‘Oww! Charlie bit me!’. What a memorable catchphrase, it’s cute right? What about a little toddler rocking a black bandanna with sagging jeans reciting 2Pac lyrics; pretty sweet huh? Oh…I got one! How about a fully grown woman whining on a small child?...These kids are so cute…they do the cutest things!
The last blog ended with a question ‘where are our elders?’. Maybe I am just an old man trapped in a seventeen year olds body, but my idea on ‘adulthood’ was growing up, with occasional words of wisdom from those looking over you, whether it be a father, a mother, older brother or sister. Generations come and go, leaving something remarkable behind, but one had seemed to arise, having nothing to offer.
Fathers are not present in the homes and mothers are too busy dealing with their own issues that the life of the child goes unnoticed. The child, being full of wonder, has questions to why they are here, trying to find out their purpose on this earth. The mother looks at her son, and does not see that innocent child full of wonder, but just another fully grown adult, capable of accepting the issues and struggles of adulthood.
That’s why knifes are brought to primary schools, underage sex and teenage pregnancy. The children cannot be helped when the parents are lost themselves. What is going to happen to the next generations? How do we stop this vicious cycle? Because it’s frightening when you look in the eyes of a 5 year old, having nothing to say to them - no fairy tales, no fables about the tooth fairy or Santa clause; because they are officially adults and have grown out that stage, probably going through the same thing as you.
Where have the elders gone?
This is the exact reason why you would see videos posted of small children whining on each other, spreading like wild fire via Facebook…we laugh at it…we enjoy it, not realising that videos of small children whining on each other is verging to child porn, and enjoying it is borderline paedophilia…or did I take it too far?
The innocence of a child is robbed for the sake of entertainment. A so called ‘proud mother’ shows pride by showing her work colleagues, clips of her son smoking cigarettes…What’s going on? Children are exposed to the issues of life through television, the internet, even in their own homes…
Now we have adults aged 11
I HATE SCHOOLKIDS…Hmm not really, because you can never really be angry in the behaviour or a child (they only demonstrate what is exposed to them)…I am just sick of the lack of leadership we have in our homes today.
…we want our parents back!
