Today’s Teen

 She was a very young teen.  She felt she was grown up.  Should be

given all the freedoms of maturity.  She was looking for love, for a sense of

belonging, looking in the wrong places.  Her lifestyle was modeled on peers,

on parents and they all had the same problems, same shortcomings.  The real

love in her life was her grandparents, and she resisted their love.  They

offered security that she felt was oppression.  She was the cause of

heartache and pain to so many, yet she could have been such a sweet child.

It was not all her fault.  The permissiveness of society, going back so many

years, the groups who meant well, “let’s pass these laws to prevent abuse of

children”.  Good beginnings, but they didn’t know enough to stop.  Parents

lost the right to bring up their children as they felt they should.  They were

afraid to lose them.  So family roles were reversed.  The child told the parent

what she would do, where she would go, and how she would act.  “And if

you don’t keep quiet, I’ll report you for mental abuse.”  We have lost our

coming generation, lost the future of our country, a country founded for

freedom, and so to be lost for freedom.  And unfortunately, the ones we

have tried to help are the ones we have hurt the most.
