Have you ever noticed how everything in life seems to be so, rushed? So streamlined in ways? When I was in high school, I remember the drill. Get up, go to school, get good grades, graduate. Oh, don't forget the extracurricular activities and work experience too! Young adults barely have room to breath anymore, let alone time to think about what they really want out of their life.

What is with the force-fed lifestyle choices? When I was in high school all my teachers did was push college and career choices on me like my life depended on it, and in a way it did. But what they didn't think about was how negatively a student's life can be impacted by being forced to choose a path that, in all honesty, they know nothing about. It can be years until a student realizes that the path they chose was all wrong, but by that point, the debt is piled up and they have no choice but to trek on and hope to get by as unscathed as possible.

All life consist of for young adults now is studying to work and working to retire. That isn't how life was meant to be lived! Life was meant to be enjoyed and filled with happiness, adventure and fulfillment of the innate desires that humans possess, not spent begrudgingly preparing for yet another long, sleepless night of homework and stress.

We now live in a world where desensitizing young adults and children to social abnormalities is perfectly fine, but a young adult offering hugs to strangers is something to treat unkindly. People forget nature, children have begun to develop antisocial tendencies at ages that shouldn't even know what social anxiety is, and young adults feel alone and helpless. This life was meant to be a good one and this world needs strong individuals to take the mantle of running society one day.

So why are we killing the spirit of our youth?
