LOSING OUR MORALS AND VALUES!!!!!

After watching the video clips titled FIVE MILLYAN DISGRACE I decided not to comment as nothing good would have been said. However, to my utter astonishment, I decided to do this article.

It would be gross injustice to categorize all children and youths as lacking in manners and morals, but the general trend would certainly suggest there has been a major decline among many of them.

Family values have changed dramatically in the past few decades, producing a crop of undisciplined teenagers and children who lack morals and manners as a result of poor training.

Times have changed and we now live in a predominantly OUTRAGEOUS society which is reflected in many young people.

Wow! The children of today do not have any morals compared to when I was a teen. Teens today seem to think they rule the world in a sense of being invincible. They are very loud, obnoxious, and have no respect for themselves or others. I have been in places where they yell, curse profusely and even fight adults. When I was growing up there was no way we could raise our voice at adults whether we knew them or not and our parents we just knew not to do it. It’s all part of how the children are raised. Today’s children are being raised by children so therefore they do not know how to act. The parents are still young and teach their children only what they know in their young minds. When children are taught at an early age, it sticks with them for life or until something excruciating happens in life to bring them back to reality.

It seems to be a vicious cycle today that more babies are having babies and getting lost in the shuffle of gangs, teen pregnancy, alcohol and drugs, sexually transmitted disease and criminal morality.

Where is The Respect?
Among our youth there is an alarming rate of disrespect and carelessness. It seems to be getting worse and worse. One of the biggest fallacies I hear is “Times are changing, things aren’t the same as they used to be.” While technology and trends are constantly changing and improving, the world has overlooked their parental responsibilities. While it is true our physical environment is changing, the moral values should remain intact. However, children talk in the presence of adults with openness and degradation as one might refer to as a “sailor’s mouth”.

So, how do we change this behavior? Parents should start being parents and stop acting as if their children are their bestfriends. Start being a mother and not a friend. To end i will quote my very own mother: “I am not your friend I am your mother”
