LET me see.... does this mean that whatever comes down the pike, we as a nation need to jump on the bandwagon? Sign of the times is a vague, but pathetic excuse to follow the crowd. Don't you think we should stick to what works, and has worked in the past? Wear clothes that cover your body. it is a temple, and it is only meant for your partner of MARRIAGE to view. Not the free world. If you have ANY moral compass about you, I'm hoping it tells you to put on garments suitable for the public. I do believe that most of the girls today wear what they wear for attention, and not good attention. I do believe they have every intention of shocking those around them. I've seen young girls, around 9-11yrs old, dressed like street whores. I have a daughter, now 25yrs old, and she never, never dressed that why. Want to know why? I as her mother, and teacher of morals, would never buy anything inappropriate for her to wear. Therefore, she couldn't wear it. I know, some of you reading this are thinking, she changed at school, like most of them do. Not so, I worked at school. In the PTA. Free, volunteer work. So that I could be a parent and she could be the child. Some of you younger parents need to stop letting your children "have everything you never had as a child"" because you are producing spoiled, unruley, mean, rude, brats.!!!! The world could do without more of those kinds of kids. Instead, why don't you look back into the past at what worked. Talk back to your parents, you ate soap. Come home late, you gat a spanking and grounded. Cut school, the principle, got you, your parents got you, your grandparents got you, and then you were grounded with double chores. Back talk a neighbor, the neighbor whipped you , sent you home and then your parents whipped you. Now, the only thing people want to do, is sue you, run your life for you, take control away from you, give your children birth control, condoms, sex talks, and so on. Those are the things that should be done at home. Not the birth control, the birds and the bees talk. The birth control shouldn't even become a topic until you are talking marriage. Now younger and younger people are having sex for intertainment. I'm so saddened by the way the parents have turned their children over to whomever or whatever will keep them out of their hair. You shouldn't have children. they are a blessing from God, and to throw them to the wolves like that is a sin. you'll pay bigtime for one day. If you aren't regretting it yet, you will be soon enough. One last thing. When I was referring to the past about the way it was when I was growing up, I'd never change a thing. I was raised by a single mother with 5 children. We all survived our spankings, and the chores. It made me a better person. I didn't have anything, and was a very happy kid. We truely ove induldge our kids today, and as a result, they have nothing to look forward to. Has anyone payed attention to the crime rate? and the ages are going down. Younger and younger criminals. Being raised by a parent or two who really don't want to be bothered with them. They just got pregnant and now they're stuck with them. If that describes you, please, for the sake of everyone around you, train your child right. Teach them right from wrong. At the rate we are going, there will be no one to run this country but gangsters and thugs, all the good kids will no longer exsist.
