When a Teen Disobeys

When a teen disobeys, innocence becomes insolance, but malice is caused by exernal influence; banners with explicit sexual indulgence, conversations with obscene words and gestures that can offend passerbys. There are signs that can detect any danger, watch the sexy way they dress: tight clothing and that glamorous look so irrisistable and provoking; and it may not go unnoticed, and some teasers even approve of it...adding to their lustful taste. Even before modern times left their indecent mark, these teens had a plan to run from home, hop on train or bus and head for the big cities; and on those thriving sidewalks, the predators wait and they know how despair can turn into need, an urgent need to survive...to eat and sleep. Beautiful children, why do you constantly disobey, and refuse to listen to your parents and elders, who were raised in kindness, respect and dignity? Innocent children, before that delusional fantasy steals away more irreplaceable dreams...ask yourselves: shouldn't a dream, such as yours, be trashed? Unpack your back-packs and stay in a wam environment, before silly thoughts become your biggest fear and you will follow them to their destructive end... not ever feeling any absence of the parental heart, where there is a happy home you don't consider the greatest place to nurture love with loving cheer. When a teen disobeys, love loses its profound defination... as its pure essence is taken away by the rampant indignation of an embittered truant: cursing, mocking justice, stealing to feed bad habits, and in doing so they allow grief to overcome joy, and replace it with a tragic death.

Wow Andrew~ I wish you could post this everywhere that teens are. Sad but true so many fall into harms way because they are defiant and strong willed! I say be a parent set the rules when they are young! Well done my friend I hope you can reach some of the youth out there! Love Laura :) Merry Christmas!
