Even grandma supported this negative character trait. Shame on all of them. What a price this young man paid for taking the easy way out. Kids will be kids. Kids do foolish things without regard to consequences.
Parents have choices about their children s character growth and development.
Parents should know about consequences and require their children to accept responsibility for their actions. While no system is perfect and not all children turn out well in spite of their parent s very best attempts, usually, we end up with that which we build into our children. Build well from day one and later enjoy the fruits of a job well done. Build poorly and expect to shed many tears of regret. Send comments or suggestions to Jerry Meyer .
