I'm in the process of helping some young people learn and self improve, and I've noticed a bit of a trend. It is especially hard for women to get used to the fact that all they've been tought is propaganda, and even when they realize some things they don't seem to be comfortable changing their beliefs too much. It would be cool to have some resources to help them out.

Reminds me of that voat "traditional femininity" Sub we once had
where married women (with children) would give advise to the rest of the unmarried hoes about motherhood (because that's literally the point of women, child-rearing, educating said children, arts and craft etc...)
Frankly if you want a good role model just ask our top contributor to our race (the lass with 9 or 10 kids, Momma something)

Thank you McNug and Golden for thinking of me.
McNug, I like where your heads at! I've also found this to be very true when trying to talk to young women. But have hope! A lot of them are now watching content on "trad wives" and even if they don't want to manage their own homesteads lol, they are more open to the idea of staying home and raising a family.
One thing that I've found helpful is talking to them about their own childhoods, what they liked, what they wish could be different. I'm a millenial so we often grew up with mom working and being a latch key kid. Being able to talk about how nice it would be if we could have had mom around and had more of an unhurried family life really resonates.
I'm reading a book now called "10 to 25" and it's about mentoring that age group. A big takeaway is that they're not selfish or dumb, but they can be rebellious because they desperately want to belong. If their family structure is weak, they'll try to fill that gap with peers. I think you could try to work this to your advantage; create young women's spaces where an older Titus 2 woman could help mentor them to be a good child of God (and by extension, a wife and mother), create young men's groups with older Christian males who can show the younger guys what headship, submission and leadership in the home looks like, create activities that bring these two groups together doing something fun and active that lets the men show off their physical abilities (hiking, ax throwing, even bowling).
The book also shared examples in the past of how they successfully brainwashed teenagers to stop smoking. Basically, you have to make it really uncool and gross that all their peers would shame them for doing, and/or you point out how "the man" (smoking, pharma... social media??) is the bad guy out to get their health, their money, their status...
So essentially, strong men to help lead them and strong women "village" to help support them as they go through it together.
This is a worthy endeavor, and I pray for you that the Lord will use your work to His glory and help strengthen and sustain you!
Thank you so much for all the info, I'll try to keep all of this in mind. Smoking is such a plague here it seems everyone believes it's impossible to relax without a cigarette.
though she seems be offline for a large chunk of the time, its definitely a good sign for a mother when she prioritizes her kids over random strangers on the internet.
