I wanted to start with two arguments people are making with kids that I find to be excuses for those in our society who are morally bankrupt.

1. “These kids committing suicide had issues before lockdown and would have killed themselves anyway.”

I have two counter points.

1. We know that isn’t true. Surveys, including from the CDC, show us that juvenile suicide ideation is up almost 150%. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/11/23/covid-pandemic-rise-suicides/%3foutputType=amp
Many of these kids weren’t “troubled” before.

2. Let’s say it is true that they were all “troubled” and lockdowns pushed them over the edge. Well couldn’t we make the same argument about covid deaths? A high percentage of those who die from covid have “troubled” health. So why is ok to sacrifice our kids with “trouble”

But not the elderly?

2. Next argument that angers me is “Kids need to make sacrifices and they are too soft to do it”

When was the last time we shutdown schools for almost a year? When was the last time we shutdown kids activists for almost a year? When was the last time we bred fear into people so much they don’t let kids play with each other?

We haven’t asked them to make “sacrifices” We have destroyed everything they know.

These are their developmental years. All of this stuff is so crucial. They are “resilient”, to a degree. This is an extreme degree. Adults tell themselves this to

Comfort their own inability to make the morally correct decisions.

Who cares if kids had it harder in the past. Yes, me growing up in 1980s was much easier than the 1880s, before if you destroyed everything I knew there would be huge amounts of damage done.

We must get kids back to their normal lives. @DrKristenW @kylamb8 @RMConservative @justin_hart @EWoodhouse7 @vlal42 @ifihadastick @HumphreyPT @jhaskinscabrera @classdisrupti0n @elenfilippatos @nosmhnmh
