It is because of the public school system And parents. School is to indoctrinate not educate. Schools do not teach how to think only recite and regurgitate worthless information in the grand scheme of things. School PREVENTS the growth and evolution of a young mind. Solitude and self introspection are shunned in schools. The very thing a child needs to foster self awareness and self esteem. Children are taught to think in the collective. Be part of the group/sheep. Throw in GMO foods that actually alter brain chemistry along with technology that does not bring humans together but only separates them. They are damaged . It is not their fault.
