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
Introduce your children to Gil Scott-Heron
