Children are taught in school that they are merely a combination of meaningless chemicals that evolved from another meaningless combination of chemicals. They are taught that they are just a lucky throw of some cosmic dice. They are taught that nothing in life is absolute, and that what is right for you might not be right for me.
As they grow up believing this, they develop the attitude that life is meaningless. Many young teens are already so tired of living a meaningless life that they try to get a thrill from alcohol, sex, and drugs. They soon find themselves with addictions, STDs and broken down bodies.
