The Teen Experience

I want people to know that our Teen Experience video was mine and Kim's 2nd video that we filmed and we didnt make good when we did the editing as we kept on rambling on, instead of making stop points, so when you view these just take that into consideration.
----------------------

Now here is my vision of what i am seeing with Teens today. Ok Teenagers SERIOUSLY have a problem with life today. Everyone does understand what they are going through, but no one has their updated info about it. Which is why its always best to have your kids teach you the new lingos and slangs and styles of today, so that way you CAN relate. The most major problem is with sex and drugs, which i feel doubles nearly every year as there are drug related sex, alcohol related sex, rapes, family or friend sex, or their personal want of sex. Also when it comes to drugs theres peer pressure, just the fact that they are there, and "fuck it" moments as to when and why they want to experiment. People you need to stop being pussies and start talking, its best to say that you at least said something to them rather than wishing that you had when their lives are already fucked up or trouble is taking place.

I live in Southwest Missouri and the parents that i have seen and even been around or dated that had kids, ill say on MY OWN personal experience with those i have met in my life, about 75% of parents, whether together or single parents... Really let their kids run around and do crazy shit. I think kids need SOME FORM of discipline and the reason behind that is because it lets them know from jumpstreet or for you not knowing my slang, it means from birth or the beginning, that YOU are in CHARGE and not them. I feel once they learn that you are the parent an that the things you tell them to do gives them a bit of respect for you as well as for themselves to know they have accomplished something and maybe, just maybe they will look to you for information should they need it.



Parents i know this is the ramblings of some guy that you dont know, but you seriously have to put your foot down when it comes to kids, because they are going to be the ones who have control of you when you finally break down. Do you want them to just shove you in the nursing home because they are mad? Do you want them to be the ones who end your life? Or how about the ones who drive you to financial disaster, because you feel the need to protect your babies? If you are a single mother or father, trust me i know its hard as hell, but remember kids need both parents even if the other is bad, but if one or the other is a horrible horrible person, then you HAVE to tell the kids what that person did and why, when they turn to ask you where their mom or dad is... of course when it is age appropriate. Also it is best to at least allow them to see the families of the other parent so that way they have a sense as to where they are from.

Our children will grow older and always test the limits. Make sure you are able to be the one who sets the limits. I honestly dont remember a time when i tested the limits with my dad, even though i know i have sometime around in my life. I know i did with my mother, but she was both mean and compassionate and i think that works alot for me. I find myself thinking about her all the time and always depending on my dad for alot as well... Its a good feeling, even though i am well in my 30s, lol.



Now to the reasons behind the videos and yes i make big blogs, because i feel the need to Speak Out which is the point of all of this. PARENTS... Your kids are in relationships of some form or way and you need to know about it. I know you are not stupid, but some of you are highly oblivious to the fact that many kids are doing shit that you didnt do or did do and they cant control it. I know alot of teenagers here in my own family and in some of my friend's an their friend's families and WOW i have learned alot, but the sad part is that they are NOT my kids and you can only tell them so much before you parents actually jump the other person for attempting to do your job, lol. Honestly if at all possible a website called www.myyearbook.com is a place where alot of teens talk about their experience and what they do when it comes to certain situations. The way alot of these kids talk and do and help each other, the kids nowadays are highly "dumb" when it comes to simple things. I have read that many kids dont know what to do when their boyfriends hit them or tell them shit that they are gonna do to them or to their families. Many kids are so afraid of some 15/16 year old punks that they have no true knowledge that the family has all the power to save themself rather than some punk coming to do whatever it is that they threatened to do.

Parents?? Many of your kids dont know what to do if they had been raped and alot of them have posted on various sites that they sit and hide for days, burn their clothes, cut their skins, because they were violated and dont know how to release the pressure or thoughts of what happened. We have to talk about it... this is todays world not the 50s or earlier when all you did was shove them in insane asylums or sent them to convents or other parents or discipline places. If you step up an talk about shit that you really dont want to, then you will see a great big picture and the kids grow up on a better level so that way you can know and trust them to do the right things.





Well i wont stretch this blog any further than i have to, but i do want you all to know that abuse is not the answer, ignoring the issue is not the answer, and that STUPID countdown that you parents seem to do DOES NOT WORK AT ALL STOP THAT SHIT!!!! Just talk to them or have them do other things when they are in trouble it makes it easier. When it comes to some problems, tell them about your experiences and guide them on what they could do NOT NEED TO, but could do. When it comes to their teenage life, just be open an honest and YES talk about the nasty shit that you did and what happened afterwards and also tell them about alot of your drug/sex/or other experiences and tell them the end result behind it, so that way they are at least informed and they can learn to watch rather than do and be screwed for life and that is just a personal message.... No one will be a perfect parent, because we dont have perfect kids, but its nice to know that i can at least say that i have good kids.
