Published by People want to ignore what our youth today are
going through, how our culture is forcing them to
accept and even embrace the gay or lesbian life
style . We as parents have closed our eyes and ears
and refuse to face what is going on. Parents must
wake up and realise that their sons and
daughters are hurting.
I have worked with youth for the past fifteen years and can’t tell you the pain that youth feel when they are called ” gay.” Yet now it’s not just becoming acceptable but also cool.
you know the saying “sticks and stones will hurts my bones but words will never harm me.” That is not true, I say to you that words hit harder than a fist. We have to teach youth to be kind to one another. They say “it is just a slang mom” they know I don’t mean that. But you know that at night when they are trying to go to sleep the words of their friends will ring over and over in their mind and they will began to question “what if what so and so said is true.” What made them call me gay? “what made them call me ugly or stupid. ”
Parents please teach your children even at young age not to call their friends bad names not even in joking. Teach them values and to take a stand.
Being gay is not OK. Not with God and not with us as parents. calling your friends that is not OK.
calling them names at a young age causes them to think of themselves that way and some chose that life style because of their insecurities . Many time sexual abuse was involved. Ask any gay man or a lesbian and you see a seed was planted into their life at some point and caused them to question if they were man enough or for women if they were pretty enough. Women could have been called tom boy and at times fat or ugly and felt that no man would be interested in them.
Not to count how television has changed our society by allowing our teens to watch TV shows with fornication, and sit Com’s that put gay and lesbian life style as acceptable life style. Let us not even talk now about how many families allow pornography to enter their home. Your kids will watch anything you watch and more. They will even watch stations that comes in scrambled and use the imagination for the rest. Take great measures if you have to, but please take a stand for something. Start by taking a stand for your family.
What is the solution for this? We as parents have to repent of our sins and the sins of our society and children and say no more will I allow my child to come home and go watch TV in his room or stay on my space all night. I will take leadership and take the time to spend with them and I will not be afraid to tell my teenager “no” for the things that I know to harm him. But you can’t tell your teenager don’t watch this show while you receive a playboy subscription delivered to your home or see you watch questionable TV shows and movies.
Where have our values gone? We just stand by waiting for what?
there is no more standard of what is right and what is wrong?
you have people that hate Christianity because it is not a life of do as you please but a life as do what pleases God. Yes , I say it from the roof top and I am not ashamed of God’s principles. All his laws are for our protection. Why not than do away with the laws of the land. ” they limit people.” We need a red light to protect us from an accident and you and me need God’s word to protect us. His law is for our good.
Will you protect your teen and the teens of other people by teaching your teenager to be kind to one another.
Remember, Words hit harder than a fist. Or Words can heal, Take time each day to tell your teens what you like about them. How good looking your son is and how pretty your daughter is. Rock the World of your teen and teach them to be kind.
