What is our world coming to? |
14 y old boy stabbed to death on his milk round, 15 y old boy attacked riding his bike, attacker got the wrong kid! 9 y old boy tortured and burnt in a park, he's too scared to go outside. 3 teenage girls stabbed getting off bus. 20 y old father shot in front of wife and child. and most of these incidents are done by other teenagers. I just don't understand what has happened to the younger generation. i mean i'm only 23, but i get nervous around groups of teenagers. TEENAGERS, they should be at home doing their homework. not having a rant, just want others opinions on this. I think there are several factors at work here; absent fathers, a general lack of discipline, and parents acting as friends rather than role models. In addition, I truly beleive that we need to take our children away from the TV, away from the computer, and regulate what they've got on thier iPod's! I am not saying that television, music or the media are evil, nor do I support censorship in anyway. What I am saying is that parents truly need to be aware of what their children are watching from the earliest possible age. When a young child is exposed to the type of violence and gore that has become commonplace these days, he/she becomes desensitized not only to this violence, but to the overall suffering of other beings. That child is more able to inflict pain and even cause death without compassion or remorse. Every night on prime time news programs, I can almost guarantee that I will see at least one dead body. Or the video of a brutal beating. Our society releases DVD's and youtube clips for the sole purpose of watching people get gravely injured or killed. I see people watching these things yelling, "Whooaaa... that guy got f***ed up!" and laughing as someone gets blown apart by an oncoming train, or beaten to death, or shot in the face. Blood no longer makes people shudder. Life does not hold the same value to those who have been brought up to view it's loss as entertainment. Free speech, and freedom of the press means that we as a people have the right to release, broadcast, or say what we like; however, that doesn't mean we can't regulate what happens in our own homes. Step it up, people! Raise your children to be GOOD citizens, to be able to contribute to society, to care about people and animals! Take them outside and play with them. Make them try EVERY SINGLE extracurricular activity until they find one they like. Make them volunteer for charities. It's more difficult that way and they may not like you for it, but you will be rewarded by seeing your child become the type of adult we need more of. I am afraid that parrents have lost control in most cases now days. Spare the rod, spoil the child. When you grow old you would need support from the younger generation. IS it because your next generation couldn't be trusted? World is going back to pre-historic age?? Get these kids off Internet pornography and other sources of perversion. We need to step up agitation against pornography. Internet is the only difference between our generation (I am also 23) and these kids. The problem is drugs. I would bet the percent of drug related crimes is very very high. I was a wild teenager and drugs were very available then (late 70's mid 80's). I'm the mother of a 21 year old and during his time at school he would tell me of his friends doing drugs. when i asked him why he hung with them he said because if he didn't hang with them then there would be nobody to hang out with. Ice is very prevalent in our area and i suspect it is everywhere. It changes people. i'm glad i'm drug free now. Who knows what is going on? Rap? Single mothers? Growing up poor in a world at war?
