Perhaps the parents should be educated first in order to talk intelligently and informatively to their children. Education starts in the home. It's time we parents take the responsibility of teaching our children right from wrong and not wait for someone else to do it for us. Today's teenagers are far too interested in the latest rap group, rave parties, or in how loud they can crank up their car stereos. Of course, this is partially a result of having been given everything on a silver platter.
Instant gratification is the prevailing sentiment for today's youth.
You see, morals and personal responsibility went along with appreciation for our mountain heritage. We were taught to have respect for ourselves, our parents, our communities, our mountains and for our country. Your comments were very ugly. Perhaps you are looking in all the wrong places. I believe there were fewer accidents involving trucks and cars when the speed limit was slower.
