I'm a very serious person when it comes to children.
It's pretty much the only thing I'm serious about everything else is pretty much laid back.
The other day my sister said so nonchalantly (she's fourteen mind you so she may still change) that if she ever has babies she'll just give them up for adoption because she doesn't want kids. So I asked her, don't you think that would be hard to do, that person is apart of you, your blood, your family, and they'd just be out there, they might wonder who you are, wonder why you didn't want they they might hate themselves because of it. She just shrugged and said she didn't care because she doesn't want kids... just absolutely no feeling, no compassion.... nothing for a innocent human life just to make hers how she likes it.
It just seems so heartless. And I wonder is this how teens and people are seeing this, like, "Oh I can just give it up for adoption, no biggy." No emotion, no feeling towards another human being? I mean adoption can be a wonderful thing, but for a lot of children... it's not, they wonder, they have questions... I understand having to do something like that but not wanting to... but that just seems so heartless and it really made me disgusted with my own flesh and blood.

Parents for the love of your CHILD
Yes, we all know there are times when you need to tell your children
something, how to behave, how to respond to a situation... but even when
your telling them something you also need to be talking WITH them.
And you need to start young, teenagers that have been told what to do all
their life usually aren't keen on talking to you, some still are but some
aren't. After reading the billionth post/drama about some irate parents
angry with their child coming across something vulgar, I can't help but
think, wouldn't it be much nicer if the teenager was encouraged to read it
and then talk about the issues that the parent has with the book, and the
kid's questions about it. No one learns anything by being blind to it. Most
of us are only more curious about the things we don't know or don't
understand, it's basic human nature.
Wouldn't it be a little better for you and your child if you talked about
it? Your kid is undoubtedly going to learn about things you wish they
wouldn't... but what's better them hiding it from you and forming
misinformed ideas or talking about it and learning your perspective and not
just some twisted screenplay writer's idea or some authors thoughts?
