CHILDREN

Ok a 9 year old child was found hanging in a Philly school closet. They say he had previously attempted to harm himself. Why would a child so young want to die? Think about what you were doing at that age. They should being having the time off their life. They should being playing dolls and hide and seek. They should be running around and getting dirty. They should be smiling and laughing. They shouldn't have a care in the world. Parents need to start being parents again. They need to start being involved in their child's life. They should know what their child's dislikes and likes are. They should know what their child is involved in and who they are hanging out with. They should know how their child is feeling. You need to show your child affection, let them feel loved and cared about. Don't they realize that their children are going to remember how their parents were or weren't there for them. I personally want my daughter to be able to come to me with anything that is bothering her. I want her to be able to trust me and talk to me about decisions she's trying to make. I could only hope that she would make the right decisions in her life, unlike I did. But when she does make wrong choices, I want to be the first person she comes running to. I'm not saying that I'm the perfect mom, because I'm far from that. But I love my daughter more than the world and I am trying to make a lot of changes in my life to help me be a better mother. I can not shield her from all the evilness in this world. But I will try my best to keep her focused on being a kid and not getting wrapped up in all the adult bullshit. Kids need to be kids. That is the bottom line. I know that some children have some horrible lives and it really isn't fair to them. So if you know of child who isn't being treated right, or you have the time to spend w/ them, THEN DO IT! Ask that parent if you can take their child to the park w/ yours. I'm kinda going off subject I think. So I'll end here. If you have a child, go hug them, tell them how much you love them, maybe act like a fool and make your child laugh. ......T
