I hate to see my friends suffer. So many parents are so unnecessarily cruel to their children. One would think that these individuals would learn from their own childhood not to make the same terrible mistakes that their parents did, but yet no. There they are, treating their children like they are crap and worthless, and yet wondering why they act the way they do later on. People are so ignorant. They don't really use their brains or their hearts nearly enough. Self-serving egocentricity is not a trait that is usually found in the best sorts of parents.

I'd like to be able to make parents, teachers, administrators, and society in general see what they are doing to our youth throught their attitudes and actions, but even the truth supported by evidence means nothing to them. Tell an adult about a problem, they punish the child instead of adressing the cause. That's why children keep so much to themselves. The parents and other adults or peers cause the pain, the children deal however they can, and the parents punish the children for it, extending the cycle. Whatever a kid does to get away from their problems, it seems is deemed immature, irresponsible, unhealty, or abnormal behavior and then outlawed by the appropriate figure of athority, taking away the young persons way of coping with the evilness of life in general and continuing the terrible cycle.

When will they learn? The time will be when enough of us become them, but not the them of today. We will be an educated them of tomorrow. A them that remembers being us, and being opressed and ignored by the old them. A new world order of thems.
