I love the point of view the young creative minds have a the society us adult
have made for them to live in the good and the bad. It saddens me sometimes to
my soul that some adults have been such negative influences on our teenagers
today. I believe we as adults should do everything in our power to talk with them
when we have a opportunity to do it with positive reinforcements. They are supposed to
be our future not our demise. Teenagers are still judged by the color of their skin with more
brutally shown towards those of color then the ones who are white.
The percentage of black teenagers being pull over is higher than teenagers
that are white by the police. White supremacy in some states seems to be
on the rise since the election of our current president. We talk the talk of equality but
won’t walk the walk for equality. We ignore the signs of trouble kids until it’s to late.
Often as adults we say one thing and do another.
Teenagers are flooded with false reality shows. Glamorizing celebrities who in
most cases could care less for them or their well being. Instead of promoting that
they should love them self’s. We show through social media they are better off
wanting and loving what someone else has. Children are often put in activities not
because the parent or parents have their own interest in heart. It’s the parents
way of reliving the dream or goal they couldn’t accomplish. ITS CALLED I HAD A CHILD
ONLY TO FULFILL MY DREAM SYNDROME! When our children don’t know how to handle
emotions sometimes, why is it easier for us to buy them something or run away and go cry
in hiding. Children and young teenagers are people not dolls or toys you turn off.
How about you cry with your child to show them it’s alright to show emotions.
How about making it a point to talk to them about how they feel each day.
You’re the one who wanted them they didn’t ask to come here. Let’s face it
we have failed our children through our prejudice attitudes, racism, judgemental point
of views and putting our own interests in front of theirs. It’s time for a serious change. Want our children not to be stuck on stupid then don’t be stuck on stupid ourselves.
