Teenagers suck

All teenagers don't suck. There are lots of good kids out there. I think a lot of the problems are the parents.....and I'm certainly not singling out the op here, just speaking in general terms. A lot of parents nowadays care about other things. Chasing ***, chasing money, staying high all the time, just doing things not conducive to good parenting. And then there are those parents who do everything they can do to give their kids a good upbringing and they still go bad. Sometimes, there's just nothing you can do. I had a pastor friend. A great friend for years. He had three boys. They are all grown with their own families now, but all three are fine young men. All three became Eagle Scouts. They all kept their noses clean. Sadly, covid got their dad a few years back. We lost a good friend. That was just a terrible thing. One of the biggest problems too is the divorce rate....and the rate at which parents don't even marry to begin with. A FAMILY is not a single parent. A family takes a mama AND a daddy to raise children. They don't have to be blood, but children need both male and female role models. The farther away we get from The Word, the worse things get. I'll just leave it "right there".
