That is why so many youth drop out of a normally developing lifestyle and turn to drugs, sex and alcohol. Their desires have been aroused way too soon. When you see a ten or twelve year old drinking, smoking and carrying a pistol, that child's emotions are running wild. Young people shouldn't be doing the same things that adults are doing. Children need to be protected from those type of things.
Young people are adventurous and going through an experimental stage in life.
They are seeking to discover what life is all about and how they fit in. Even though a young person may desire to experiment with these emotions, they must be carefully guided through these stages, so that they will have the most optimal chance of becoming a stable productive individual. And yet they are permitted to spend countless hours in front of a television filling their heart with every evil urge imaginable. We must guard the heart of our youth, because once these things enter in, who knows what the final results will be. The youth today are in a rush.
