not saying that medications are not always warranted. But it seems to me that to doctors (& parents) are taking the easy way out.
