A Generation Lost

Every day the American media blasts reports of pre-teen and teenaged violence. Papers report grade school kids getting expelled for threatening their teachers,and teenagers serving life sentences for drive-by shootings. Yet day after day parents are told disipline by spanking is considered child abuse and to tell a child "no" for any reason is creating a negative living enviornment. Parents are held at arms length of child abuse allegations anytime. Yet, we cannot understand why the parents lose intrest in parenting and the kids themselves lose intrest in life itself.

Society blames the kids. We never once look at ourselves to see why these kids are the way they are. Adult society has contracted the plague of disrespect: a vile disease that has caused us to lose respect for others, ourselves and the earth. With every new gadget that is invented, we lose touch with the natural world that surrounds us.

Unfortunately, we have infected our children with this same ailment. We teach our children that it is better to sue than to put much value in anothers word and reputation. We teach our children that if we have bad childhoods we can use it as an excuse to have no ambition for the rest of our lives.

Jesus Christ People! We have become a nation that would rather see conformity rather than originality. We are an it-is all-about-me-screw-everyone-else disposable kind of society. What the hell happened to us?

Unfortunately, our kids have gotten caught in the garbage disposal lives of their parents. The parents blame MTV, video games, and rap music. The same parents never admit that the reason their children are angry, low in self-esteem and running the streets at two in the morning is actually their own fault. It is always somebody elses.

I am a mental health associate. I work with teenagers. Recently, I have discovered that the world is truly a fucked up place. We are producing young men who are becoming sexual predators by the age of fourteen. We are producing young women who are caught up in the grossly unfair never-ending circle of lack of education, poor parenting, and poverty. We are producing children that have been in the system so long that they know how it works better than the adults who invented it. I help try to repair the devastation that irresponsible parents leave behind. Parents, who leave their children homeless and on the street at the tender age of ten Parents who put their needs over their childrens Parents who always blame other people for the destruction that their children cause in retaliation of neglect, abuse, and lack of their own parenting

It is these same parents that need to be the center of the attention when their children are trying to turn their lives around. I sit in awe everyday while I watch parental vampirism. It is as if the parents themselves would rather play the children against the very people that are trying to help them, causing the child to resist program after program -- further extending their own story of woe to anyone who will listen. The same parents seem to feed off of their own childrens misery, as if to silently say, my life sucked so yours will never be much better.

Politics and red tape keep these kids from ever reaching some sort of peace. But no one will ever admit it. Medicated teenagers are dropped on treatment centers doorsteps in the name of conformity to an idea that uniforms society and overlooks human nature. American society is producing a generation that is sick of trying live up to any expectation other than survival.

Am I angry? Absolutely!
