College Children | Delayed Adulthood
College is for children because it prolongs childhood. American universities have a huge party culture. Students drink alcohol, do drugs, and “party” constantly. While this may seem fun, the party culture delays adulthood. In college, students avoid responsibility and remain passive. They wait to be told what to read and what to learn. By the time they graduate at age 22 , they are still passive children. Even at this age, many struggle to make their own decisions.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. By delaying college, students gain confidence and real world experience. When they return to college years later, they are confident determined adults. This is a faster way to achieve greater success.

War on Boys In Schools
The Schools’ War On Boys must be stopped. Boys are naturally energetic. They are naturally rambunctious. They love physical and rough play. Boys love to be outdoors. They love running and can run, and run, and run, and run all day long. But this energy is hated by the schools. Schools want passive students. They force boys to sit in chairs for hours. They force boys to listen to a (female) teacher talk on and on and on and on; day after day after day after day. Some boys adapt. They become weak “pleasers”. Others resist and are labeled hyperactive, ADHD, learning disabled, oppositional defiant… or some other psychobabble disorder. In the USA, many are now being drugged. This is child abuse. This is a war on boys.
