Nieces, Nephews, Youth...


Was talking to a woman who had a strong opinion about the youth today and it was not favorable. It was shocking to hear someone so against our youth and so worried that the future "young people" who will be running our world will not have the skills to do so.

Isn't it amazing how perception and personal experience can taint even the most innocent of us. For me my opinion and perception is about as far away from this as can be. I swell up with pride regarding our youth my association has been nothing but stellar...

That doesn't mean that all the young men and women that I have had the pleasure to meet are perfect - hardly but there is and always will be a open, non-judgemental adult willing to listen to them.

My opinion is: there is and will be some very bright, motivated, sincere young people ready to contribute to society and we as adults have an obligation to provide them a positive, open platform to succeed.

Absolutely! Blame the media for a skewed perspective on youth. Drama makes great cover.
