The Accountability of Our Own Behavior

as adults we must be accountable for our own behavior if we expect the same from our children. when children see political leaders in compromising positions, adults fighting in court rooms, PTA meetings and city council sessions and fathers and mothers verbally and physically abusing each other. how can we expect more from them when we are not holding each other accountable? do we blame the media with their reality shows? do we hold them solely responsible for exposing our youth to all of this? they say just change the channel or turn off the TV but that is not an answer not is it the solution to a growing problem society has made this type of behavior entertainment if not for its shock value but to boost up the ratings for revenue parents fighting and attacking children and coaches at little league games celebrities going to rehab on a daily basis sports figures and officials throwing games professional athletes committing felonies and only getting slaps on the wrists and then they have the nerve to suspend a child from school for DRAWING A PICTURE of a weapon hypocrisy at its worst judges taking bribes doctors molesting their patients teachers have sex with their students yet we have a ZERO TOLERENCE POLICY with those same children who are we kidding? behavior is learned and like any and all animals in the wild the young are taught by example its time we stop naming names and placing the blame on others and look to thine self its time we stop with the excuses and start holding ourselves accountable for our own behavior before we impose rules on our children
