Great read! I was actually having a conversation recently along the lines of your last point. So many kids are growing up aspiring to be famous, it always happened but top three wannabe jobs now for 16-21 year olds is “influencer” 🤦🏻♀️ Anyway, for the genuinely underprivileged, who have lived on the poverty line and contended with no end of dysfunction in their childhoods, they are having the “you can be the next Marcus Rashford” rammed down their throats. Where’s the honest conversation for these people? Where is the assistance to help them understand that breaking away from poverty and dysfunction is enough and can (with hard work) lead to a good life? A life that is full. So many kids nowadays are going into adulthood without the skills they need to properly function. Especially those from households with drink and drug abuse going on. It’s tragic to witness and I can’t see how anyone can help put the brakes on this car crash 😔
Glad to have given you ideas. Rather than editing this piece, why not figure out how to incorporate them into your next article? Hope to catch up soon 🤩

Thank you for your comment :)
I did think the section on False Hope lacked some more depth and reading your comment made me realise there was a lot more I could have written!
Maybe I will edit later but already working on my next articles!
