I've come to realize that many adults are carrying around very hurtful, demeaning, and dangerous ideas and beliefs about themselves as a result of words that were spoken over them at a very young age. They appear to be over it with all the busy work and complex lives that they live but time and time again we see the dysfunction begin to surface or worse we see the mentalities passed on to their children and the negativity acted out in red. The irony is when the parent looks at the child like they are completely foreign to them and say something like...."these kids today are nothing like we were". The denial of hurt in the parent is so great that even in such a moment the parent alienates the child. Worse, the parent says some of the very same things that were so hurtful to them to their children in complete unconsciousness and the cycle continues.
It's time to get real, It's time to take responsibility and to stop raising bullies because thats the real true story of the matter. How so? Because self-hate projects inward and outward both equally and is equally as effective. I speak to adults because I understand that our youth and the issues they're having didn't just come out of thin air. We have to step up and use words responsibly as to set an example as well as break a very abusive and toxic cycle for new generations. Remember that your children are listening and watching the way you treat, speak about, and interact with others and they are learning! No more do as I say. Be the change you hope to see....be a role model. Let's make it happen!
