Offering up your suffering for others
Dr Peterson, I hear you mention the intense suffering you have been experiencing the past 2 years and you comment that you don’t know what to do with it. As a Catholic, I was wondering if anyone had mentioned to you the option of offering up your suffering to God in reparation for your own sins, for the intentions of your loved ones or for the salvation of the souls in purgatory? A simple daily prayer like that gives you a purpose to combat and accept suffering, and a sense of control. Thank you.

Teenagers and leftism
What do you recommend for helping teenagers understand the downfalls of leftism especially with how hard it is pushed by faculty in high schools. With teachers actively promoting socialist/communist ideals how do we equip teenagers to handle it, while also avoiding having them feel like us, as parents, are "indoctrinating" them with our ideals, which can often drive them straight towards the thing we were trying to avoid to begin with.
