Children learn what they live; children live what they learn, do you remember that song, as I contemplate on the moral decadence of the society we live in. It just reminded me of that song,and makes me wonder if this true. Many parents have done their best in instilling values to their children, however children have choices and whether we like it or not they are going to exercise these choices.
"Vice has no friend…" So here we are again, that old familiar place… today we talk about alcohol abuse, tomorrow we will talk about marijuana and so on and so forth. Who has the answer to all these social ills? Note the headline…Alcohol abuse…costs Britain £22 billion a year.
How impressive are the youth who use no form of drugs.
If parents want the youth to be able to exercise self control, to avoid the use of these dangerous substances, to be such a one that they can be proud of, then train them, and their tomorrow will take care of itself.
I remember at primary school the first day of school was the day when we all had new shirts, new jumpers and every time I find that at the end of the first day of school someone manages to steal my jumper. I always wondered if they lived with parents and if they notice that their children turn up with things that do not belong to them.
No good seed sown will bring forth bitter fruit. As we sow, so shall we reap? Perhaps we should have some morality classes and some self control classes and some classes of virtue. Children live what they learn. Perhaps the curriculum could teach us how to embrace well and shun evil, how to identify the true from the false and the ills of using dangerous substances
My solution to this drinking problem is to slap a big fine on them; that should sober them up. A fine for the ambulance bill and the cleaning bill for the mess they create on the streets. And then make it compulsory that they receive help for their drinking problem.
