why are young people unhappy? why don't they socialize more? why are kids always on their phones? why don't they go outside?

worked just fine for eons, because they’ve done just that,
or they’ve done just that, and it’s why we’re all so fucked.
Like, I'm sure little Timmy would love to hangout w/ his friends at the local park/mall if we hadn't torn them down or effectively criminalized them existing outside alone.
...elsewhere."
And honestly, he may not be the first, idk.
Also most cops were jocks who were handed good grades without having to earn them.
Why indeed
It was SO worth it
But what do I know, I live in a third world country where teens lack the Freedom™️ to be forced back to school against their will
Senior skip day was a thing for us. Originally I'd been apprehensive and i can't remember what made me come around. Maybe the GF at the time proposing a little camping trip?
And then they wonder why those places are dying
What?!?
I'd ask "what will they do, come and check the house?" but deep down I already know the answer.
“Don’t care, put your hands on top of the car!”
I never had a senior skip day because the school found out and made the teachers give us tests that day. Every other class before us had one. I’m still bitter and it’s 30+ yrs later. Let the kids have their harmless fun.
Teachers and parents know about it and turn a blind eye b/c it’s at the end of the year.
So everyone showed up on the appointed day.
Instead, there were countless rolling absences over the following week.
Only related thing is the school might block you from taking the leaving cert in their building if you get expelled.
Who actually feels helped by that?
I... just...pfff
And Florida defines "habitual truancy" as *fifteen days* in a school year, *without knowledge of the parent.*
I understand the concept of copaganda—looks better to be enforcing school attendance than beating people to death—but who is this going to fool?
But, uh, aren't seniors by definition over school leaving age?
