- BACK TO SCHOOL SINCE 2013
have lived with both partial and total orphans. I have employed married and single mothers, married and single fathers, and worked closely with Gen Zs from different backgrounds.
As I worked on myself and tried to understand the challenges around us, I realized that many people carry deep trauma, pain, anger, rejection, and bitterness. Sadly, what is not healed is often transferred to others. People bleed on those who never wounded them, creating toxic environments at home, in school, and at work.
Today, many young people are under immense pressure. Social media has sold them a dream of instant success, instant fame, instant wealth, and instant gratification. 📱💰✨ They want to be influencers, celebrities, content creators, entrepreneurs, and millionaires overnight, forgetting that most of the people they admire spent years—sometimes decades—building their brands, businesses, and careers.
Some are admiring lifestyles and empires that were built before they were even born, yet they want the same results without the process, resilience, discipline, sacrifice, and patience that created them.
At the same time, there is a growing narrative that education is useless. But education is not only about employment. Education is about knowledge, critical thinking, innovation, problem-solving, and becoming useful to society. 📚🧠
An educated mind reasons differently. Education opens perspectives, develops discipline, and equips individuals to create opportunities instead of waiting for them.
As we discuss school unrest, indiscipline, and the increasing cases of schools being burned, we must look deeper than the flames. 🔥
This is not just a school problem.
It is a parenting issue.It is a peer pressure issue.It is a social media influence issue.It is a mental wellness issue.And yes, in some cases, it is also a school environment issue.
Perhaps the time has come for parents, teachers, religious leaders, mentors, and policymakers to sit at one table and ask ourselves a difficult question:
What kind of generation are we raising, and who is shaping their minds more,us or the internet? 🤔
The future of our children depends on the answer.
