Remaja kebahagiaan dikongkek dan benih

The attention span of the younger generation is shorter than that of a gnat. Instead of being brought up by their parents, they are weaned on electronic devices and social media. This affects the brain, and is akin to being locked up in a room full of slot machines that constantly need fed. The saddest part is that even those places in which full fledged attention is needed most - like recovery meetings, are affected. In spite of the rules and constant warnings, the younger guys reach for their phones and start scrolling without even realizing it. We hear about this a lot from the meeting leaders, and we try our best to keep it at bay. The only other solution would be to take their damn phones away, which would make this place like a prison. We want these guys to not feel incarcerated, but to knowingly and willingly participate in the improvement of their behavior.
