  1. Stop ignoring the elephant in the room!
    Mental health problems in the children are a direct result of the chemicals they put in our food, and the propaganda they are filling their heads with!
    40 years ago we were all healthier, and we knew who we were, individually and collectively.
    Stop listening to the main stream media, and bought off blow hands like Biden and Fauci. They should both be charged with RICO!.
    There is more evidence than needed for a conviction.
    Stop ignoring the facts and perpetuating the lies!!!

  2. Kids need their sleep and not to have 8 hours of schooling, an hour of chores, and walking to and from school several miles each day in addition to a daily mile run in gym class. It's breaking child labor laws. Don't pretend to care about children and treat them like that.

  3. My 7 y/o daughter has PTSD from multiple hospitalizations related to being born at 25 weeks gestation. I noticed a few months ago that she seemed like she was struggling with her emotions, so I signed us both up for Therapy and it has really made a huge impact. We are both working through our trauma (her health problems and hospitalizations took a rough toll on me as well) plus studies show that children in Therapy respond significantly better when their parents go with them and get Therapy too. I highly recommend it, try Therapy before medications, the side effects of the pills just aren't worth it.

  4. Drs and Dems need mental help, let the children be children, stop pushing your evil agenda on the innocent, it shows how spineless and week you really are, when you go after helpless children!

  5. Kids needing help is from the passive aggressive push for decades from the far left.
    Now polls & research is showing these crazy left ideas mostly coming from far left liberal woman,
    Imagine that!
    Direct from their liberal universities, feeling so empowered in self righteousness, with there beta male by their side. Yuck.

  6. Adults on this post- "Stop saying to kids they're the opposite gender. It's not reality"

    Also adults- "Trump won and all 164 charges against him are a deep state conspiracy. He's not a criminal"

  7. God NO do not take your CHILD to mental health the governments have made sure mental health lie to your child too and convince them to be mutilated and put ON brain killer horror, moans ! Like some sick a$$ joke !!

  8. Whatever it takes to keep kids straight (literally). Remember folks… You are the parents and if they cant rely on you, well…. They end up jailed, dead, or a total fruit. And Whatever you do, keep them away from liberal influences.
    Talk to your kids, listen to them. Boys are boys, girls are girls… No in between.

  9. Get rid of computers, cell phones, and internet, then bring back heavy metal , 10 cent video arcades and roller rinks. I guarantee in one generation all will be good.

  10. (FACTS OVA FEELINGS). If Peephole wud Innerstand tha what Wee r Calling Mental Illness is Really just Adaptive Strategies for Mitigating Unsafey or it would Completely Change the Approach wee take regards to Mental Illness

  11. We are creating a nation of wimps with all this ‘mental health’ talk, and introspection. When I was a kid and came up against tough times or situations, you just got on with it. Later as an adult, when other aspects of life which were not so good confronted me, previous experience and the resilience learned gave me the tools to cope. The problem that a lot of kids have today is that their parents are no better than wimpy kids themselves so they don’t really have much support. What would really improve the situation is some really hard times coming back and that would hopefully bring the natural human resilience back and dispose of the weak-minded rest!
