This, oh my God. The public schools in the US are a complete joke, but by far the worst offender is the fact that high schools don't try to encourage teenagers to see themselves more and more as autonomous adults, and trying to really get the message that they will be "free" soon, and what it means to be free and to start making your own decisions. I really could have used this type of training as a neurodivergent.
I'm in my 30's and I still don't feel like an autonomous adult
this society is absolutely wretched about allowing people to have agency in their own fucking lives. the housing / cost of living crises gotta be fucking a lot of people up.
