Teenage Depression ~ The Dub Chronicles

Teen depression today

I have had the honor of friends reaching out and having me speak to their 14 year old boy.  They believed his respect for me would somehow elevate him; and a one and one between us occurred

We were both uplifted

His elevation allowed mine to become even more enhanced

I’m fitter now because on top of a couple of pointers, I insisted he start working out.  I caught a glimpse of him a few times since, and he is doing his thing.  I stopped missing my workouts... lmaoooo

Little man was going through a situation wrought with the type of violence no child needs to be living with, nowhere to turn and no one to turn to, his depressive state was evident

This is only one example

Many teenagers today are facing this “crisis” of a pandemic

With everyone around them on heightened alert, raw terror and anger, no school, no sports, no gyms, our children / teenagers are being sand blasted with it all

They are not yet equipped with the living knowledge that humanity moves on to its next crisis.  Or that their own 201,458th crises are still coming and what they currently lack is that knowledge

Sometimes, speak to your friend’s children or have uncle, auntie whomever, reason with a youth, whomever they feel a vibe with

Some of us will blame the government because they themselves have zero intentions of taking on the responsibility of their / our own children

We are all struggling

That’s the truth but we gotta let the youths know, we have made it through many struggles and this is another one and no matter where it ends up, we will be through this too... and another crisis is on the way

Help out our youths

The government?

Ok

This one is truly on you / me

I’m NEVER suggesting this fixes teen depression

I’m saying I have seen direct positive result based on direct contact, enough times of positive feedback, to not share such thoughts and hope others use it around millions of children... or just the one who is thinking of suicide

Help where you can

Gil Scott-Heron ~ Storm Music

Through the years, I have come to know that Gil Scott-Heron’s father, a Jamaican was the first black man to play for the Glasgow

Celtic in Scotland back in the 40s or 50s

So during his jazzy, bluesy, funky, hip hop life, he had to touch a reggae tune

He called it “Storm Music”, saying there was no music like it in the whole wide world

This funk, jazz hip hop innovator

Listening to this song, you know exactly what he means

There is a reggae language and then there is an every other language
