After a nice hot shower, I believe I have found 10 minutes of clarity tonight in which my head is clear enough from allergens (damn you spring time!) to form rational thoughts. So, here's my blog topic tonight: Parenting.
Pretty much my main question here is, what the hell is wrong with parents these days? I keep hearing about all these "parties" and "get togethers" that parents host for their teenagers every weekend. As if that isn't bad enough they then proceed to not even supervise them. Let me tell you, when I was in middle school I never was allowed to have a girl over or go over to a girl's house. And then in high school in those situations they were always heavily supervised.
Are that many parents totally oblivious to what their kids are doing during these little gatherings where 4 girls invite 12 boys over to their basement on a Friday or Saturday night? Parents are supposed to prevent these kinds of situations and be role models for their kids. Instead with T.V. and video games being the modern day babysitter, it's safe to say role models for kids are rather poor. Teen pregnancy and STD rates are on the rise as well as young alcoholics and drug abusers. Parents are supposed to teach their kids safe practices and the potential consequences of such actions, but it just seems like many don't care at all anymore. It's sad really.
All I can really say, as my sinus pressure and allergies are beginning to build back up is... Many parents nowadays are complete and utter failures at their most important job, raising sensible offspring. Oh, and for those of you (kids) who choose to engage in such activities, I hope you enjoy sharing herpes and mono with each other. I hear both are a lot of fun. Kudos!
"How do I teech deese keeeeds?!" ~ Eric Cartmanez (South Park: see image below) After spending a year working full-time at a middle school and talking to many students about a multitude of things. I decided to start a blog regarding life lessons/skills that teenagers need to learn that they don't necessarily learn in school. I'm here to provide hopefully useful information to you all based on whatever I feel like ranting about or by request by my readers and followers. Thanks and enjoy!
