Young People Grow Up
A Judge who regularly deals with youth… “ Always we hear the cry from teenagers,
‘What can we do, where can we go?’… My answer is, “Go home, mow the lawn, wash the windows, learn to cook, build a raft, get a job, visit the sick, study your lessons, and after you’ve finished, read a book. Your town does not owe you recreational facilities and your parents do not owe you fun. The World does not owe you a living. You owe the world something. You owe it your time, energy and talent. So nobody will be at war, in poverty or sick and lonely again.’
In other words grow up and stop being a crybaby, get out of your dream world and develop a backbone instead of a wishbone. Start behaving like a responsible person.
You are important and are needed. It’s too late to sit around and wait for someone to do something someday. That someday is Today and that somebody is You.

Maybe it should not be titled. "Young people Grow Up" We all need to take a look at ourselves. We have been raising children who are spoiled and not taught responsibility. My grandaughter wrote a forensic speech about the "Me Generation" and it gave a clear representation of what so many of us have become. It is all about me. Not what can I do for others. A song comes to my mind. "Others Lord, Yes, Others." Let this this my moto be. That I may Live for others. That I may be like Thee.

WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN'T LOOKING
A message every adult should read because children
are watching you and doing as you do, not as you say.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you hang my
first painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately
wanted to paint another one.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you feed a
stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind
to animals.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you make my
favorite cake for me, and I learned that the little
things can be the special things in life.
When you thought I wasn't looking I heard you say a
prayer, and I knew that there is a God I could always
talk to, and I learned to trust in Him.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you make a
meal and take it to a friend who was sick, and I
learned that we all have to help take care of each other.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you take care
of our house and everyone in it, and I learned we have
to take care of what we are given.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw how you
handled your responsibilities, even when you didn't
feel good, and I learned that I would have to be
responsible when I grow up.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw tears come
from your eyes, and I learned that sometimes things
hurt, but it's all right to cry.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw that you
cared, and I wanted to be everything that I could be.
When you thought I wasn't looking I learned most of
life's lessons that I need to know to be a good and
productive person when I grow up.
When you thought I wasn't looking I looked at you and
wanted to say, 'Thanks for all the things I saw when
you thought I wasn't looking.'
