Fear of a Blank Planet

There’s a growing problem in our world. It’s been on the rise for quite a while now. Why are suicide rates increasing the way they do? Kids are getting pumped with drugs because they are not mentally equal to the rest of the class. The constant pressure; of knowing if you aren't the top of your class you will never be successful. And if you aren't succeeding then you are failing. Sensationalist media constantly tells them that the world is fucked. No one bothers to tell them to look out the window and see that, through news reports of gruesome murders, and failing economy, outside your house it’s just another sunny day. Today's incompetent adults push kids like this because they need to be able to handle the world’s growing problems. There's no time to stop and breathe for them. No one tells them that they can be moderately successful and live happily. What’s wrong with the world to them? Everything. How can they change that? They can't. Upon all of this pressure, and all of these expectations, there is the hypocrisy of not letting today's youth be self sufficient, not letting them make mistakes that they would learn from. This over protection will not let them grow into confident or happy people. It’s like we’ve put them in this box that they must conform perfectly into, otherwise they cannot be happy. They have to take exactly the right steps, or they are a failure. Heck, they can’t even be happy with being a failure. Being happy is relatively impossible. Not even being happy, but just being content with who you are and the world around you is getting difficult. Happiness is a passing dream, a desert mirage. Don’t let the boy listen to heavy metal. He might start thinking for himself. Don’t let him stay at his friends house he might develop social confidence. Don’t let him play games, they distract him. Wait he’s not listening? He’s doing poorly in school? Give him some adderal, Maybe he will focus some more. We can’t possibly blame a failing school system that we put together.
Now this boy needs to take stimulants to keep him as mentally sharp as the rest of the world. He can’t possibly succeed without them. And if he doesn’t succeed then he will be a no body. If he is insignificant on a grand spectrum he feels worthless. Why are they so ignorant to his escapism? The poor boy feels like he is dying inside, and chooses to ignore all of his problems by playing video games, listening to loud music, and staying shut in from the entire world. He escapes into the very few things that the world is trying to take away. Everyone knows this isn’t healthy, but few realize that the alternative is death. The world has shut him away. He no longer can deal with it. There’s doctors trying to figure out what they can pump into him that will fix this, but it’s not him that’s made any errors. He’s just a kid. No longer innocent, but now a victim of a world who doesn’t know how to function.

Lunatics run this world. I’ve fucking had It.
