Kids these days don’t need to suffer, but a bit of hardship and discipline can be a good thing. I like the idea of some kind of mandatory year of military service, like they used to have, but not necessarily in the military, because that’s bullshit. You should be able to do other community services like cleaning public places or helping the elderly or check train tickets. It should also not clash with any study careers or anything. I’m not sure it’s feasible, I haven’t really thought this out exactly, but I’m sure someone’s willing to point out everything that’s wrong with this idea.
