Childen of today are really walking in the out of order foot steps of todays adults. They cultivate anger, jealousy, desrespect and violence just like they experience it being done among our adults of today. Another one of their source of learning to cultivate violence, is the addiction of playing those violent computer games, which they are allowed to play in the house unmolested by their parents, as a matter of fact these games are purchased by their parents without even looking on what it teaches. Then there are parents who have guns in the house and leave them carelessly hanging around, while there are others who take their children to target practices or deer and bird hunting trips. Then their are those very violent movies which are often shown on television are in the movie houses, all of these kinds of activities plus gang violences in our communities, help to shape the intention and mental directions of our childrens attitudes.

Then after experiencing a shout down between Mom amd Dad, when Dad told Mom to shut up, and Mom say to Dad you shut up, and Dad lost his temper and slap Mom in the face, and Mom burst out crying and race to her room and lock the door, and Dad raced after her saying I am sorry I just lost my temper, and since Mom did not open the door, and since it was getting late Dad took the boy on to school, with an intention to come back home and try to make it up with Mom. Then as soon as the boy enter into the school hallway, there was a disturbance and the teacher had to tell a student to shut up loud and clear, before the student became quiet with a big frown on his face displaying protest.

Well, the lessons which children and even adults learn from these kinds of manifestations, is that the person who is considered to be in authority, or is bigger and stronger than the others, has the right to shout at those who he or she rules over, and if they refused to obey, then they should be punished. We know that children also have their own disagreements which some times lead to contentions and also fights, but in the early days, they would wrestle with each other and punch at each other, and some times they fall to the ground and keep on wrestling, to the enjoyment and laughter of others, until some one decides that was enough and break it up by seprating them, I have seen so much of this when I was boy in school. At the end of the fight each of the boys would be declaring himself the winner of the fight, but there were no knives, or pepper spray or anything like that, so it was not very often that some one had to be hospitalised after a fight. Now in this technological ages in which we are living, you could just turn on your
television to watch the news, only to hear that there was a shooting which was carried out by a 13, 14, 12, or 18 year old student at given school, and so many teachers are dead, as well as so many students, and the student who did the
shooting killed his or her self. This is a very sad situation, if children who are sent to school to study and learn the better things in life, are turning the schools into a war zone, then it is very clear, that there are too many guns in circulation, and that it is time to curtail this gun distribution business. Guns are just not helpful to people and their community, guns are used to kill. Husbands kill their wives with guns, wives kill their husband with guns, brothers kill their brothers with guns, sisters kill their sisters with guns, neighbors kill their neighbors with guns, guns were just made to kill, kill, kill. Now our children learned from us as adults and now they are killing too, how can we blame them when we are the ones who teach them by our worthless examples, how to become angry killers and murderers. So now it is in the hands of parents, teachers, social workers and all our adults who are living in this ages, to find ways and means, to start to make the corrections of this disasterous situation, so that the children of today, can also correct themselves, and pass on this correction on to the following generation, so that the world in which we are living, can automatically become a better place to live for all people. I wish you all prosperity in your task.
