I am a teacher and I touch the lives of many children in my profession. The children I see today, sometimes in my classroom are different from my childhood friends, and my son's childhood friends. Children are affected by so much in their young lives, that some of the adults that surround them do not even notice the problems developing. A 10 year old should not walk around using profane language, as if it is the main ingredient of their vocabulary. They should focus more on what can I learn to be educated and make an impact on the world around me, instead of the latest shoes, technology, and clothes. Children should be free to enjoy life, by playing games with their friends, and learning the important lessons in school. That is not always the case, sometimes their home life is dysfunctional and they take it out on others, or they see friends suffer, and they fall into line with their bad habits. We need to promote positivity in our children, because they grow up to run the world. Spread the goodness that God has shown us, love one another, and not aim to hurt each other. The bible tells us that problems will arise, the question is not when, but how can I best handle the situation. Trust in God, he has given us free will, what will you do with it, what are you about?
