Parents teach their children to believe in God, but not to believe in themselves, They give their children phones, but they don't teach them how to communicate, They tell them to clean their room, but not to clear their mind, They teach them how to ride a bike, but not how to meditate, They get their children new videogames, but don't teach them playing with people's feelings is not okay, They teach them not to talk to strangers, but not how to speak up for themselves, They pay a tutor for their children so they can get good grades, but when they show signs of depression they don't get them a therapist, because "you're still a kid, you don't need it, it's all in your head anyway". And then, we wonder, why kids nowdays are so messed up.

Messed up kids
Parents teach their children to believe in God, but not to believe in themselves, They give their children phones, but they don't teach them how to communicate, They tell them to clean their room, but not to clear their mind, They teach them how to ride a bike, but not how to meditate, They get their children new videogames, but don't teach them playing with people's feelings is not okay, They teach them not to talk to strangers, but not how to speak up for themselves, They pay a tutor for their children so they can get good grades, but when they show signs of depression they don't get them a therapist, because "you're still a kid, you don't need it, it's all in your head anyway". And then, we wonder, why kids nowdays are so messed up.
