drtarzanmd Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 The other day, someone at a store in our town read that a methamphetamine lab had been found in an old farmhouse in the adjoining county and he asked me a rhetorical question, ''Why didn't we have a drug problem when you and I were growing up?'' I replied: I had a drug problem when I was young....... I was drug to church on Sunday morning. I was drug to church for weddings and funerals. I was drug to family reunions and community socials no matter the weather. I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults. I was also drug to the woodshed when I disobeyed my paarents, told a lie, brought home a bad report card,did not speak with respect, spoke ill of the teacher or the preacher, or if I didn't put forth my best effort in everything that was asked of me. I was drug to the kitchen sink to have my mouth washed out with soap if I uttered a profane four-letter word. I was drug out to pull weeds in mom's garden and flower beds and rocks out of dad's fields. I was drug to the homes of family, friends and neighbors to help out some poor soul who had no one to mow the yard, repair the clothesline, or chop some firewood; and, if my mother had ever known that I took a single dime as a tip for this kindness, she would have drug me back to the woodshed. Those drugs are still in my veins; and they affect my behavior in everything I do, say, and think. They are stronger than cocaine, crack, or heroin; and, if today's children had this kind of drug problem, America would be a better place.

MightyMightyMezz Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Haha not this again! Mad respect to you personally Dr. T, but I think kids need to be treated like the intelligent, aware human beings they are when they are born. Then they will behave wisely and won't need any drugging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Bethany Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I think that is soooo right. Most of the young generation have no snese of respect and are easliy put on the back burner by the parents that are hanging at the bar or past out in the kitchen chair because they "took Too much".. Its getting sickening. I mean, (Im a young mother, so not all young mothers fall into this catagory, but around here they do) It seems the younger the parent, the less attention the kids get, so their not being taught the essentials of life!! The parents are selfish and act as if life is a party! or they pawn the kids off to grandparnets that are spoiling the bunny muffin out of them sending them home with worse attitudes and the parents dont want to deal with it, so the children have no consequences, and they are rude because they can be! They grow up with no respect of the law, or adults or what is right and wrong, so the hard drugs like pills that are so highly addicted, one week of fun turns into 10 years of addiction... We have to teach our young children what is right and wrong and how to behave correctly... Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
