Parents, don't ever asssume your children ae being taught values from teachers or ministers, get involved, know what is being taught, wake up and see what is going on under your very noses. I feel the root of this problem are the parents. I got sick and tired of the gabage the parents tried to use as an excuse to justify their kids behavior. Try ignorance on for size. I listen to rap music exclusively and had the luxury of cable TV in my room, but I was also raised to know the difference between right and wrong.
Nothing shapes the mind of children like the influence of the parent.
Your children are going to take everything for granted. Most everyone is a product of their environment. You have poor parenting, you have poor children. Stop looking at something else to blame other than yourself, responsibility and the instilling of it goes a long way in your child's actions. Also, I feel sorry for anyone that responded to this saying that you should not try to have a friendship with your child.
