When will the general public ever realize that the longer we waste out time the worse thing will be. It is really not that difficult to take our kids aside and tell them we love them. We do not have to do everything for them but we can lead them down a path that may be better than ours. We do not need to help them self-destruct. In fact, we are killing them ourselves if we tell them how much we want them to be like us especially when all we do not lead by example.
Love works wonders. Show these kids you actually fucking give a shit about them. I have worked with some very hardened young people and have very rarely had any difficulty with any one of them after I showed I care. A little one on one discussion about something that may have slipped out in passing is usually all it takes to get in. Then you have to take them time to actually listen and give feed back that is meaningful not just platitudes. In short, do not just ACT like you care, actually DO care. If you can't do it then get the fuck out of the field and let those who are good do what they do.!!!
Politicians, get over the whole licensure thing. It has a place, yes, but it does not tell the story. I do not have the license to counsel youth, but I have been doing it for 20 years, and very well I might add. I can prove my worth if you had a clue what you were looking for, but you, nor the licensing entities, have any idea, AND paying an exorbitant price to take a test to know the correct terminology, what the FUCK is that all about? I have been a licensed educator from 1990 but do not really have any idea of some of the terms we were told would be the most important, BUT I can still take an 18 year old post adjudicated male in the inner city and teach him something he never thought he could do within a week or less. Fuck your standards!!
