A better tomorrow?

Yesterday was an interesting day for our little unknown human. His young
and fragile mind took in some really captivating info from his X-Lecturer
about "Kids these days". You could say that most parents or should I use the
term "angry old folks" use that phrase when they are angry at their kids or
just annoyed by what they see kids do. I always get this term thrown at me.
This term has become like family to me since its being used all the time to me
and only me by my old lady. For example "kids these days are so lucky, they have
the freedom to go out and see a movie with their friends. During "my" time we
had to ask permission from our parents to see a movie, most of the time they would
reject us of that opportunity" just 1 of many quotes I hear from my old lady.
Sad right.

The meaning of kid is "young goat and young human". The meaning of the word
child is " A child is most often defined as a young human being (sproglet)
between birth and puberty, a boy or girl. The legal definition of "child" generally refers
to a minor, otherwise known as a person younger than the age of majority. "Child" may
also describe a relationship with a parent or authority figure, or signify group membership
in a clan, tribe, or religion; or it can signify being strongly affected by a specific time, place,
or circumstance, as in "a child of nature" or "a child of the Sixties". Maybe instead of the term
"kids these days" they should say children these days.

Its the year 2008, information is now traveling twice as fast or even 10 times faster of what
it used to be. Every second of the day somewhere in the world new technology is being created,
a new formula is being made or even a new scandal is happening. A mind of a child is like a
sponge, it absorbs information like a sponge. If the "in" thing is Britney then most of the girls
will act like Ms.Britney. Media is just to entertain us and gives us sights and info about other happenings around the world. I don't blame the media and I'm not pointing fingers ant anyone.
With kids being so smart these day, they should know about the "DO" and "DON'T" of the world.
They have all the power and freedom to access everything around them to get information. As
Stan "The Man" Lee created a powerful quote said "With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility".
It may be from a comic book but that quote should be used in our everyday lives.

Sex, drugs and fights are just a few things happening in schools now a days. Is the "Hippie"
era coming back? Kids in school having sex in the school toilets? Taking their 1st puff of
cigarettes at the tender age of 11? Gangs are made up to have fights just to take money
from nerds? I was shocked and like "Damn!" how could this happen? but not all kids are
bad. Some are smart and responsible at what they learn and do. Example, our little Jeremy is
a "road idiot" and a 16 year old girl had to show him the way to the bus station...oh how embarrassing...Get a map Jeremy...and quiet surprisingly she was quiet matured for her age.
In conclusion, I the writer has to say even if its a dark and shallow room, there is always a
source of light coming out. For every young mind that needs guidance, we have to take some
time off our adult lifestyle and guide them towards that bright light of hope. Even if they don't
listen to your advises, doesn't mean they will not take you words into account. Someday they
will look back and thank you for what your words of wisdom.
