Half of Irish Youth Report Low Mental Wellbeing
In the emerald isles of Ireland, a storm is brewing, but it's not the kind that brings rain—it's a storm of youthful demands, swirling with the winds of optimism and a heavy downpour of entitlement.
The latest report from the National Youth Council of Ireland reveals a stark reality: half of the nation's young people are battling low mental wellbeing. But the solution, according to the youth? More government handouts, please.
The report paints a picture of young Irish women bearing the brunt of this mental health crisis, with their male counterparts somehow navigating these choppy waters with slightly better ease. Financial woes?
Nearly half are dissatisfied with their living conditions, with rent hikes biting hard. But the proposed solution from the youth isn't a call for more jobs or better economic policies.
It seems the younger generation has crafted an image of the government as a benevolent ATM, ready to dispense cash at the push of a button.
