Visions of Youth

   You think, "Wow, look what's happened to the world. The young people are on meth and crack. They hang on the corner, listening to horrible music and possessing a bad attitude. Now, hold on, there IS hope. 

   When I was a teenager, I was no angel. I wasn't too bad, but I could act up a little. Thank God my father was quite strict, or I may have turned out to be a real sociopath. Now, flash forward to present day. Yeah, a lot of the youth really suck. Many ARE on these new-fangled drugs, they go to heinous parties, and act like retarded monkeys. However, the glimmer of hope is found in the handful of young people that give a shit. Take Greta Thunberg, for example. She really stands out as a youngin' that is doing stuff! Take, say, Justin Beiber. Well, that's a whole different ball of wax. Being ungrateful comes to mind. Nuff said.

   Youth of today, you don't have to necessarily go out and volunteer at a homeless shelter or travel to a third world country and help out, but how about putting down the cell phone for a bit and do SOMETHING. When I'm trying to walk down a sidewalk, how about showing a little common respect and decency by pocketing your phone so you don't run into me. How about not acting like you're entitled? None of us are entitled to anything, but should strive to contribute. Food for thought. X.
