Is Gen Z the “Weak” Generation?

Gen Z is being labeled as “weak,” but that couldn’t be further from the truth. In this video, I create the space to talk about what’s really going on with our generation — from growing up between two worlds (the real world and the digital world), to the mental health crisis, to why so many young men are becoming disturbed.

This isn’t about left vs. right. It’s about truth vs. lies. Good vs. Evil. I dig into how algorithms, schools, and culture have shaped us — and how Gen Z can reclaim our voice, fight back against the distractions, and start building a future that’s actually worth living for.

If you’ve ever felt like something is deeply wrong with today’s youth, or if you’re Gen Z yourself and tired of being misunderstood, this conversation is for you. Pretending everything’s fine won’t fix anything. We need to come together and move towards real solutions.
