As a parent, I read as far as these parts:

Most parents are not mentally or emotionally ready to raise a child. They don't have the skills to properly care for children because their parents didn't either. Most of them aren't even stable enough to fully care for themselves. Today's parents spend more time on cell phones than they do talking to their children, they're doped up on something, they're workaholics, they shame and abuse, they don't know how to cultivate, they don't promote proper nutrition in their children, they aren't aware, they can't properly interact with their spouse, and they're getting worse.

When a child wakes up in the morning he watches cartoons, on the way to school he watches more cartoons on the TV in the car, he is subject to mental and emotional abuse at school (assuming he goes to a public school), eats a non-nutritious lunch, and spends more time on his busy work than he does on his education. When the child gets home at night he does more busy work, plays video games, and watches TV. If he's from a middle class or wealthy family he probably plays sports and goes to practice, but bounces from sport to sport with no cultivation of perseverance or loyalty.

By this point you've described a stereotype of bad parenting and claimed it applies to 'most' parents. Nonsense. Apart from feeling vicariously insulted, I'm unlikely to want to read further when the first part of your post is so clearly exaggerated and obviously setting up a straw man for you to subsequently knock down. Nor am I likely to recommend it to anyone else (not in a good way, anyway).
You may have some good points to make, but if you hide them in a forest of exaggeration, hyperbole and spleen very few people will take the time to find them.
