Lost as an Adult

Anymore children are being raised by the school systems.  However the schools are failing them.  They lack the proper training on how to provide your body with nutrition through cooking, and taking care of adult responsibilities.

 A lot of this could be addressed through home economics classes which I have heard have been removed from a lot of schools.  This article bring back home ec written by the Boston Globe discusses in great depth the issues this is causing.

When the children return home after being at school and they want something to eat they just go to the freezer and cook a microwavable meal.  Which works for children because they have healthy body's that can handle lots of processed foods.  To bad this trend continues into adulthood causing problems that can be attributed to obesity and malnutrition.  The adult body needs more specific vitamins and nutrients.

 But its not just the schools to blame.  Parents are now scarcely at home wanting to reach out and make a name for themselves in the world.  All the while neglecting to pass on responsible traits and life lessons to their children.

The media feeds into the problem with the constant advertising about making your life easier by buying fast food.  Or hiring out all of your labor services like housekeeping and landscaping.

All of these things keep young adults from walking into colleges or adult situations and being able to take care of themselves properly.  

Children/Adults don't know how to cook.  They don't know how to get a job and keep it.  How to set sleep schedules.  How to keep their living quarters hygienic.  How to fix their cars.  Manage their bills.  The list goes on and on and things are only beginning to get bad.

All of the normal responsibilities young adults from the past hundred years already had a good grasp of are nearly nonexistent in the privileged adults/children of today.

These inadequacy's can effect their relationships with other adults.  Making it hard for them to find life partners and even develop strong personal relationships.

With the advent of the internet the speed with which we can get things done is incredible.  Yet these kids parents are so enamored with themselves and their own success that they forget to take the time to work on the futures of the children that they are responsible for making.

With that being said take some time.  Slow down.  Look around think about what you are doing and how it will impact your future.  And never forget that the most valuable thing you can give another human is your time and your experience.

Thank you for reading.
