Thank you, Tessa, for that video. How heartbreaking. It's painful to imagine all the millions and millions of kids that lived through that torture.

Thank you, Tessa, for that video. How heartbreaking. It's painful to imagine all the millions and millions of kids that lived through that torture. It demonstrates so much for all the struggling young people I know. I cannot say that I know of one who has recovered yet. From anxiety, depression, severe stress, suicidality, to completely dropping out of school (High School and college). And that is only thinking about this country. I cannot cope with thinking of how other countries' young people have been affected.
We were all locked down for political reasons and I know it's harder on our youth. They miss their friends, socializing, doing the things that make them happy, being and feeling free. It's the adults who have caused the problems we have today and it's they who should fix them. Instead, they isolate us and alienate our youth from those they miss. And they abuse them by making them think it's their fault. It's not. It couldn't be. Young people just don't have the means, desire, or even the knowledge to ruin the country they live in. They don't even have a voice of their own, because they're praised for repeating the dystopian message they're taught and censored when they don't. Whatever they're going through now, it won't last. And when they become an adult, they'll be there for the rest of their life. I wish I could tell her, "be at peace, ignore those who hurt you, live your own life, and you'll be free and even happy again so you can enjoy your youth. The hard work comes much later, and you'll be prepared and ready for it. Be safe and stay strong. You are loved. That never goes away no matter where you are."
