It bothers the fuck out of me that adults try and take away creative outlets for kids, but would never think about doing that when it comes to sports.

All little kids are actors. All little kids are story tellers. All little kids are musicians. All little kids are creative, are artists.

And to see it just slowly be torn from them so they can “grow up” and settle for whatever life the adults want for them, is heartbreaking.

my mom trains teachers and one of her specialties is creativity, and when you give kids creative outlets their performance in everything else improves, including sports. when denied creativity, their grades go down, they act out more, they even have behavioral problems at home, mental illness flourishes- because creativity is a necessity for a developing brain. developing brains NEED that creative outlet.

being told exactly what to do every single day for 12 years genuinely results in different brain chemistry because it creates the same kind of fear that occurs in people like me with ptsd. over time, having others control every aspect of your life results in ptsd. we see it in prisoners and we’re seeing it in students now. our school system requires a lot of rigidity, so the only relief a child may have is music or art class and those two seemingly useless classes can make a world of difference.

in denying kids creativity, we’re literally destroying them. we’re giving them anxiety and depression at alarming rates, and setting them up to fail because we think sports are better than art and music.

And then because we took away that creative freedom, when you let us out of a rigid structured environment to fend for ourselves , we don’t know how to handle it .

I graduated trade school a few years back and I’m STILL struggling to find direction in my life because suddenly NOBODY IS GIVING ME INSTRUCTIONS

Do you know how jarring that is to a kid who’s spent the last 18 YEARS being told how to do ,what to do, when to do ?!

I was raised to follow directions,not to think for myself.

When you take away the rules and rigidity from someone who’s programmed to think that way , it’s like you’ve flipped their world upside down.

To this day I’m more comfortable with other people deciding my life than making my own choices because THAT’S HOW THEY RAISED US

Social scientists have been screaming this for years and we’re ignored on purpose. They know this and how it is and that’s why they do it. The people who decide what’s “good” for children, who decide how prisoners should be treated, who decided how hard employees can be worked, want us to be tired and directionless and without initiative so they can herd and control us and we won’t fight back. It’s calculated, and it’s malicious, and it’s not hyperbole or conspiracy theory. It’s a known quantity and it’s very purposeful.
