I have to agree with Anthanasia. I work for a nonprofit youth organization. In the US at least, I can name one reason why kids are unhappy or uncared for or undesired. Parents!

The kids in this report and the kids I work with are the kids of my generation. Personally, I don't have kids. I like kids I can give back to momma. I understand my shortcomings in childrearing and would never subject a child to me.

Kids nowadays, IF they have 2 in home parents are turn-key kids. Both parents more than likely work or if a single family the parent has to have 2 fulltime jobs to make ends meet. In order to appease their sence of failing their child, they buy them off. Give little Johnny anything he wants to make myself feel better for leaving him all alone for 8 hours after school.

There are no morals being practised today. Dad IF he is still around (we just hit 51% of families are now single parent families) is off to work before Johnny gets up to beat traffic and does not get home until after 7pm and then just wants to unwind and NOT mess with his son.

Another thing to consider is the poverty level of this country. But for those that do go to church are being hit up to send money and resources to third world countries (who need it) but in the mean time keeping much of this country at poverty level.

What happened to the post WWII parents who taught Family values to their kids? Why did those kids not pass it on. I heard one veteran say what this country needs is a good ol fashion war on her own soil to wake people up to the extravagence she lives under and make people appreciate the freedom she has.

Is this post on topic? Is your post about Chalcedonian Orthodoxy through patristic and monastic study? Off-topic may be deleted without notice. Click here for guidelines. Nope this post is not. I wouldn't know how to tie the two together either. Sorry. We need fewer babies to unwed mothers, fewer fathers making babies just for the sake of a conquest, and more time devoted to those babies that are born by parents who will take the time to...
