In this episode, Franchesca sits with Jeremy S. Adams, Author of Hollowed Out: A Warning About America's Next Generation as we discuss what teachers have known for a while- as adults we've produced a generation of children who are (at times) indifferent to the outside world. In his new release, Adams claims, "They rarely go to the movies. They don’t go to football games like they used to. Social gatherings of teenagers were once expected to be loud, boisterous, even a little bit rowdy. Teachers and parents now notice that when young Americans gather, silence frequently reigns—they aren’t talking to each other, not flirting, not engaging in eye-to-eye communication. In a particularly disturbing poll, 27% of millennials claim to have no “close friends.” Suicide rates, reports of debilitating anxiety, and episodes of self-harm have skyrocketed in recent years.
