Ok, this one's going to be another article where I give you my opinion on something...yay! Last night I had a look at just how disgusting and decrepit people can be. It was horrifying. What is worse though, is knowing that it goes on so close to all of us, and we don't even know. We think that when we see prostitutes on tv, gang leaders, and big time drug dealers, oh that's just in the big city's, it doesn't happen here. Well, it does. What's worse than how it slips under our noses is the fact that not only do we pretend it isn't real, but we don't set up real methods for getting rid of it, or teaching people that life doesn't have to be like that. We all know someone who has dejectedly given up on trying any more and has decided that life is what they have right now, nothing more-and they've settled. Where are the parents that tell their kid's they can do anything, or the supporters who are there to hurrah you on until you've accomplished your goals? It's our own fault that people are the way they are. When we haven't made it any easier or better for them to do something else, why not do what is easy, or what they know? It's easier to sell drugs than it is to get a job at Taco Bell. It's easier to find some guy to give you a couple hundred to find an empty hotel room, I'm sure. In fact, we haven't even made it that dangerous, or given them a better option. Why not work for a couple hours and make the money of someone who went to school for 8 years? If you don't have your GED, then, who cares? You don't need it to do a little side job for someone.
I'm not saying that everyone involved in these acts do them because they weren't given better options, or given encouragement and support, but you know, I was a teenager once. I saw what some kids parent's were like, what their homelife was like-and I can see what they've become now. It's in direct correlation-so all you parents out there, just make sure your kid's know that they can do better than that. What takes you two seconds to say could make an affect that will last generations.
