Tommorows leaders, what are the teens of today going to do? Options

have you guys ever wondered what the teenagers think of the idiotic arguments the adults re having? also, have you ever wondered why we teach our children that violence is not the answer, yet the leaders of our country solve their problems with violence?

Yeah, it's a pretty silly world we live in. We have an army that trains people how to kill strategically and not feel anything, but yet we remove red pens in school and say that it gives children a terrible feeling about themselves.

We blame videogame violence for murders but never question the mental health of these children or do anything to the people who've bullied them.

We tell them that education is the most important thing in thier lives, but mock the child who does well and celebrate the child who's an athlete with failing grades.

We yell at our teenage daughters for wanting to be on birth control ,but wonder why they were foolish enough to get pregnat so young.

We deny people the basic right to die in this country but offer it as a service elsewhere.

We tell them that yelling isn't the answer, but we yell at each other every day without concern for the feelings of others. In fact dysfuntional families are glorified on t.v.

Hypocrits I suppose. People know better, but don't make an effort to BE better. It's easier to blame someone else for our own problems instead of admiting, "yes, I was a bad father. I neglected my son and pressured him to be like other kids which gave him the complex that he wasn't good enough and I didn't love him. I wasn't a good role model for him and I understand now why he is bitter and angry towards me." Nah, people deny it and either avoid that there is a problem or blame someone else. (often society)

We have a habit of distracting youth with toys, tv, video games and brand names while we argue in the background. We believe that they can't hear us, and marvel when they've grown into the man who neglects his son, cheats on his wife, does underhanded things at work to get a promotion and wonder how come they've turned into such a rotten person.



Silly...isn't it?
