SAFE NATURAL CURES & LIVING

Young people have a different outlook, which is natural.  Our youth think that they will live forever.  After all, only old people die and they think that old is “forever” away.  On the other hand, they are apt to forget that a tattoo lasts forever and get one on a whim.

Bad things only happen to others, not to them.  This thinking is especially prevalent when it comes to drug overdoses or addiction, drunk driving, or sex.  Why is pregnancy such a surprising result after participating in the very act that creates babies?  They think that they can’t get an STD if they only have one partner - but the one partner may have already been with others.  Asking about that in advance, though, doesn’t show trust and love.

Youth might be no fun at all without the youthful outlook.  And, who knows, maybe few inventions would have ever come about without the blind perserverence of youth.  Wisdom usually comes only with age since the ears of the youth are like a radio that only gets a few stations:  music, gossip, protest movements of any sort, etc.  The “talk-radio” station of sage advice is all static to them and gets turned off.  But, their eyes are always working (television, video games, the internet).  Whether our youth admit it or not,  parents are seen.  So, the best way to teach our young people is by being good examples to follow.
