”Breaking Fragility: Are We Raising Wusses or Fighters?”

In this episode of 'Social Disruption,' hosts Farrah and Cheyenne tackle the controversial debate: Are we raising a soft generation? The discussion dives deep into several hot topics. They start with participation trophies and safe spaces, questioning if these practices are making kids fragile or if it's just a clash of old-school tough love with new thinking. They also address modern parenting struggles, the impact of social media on family dynamics, and the decline of physical education, offering insights into how these factors shape today's youth. The conversation touches on the importance of practical skills and the alarming number of jobless young men, as highlighted by Mike Rowe.

They also discuss the banning of games like tag in schools, asking if we're stripping kids of essential skills or protecting them. The role of emotional support animals, the impact of prescription medications on mental health, diet and gut health, and the elimination of academic honors like the honor roll are also explored. Farrah and Cheyenne stress the need for real-world readiness and life skills, especially in light of schools eliminating competitive elements.
