Teen Suicides Are Up More Than 70%

I know it has been awhile since I published on this blog, but I couldn't let this go by and be silent. We have failed our younger generations. We decided it was okay for someone else to raise them, for someone else to take the lead in educating them. Teaching them morals, values and responsibility was just too hard for us to focus on with all our other distractions. Video games are so much easier to entertain children than doing it ourselves. Unfortunately, video games progress exponentially in levels of aggression, violence and moral decline as they get older and so without realizing it we have allowed them to participate in degradation of what we should have been teaching them, values and principles. It also has addicted them to instant gratification and entertainment that when compared to normal life makes life seem so boring and unexciting. And yes, it is pure addiction, their brain demands the quick action and entertainment of the media sources we have provided them with. Outdoor excursions with friends take too long and are way too physically demanding. We created a new puzzle in their minds by teaching them that they may not actually be the gender that they were born and that it is good to question that gender and become a different gender if they felt inclined to do so. We even taught them that there are more than two genders? We created access to pornography so easy that every young person with a phone can watch and view any time they feel like it without anyone knowing or it being a problem. A twelve-year-old and younger with a smart phone and data access to the internet have seen everything they want and plenty more. We have created social media that allows them to pass self-made child pornography among themselves and not have it remain where it could be accessible later, unless of course someone took a screen shot of it and uses it later to bully with, extort for money or sexual favors, and sometimes just plain meanness by publicly posting it as revenge for something. That same media is also used to bully and criticize others in a manner that was never acceptable in public. Besides what is wrong with bullying? We tell them they shouldn't do it, but then they listen to us bully on the news, on TV, on the internet and in the medical clinics. Medical Clinics? Do you realize that in the USA we kill over 800,000 babies a year by abortion! In the world that number is closer to 36 MILLION a year! What does that say to our youth when we value human life as little as we do by allowing this to take place in the country and in the world? We even let the government pay for many of them with our tax dollars. But don't bully anyone. Is that the thought they have when some of them decide to end their lives or take other lives with them when they go or is it distorted by us as a society showing them that there are too many children being created and we need to end the lives of many of them? How do we convince them they are important when we show them that babies are not important? http://www.numberofabortions.com/ We made the adding of tattoos and piercings to our body necessary to look good? The NBA looks like a billboard for tattoo parlors. Sadly, athletes in all other sports have done the same. Our skin as God created it is not beautiful? If there is not some sort of adornment filling a pierced whole in our body, we are not beautiful enough just as God created us? We as adults have given them the example of what we think they should look like. Have we made it so they cannot look in the mirror and view themselves as a beautiful son or daughter of Heavenly Father without adding tattoos, piercings, or other ways of distorting our natural appearance? How can we expect our teens to love who they are if they don't have the needed look to be looked at with envy by their peers? Hint, Heavenly Father made you the most beautiful way you will be and loves you just the way you look. He especially loves you when you thank him for being one of His children and try and take proper care of your body. You don't need a gym membership to do this. Just have physical activity as part of your life. Hard physical work does a body good. Go for walks, runs, play sports, take care of your own lawn and yard, go for hikes, volunteer for charity work and put some callouses on your hands. Have your kids join you. You won't know why you paid others to make you fit if you do this. Your kids also learn some great knowledge needed for the future of how to do things when they grow up by being included in the work. It is certain they won't get that at school, have you seen the P.E. classes in school anymore? They don't even need a shower after gym class. We have allowed drugs to pour into our country and be produced here for their use. Why not? Did we not allow marijuana to become legal in many places in the country? It must be okay if their parents approve the use of it! It is available in stores just like alcohol. We created E-Cigs that do not have the problems of smoking cigarettes. You can even get that vape in flavors that are wonderful. Nicotine available for a quick buzz in doses as large as a whole pack of cigarettes. And with some types, we don't even know they are doing it because it is in the form of something that looks like a large

thumb drive for a computer. Religion was evicted from the schools, government buildings, and public spaces. The only religion taught in schools is the new fad of Islam and learning about any religion other than Judeo-Christian beliefs. Why worry about religion, most parents have little use for it and it just talks bad about all the fun stuff being provided for them. And listen to the news, religions are hatists and look down on those that veered from the path and teachings of religion. Even lawmakers are trying to make laws that keep hate speech (teachings about morality that goes against anyone that thinks differently) being spoken from the pulpits of churches. So, what have we generated? A society where teen suicide is increasing at an alarming rate, bullying and effects of bullying are seen in suicide rates, gang membership growth, juvenile delinquency and school shooting incidents. Mental illness increase? It started with the insanity that we, the older generations, could dismiss our responsibility in raising our children properly. And now we must suffer the consequences as a society. Repairing and changing the wrongs are always much harder than not straying from the responsibility in the first place. Especially when there are many that want the degradation to continue on down the present path. Mental illness? Yes, mental illness is what we need to be fighting, not innate objects that are used in acting out on the mental illness we have created as a society. Fighting mental illness by educating what are truths, right and wrong, even when it makes some feel uncomfortable or guilty. The following link is to an article that talks about how teen suicide is up over 70%. We caused this. https://www.theblaze.com/news/2018/03/20/teen-suicides-up-70-percent-over-a-decade?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=TheBlaze%20Daily%20AM%202018-03-20&utm_term=TheBlaze%20Daily%20AM%20-%20last%20270%20days If you still have children at home, teach them about life. If you have grandchildren, teach them about life. If you don't have either and you have the time, volunteer to work with children and teach them about life. Real life, face to face life, adventures in the outdoors, physical activity away from the electronics locking their minds up, and teach them where we came from, why are we here and where are we going from here. If you need help with that, ask Heavenly Father, he is waiting for us to ask so he can help us.
