Whats Happening To Our Children?

Let me ask you a question. Does anyone seem to care that some our children are growing up to be so angry that they actually commit murder? Does anyone see that awful commercial on Girls Gone Wild? If that commercial came on and I saw “MY” daughter lifting her blouse in front of thousands if not millions of people I would be devastated. Someone told me once when I brought up this subject, “Oh, they’re just being kids.” JUST BEING KIDS? WAKE UP! This is our future. This is their future and this is our grandchildren’s future. Aren’t you worried? Even Scared? I am!

Computers, Ipods and all of the other electronics out there are raising our children. I see a commercial for a program teaching little children on the computer. Gee! Lets think about this.  What about human contact?  Does anyone besides me see this? I think it is sad that we don’t have time for our children. I remember playing jacks with friends or hop scotch or hide and seek. I remember children being read to before they went to sleep by their mom or dad. I can go on and on and believe me - on this subject it is not hard to do.

Do you realize that children don’t even verbally communicate with one another? Children are on their cell phone.  Right now you’re thinking “Well thats human communication”! No no no! They are text messaging each other…

Even radio has changed. I remember when radio was so much fun. You had a DJ that spoke to you, the listener. Legand (Wolfman Jack). Kids would stop to listen to this man. He would in his own way give kids a human voice and some how he totally connected to those kids. Kids would call his station to request a song and when he aired it he would dedicate it to someone from someone and say something to make that kid feel like Wolfman knew them and understood them. DJ’s used to actually talk to you. As if he/she was right there with you. That, my friends, is a skill. Today, voice talent either talks to each other or just does commercials. Today, I never feel connected  to a radio talent. In fact, they irritate me. Even radio isn’t about connecting with our kids. It is all about  (money, money and more money).

You don’t have time to talk to your kids because you have to work to put clothes on their backs. (money, money, and more money). This is because our children of today demand to wear designer clothes. $130.00 pair of designer sneakers. Oh yeah, and of course, our children need to go to salons and pay $100.00  or more to get their hair styled. (money, money and more money).

Children killing children, children killing their parents. etc, etc.

Please, if you are a parent, single or not, please think about this.

Maybe, all this money, lack of human contact, etc. is not working. At least think about it.

You might save a life!
