The Truth for Teens and Young Adults
The truth is that the best proactive measures for Teens
and Young Adults is Education. Preaching, threatening, scolding
and even punishing are not true deterrents to changing behaviors
of Teens and Young Adults.
When it comes to reinforcing and understanding the dangers
and consequences of unprotected sex, drug use, obesity,
alcohol, dangers with social media, and situations of bullying,
parents must use tools available to “get through”
to their Teens and Young Adults.
The Best Defense and Strategy is EDUCATION.
When parents talk about social concerns they are sometimes
met with indifference, rejection, closed minds, closed ears and
even rebellion from their children. Many parents become
frustrated, depressed and lost as to how they can reach their child
or children when they are blossoming and
growing into Teens and Young Adults.
The truth is there is so much misinformation that
Teens and Young Adults are not sure who to believe. The most logical
choice is communication with their parents, but peer pressure, new
friendships, being with the “in group” may be more important for
Teens and Young Adults at their ages.
Quote ”There isn't a child who hasn't gone out into the brave new world
who eventually doesn't return to the old homestead carrying a bundle of
dirty clothes.” Art Buchwald
A parents responsibility does not just happen in the home, but also when
a Teen and Young Adult leaves the home. Accountability is important as
parents teach and preach to their Teen and Young Adults about the
correct direction to grow. The media has shown images of Teens and
Young Adults murdered, incarcerated, abducted, abused and some have
even disappeared, never to be seen again.
The community of Jacksonville must take more of a responsibility to get
Teens and Young Adults more involved in events like
