Are these children being trained? Are they being raised? Parents of the 21st century couldn’t have cared less what their children do these days. That now bring us to having our youths, our future throwing their little lives away before they get the chance to live it. I just pray that God gets them the help they need and require. A changed mind and to see life for what it is. Life isn’t about “badness” youths. It’s about living and having your name marked for good reasons. Not throwing your life away and people looking down on you. This is not the life for you to live. It’s times for a lift up!!
