Parents Face An Uphill Battle

Parents:
We may be responsible parents and teach our children correctly but they still fall victim to society.  Children become victims because they were not strong enough to resist the compelling influences that besiege them. Also, they may not fully understand that this is a war for their right to be happy and to be safe from the harmful repercussions that follow life’s challenges.

Teens and Tweens:
Do you see that there is a war going on right now for your happiness? Girls, do you understand that the enemy to peace and happiness needs to take down girls and women because they are the foundation of the family unit and of the health of our future society? If you have no morality, do not uphold personal values and honorable characteristics, what does that say about our future as a society?

I realize that this is a huge burden placed on you, but nevertheless, it is a fact that you make up our future. Like it or not, what you do now develops the character of our future. Why do you think there is so much going on to take down the youth? Do you see the importance you have on our future?

Parents have had their chance to live by the personal standards they chose for themselves and to teach you how to live in the world you face to day. Now it is your chance to give value back to society and be the people we need you to be, or give in t0 the iniquities offered today and take you out of raising a healthy society in the future. Do you see that as a reality?

I know you are smart enough to figure this out because I have been teaching this age group for thirty years. I have seen many of you make bad choices and so I know the outcome.  Now they are raising a new generation, which you are part of now. You need to get your head around this and accept your role because it is there whether you like it or not, and you WILL determine the future.

Parents:
I know that today you are fighting an uphill battle as well and so our children often become products of society’s ungodly influences. The way I see it, children either have not been taught the boundaries of healthy sex or they become part of a sick society because they are not surrounded by healthy influences or developed the tools they need to successfully fight these influences.

Parents, Teens and Tweens:
It is easier today for you to become more like the society in which we live than in the past. We are subtly and constantly influenced to accept wrong as right and even acceptable. As a result, society has slowly lowered the bar on modesty, morality, chastity, and self-respect.

Many parents don’t try to fight these influences because they assume their kids will figure it out on their own; after all, they did. The problem with this philosophy is that society is NOT like it was when parents were teens. Without training and developing weapons of our own to fight the war waged against families today, families and individuals WILL become casualties of this war.

I realize that parents do not only fight the influences of society but they fight peer pressure as well, which is very strong. Kids, you know exactly what I am talking about! You know that you will do whatever you are going to do, even if it is against your upbringing, in order to be accepted by your peers.

Parents understand that you are being eaten alive by the unhealthy influences of our day. It’s no wonder you might be confused about your sexuality and who you ought to be. Understand that your parents know these things because they were once in your shoes, however you are equipped to deal with the pressures of today if you will listen to their wisdom and experience.

The difference between you and your parents is whether you have been taught and whether you understand that lifestyle choices offered today by society are wrong and not good for you. If you don’t know this, let me tell you right now that living that way is wrong and will not give you happiness. Living that way of life will lead to harsher consequences as they pile up on you.
