Here's a much better one for Gen Z's growing-up era, by Millennial Demi Lovato:
Please, father
Put the bottle down for the love of a daughter
...Lied to your flesh and your blood
Put your hands on the ones that you swore you loved
...So young when the pain had begun
Now forever afraid of being loved
63% of girls told the CDC survey they were emotionally and/or violently abused by parents and household grownups, and frequently abused girls were 8.5 times more likely to attempt suicide and 27 times more likely to self-harm than non-abused girls. That's too rough a stuff for our debilitated mental health establishment and Surgeon General to handle, just like the explosion in grownup drug/alcohol abuse Lovato laments. Of course, the ideal Gen Z song would celebrate Gen Z girls going to college by the record millions, outcompeting boys and men in education, career fields, and activist leadership, and refusing to be defined by abusive families and the small number who harm themselves.
