Acharya Prashant explains that the anxiety and mental health issues seen in teenagers are not sudden problems but the result of years of conditioning. He states that it is not complicated to understand. From a young age, children are conditioned by their environment—parents, teachers, and media—to believe that the world is everything. This belief is not innate but is imposed upon them. The solution is not to try and convince them of an untouched inner point but to stop educating them with these inverse doctrines. When a child is taught that the world is everything, their inner space, their heart, also becomes ruled by the external world. Since the world is fickle and our real nature is stability and permanence, a bewildering dichotomy arises. The heart, which should be a place of serenity, becomes a place of fickleness, mobility, and unpredictability, which manifests as stress, tension, and anxiety. This conditioning happens continuously through subtle and direct messages, such as seeing a parent's distress over a lost opportunity or their subservience to a boss, which teaches the child that the world is all-powerful. The responsibility to prevent this indoctrination lies with parents and teachers. They must cultivate a "healthy contempt for the world," which means not allowing the world to mean too much to the child. Love should be absolute and not made conditional on worldly achievements, such as winning a gold medal. When love is tied to external events, it teaches the child that their self-worth is dependent on worldly validation, which is a toxic lesson. The effects of such conditioning in early childhood often surface during the teenage years. The essence of spirituality is to remain "world-proof." This does not mean being antisocial, but having the right relationship with society, where you value it but do not allow it to penetrate and rule your heart. The heart, which is the pure Self or Atma, must be protected. Introducing children to the right kind of wisdom literature from a young age can serve as an armor against worldly pressures. The goal is to understand that one's worth is not determined by external things like a pair of shoes, but by the untouched core within.
