More students have anxiety (FIVE
TIMES AS MANY) as they did during the Great Depression of the 1930’s. (USA TODAY, 12 January, 2010)
Materially this generation has
more
fantastic “things” than any in
history.
What seems to be lacking? A genuine reason for living in this world
of STRESS.)
What can we do about it?
As starters, those of us who are
adults (chronologically) could MAKE time to talk to young people about topics
like these:
1.
The origin of the political freedom that we have
in this nation. Consider the significance of our pledge of allegiance… the
Declaration of Independence …
the Constitution.
2.
Encourage the reading of the New Testament book
of Mark to see in the example of Jesus the meaning of courage, discipline,
greatness and hope both in this world and the next.
