To All Parents
Children -- we love them,we know them, we have them, we lose them.......
the grow, they take flight, they typically come back......
Parenthood is rich with romantic notions about what the experience will be. Under the best of circumstances, it is a voyage into many mysterious emotions and experiences. Being in charge with the life and the development of another human being is quite frankly -- awesome.
Parenting becomes a challenge for people at varying points in the developmental cycle. One of the stages which offers the most creative opportunities takes place during puberty and adolescence. In Latin, pubescere means to grow hairy and mossy. Indeed, puberty is a time of incredible change in the anatomy, the physiology, the mind and heart, of a human being. According to great theorists, it is the appropriate time experiment with ones identity and placement in the world.
Although the human race has dealt with this throughout the ages, here in the 21st century, we find that there are some unique issues that present in the form of threats which need to be managed appropriately. One such threat is that of illicit drugs being offered to youth who are naive and inexperienced. Regardless of what you participated in during the 60s and 70s, when American culture did a certain amount of embracing of the beatnik and hippie era, where free love and home grown marijuana all seemed innocent enough to tolerate or at least endure.....today's world is different.
Sex is now associated with diseases that can take your life. Illegal drugs are bending minds and also taking lives. They are so naive.
