Today’s teens are often mislabeled as lazy, unmotivated or disinterested. In reality, many are overwhelmed — emotionally exhausted by social pressures, academic expectations and the nonstop demands of a digital world. Gen Z is not disengaged; they are drowning in overstimulation, anxiety and isolation. As Lasallian educators, we are called to see beyond behavior and into the heart of what students carry. This session will challenge common narratives around youth apathy and offer a more compassionate, trauma-informed understanding of Gen Z’s struggles. Together, we will explore how depression and overstimulation show up in students’ lives, and how our presence, patience and empathy can become sacred bridges to healing.
