Spring is time to balance and collection and exposure data. AND The data are made, not chat, assumptions. On the facts you can use interpretations, we can overcome ideological positions, use them to relaunch them against the opponent, but first of all the data dispel reality on the face like the April wind.
We know from Istat that demographic winter will not lead to a new spring, given the current situation, daughter of social, economic, but above all cultural discomfort. There is no longer a basin of sufficient parents to support the growth of the birth rate.
First data. Last year 93,140 young people left our country, an escape, 30% more than the previous year.
Second data. But the most disturbing numbers come from ESPAD/CMNR study. The violence of minors is increasing And it is wrong to diminish it by focusing from time to time on individual news cases. Almost half of the students interpeered (20,000) participated in a fight; one out of nine to episodes of group violence, it goes bullying or intimidation, Having a weapon and considering used to use it is considered normal for 4.6% of interviewees. To violence, evil we get used to it and we are not talking about individual psychopathologies, but of any children, not necessarily children of difficult environments. Guys and girls, because the cases that involve them are growing: was it conceivable that your 14 -year -old partner scarks your face with a lighter, imposing you the V brand of revenge? Was a thirteen year old a friend a friend who did not pay a sweatshirt? Under 14 years old it is not even possible to report the attacker, Just ask families for economic compensation. It is called impunity and impunity feeds fear, but above all recalls other impunished violence. From 14 years old, there are many distinctions and acquittals, but at most you end up in child prison, and despite the efforts and intentions of many volunteers, chaplains, managers, the propensity to violence grows and even more sick partnerships are created, without any re -education.
On the contrary, new flocks are created that push to aggressiveness. The social networks swallow, incite, creating groups of consensus and spur. Cyberbullying is underestimated, yet it downloads responsibilities, By spreading in the ether it spreads hatred and mortification, pushing to extreme acts. Suicide is the second cause of death Among teenagers, self -harm has increased by 60%. We respond too ease trying to interpret the facts that upset the Sicumera of adults: Covid, war, disillusionment on the future … Yes, Covid marked many young people by removing freedom, even too much, sowing anxieties and suspicions. However, the war affects very little, even if they are just adults who die on the east front. The future? It is much more afraid of children of distant countries, who also grasp every opportunity of life with will and love. The truth is that the points of reference, solid and reliable, realistic but tense to hope are missing from us. And that in the world in which we cared, at the calduccio, the soul is increasingly missing.
