makes the kids harder and they end
up caring only for self. But some
times you never know. You can
raise a child to be right and when the
kids grow up they go wrong. So as
parents we just do the best we can.”
A former counselor says the main
problems that the youth o f today
face are drugs and a poor attitude
about work. ‘ ‘ The availability o f
drugs is devastating our community.
Also they seem to have this depen
dent psychology because of the fed
eral overt and cover, welfare pro
grams. They act like you owe them
something. Well, thanks to Reagan,
gimma got caught.
‘ ‘There are no useful recreational
activities— events that stimulate
the thought process. You can only
shoo, hoop so much. The whole ed
ucational arena needs to be restruc
tured away from the agrarian ap
proach of 9 to 3 so you can go home
and do your chores and » ith the
summer o ff for the »ummr Harvest.
‘ ‘ Also the women’ s movement
has taken its toll on the family by re
moving the woman. It used to be a
time when you would have to spend
wha, you make. Because it takes
more to get by, the woman is also
out there working and that stable
image that I saw as a child is gone.
The women have become too inde
pendent. They have less children so
that caring and understanding for
others aren’t there. The child sees
the frustration of the male. They see
the drug dependency as a way to es
cape. Because the woman is away
from the home the T .V . has more
control than the parent.”
A 16-year-old youth says his
problems are girls, money and wor
rying about the future. “ I don’ t
know if there’s a job out there when
1 turn 18. I looked all summer and
found a job cleaning but I had to go
back to school. I kinda worry about
war because they will send us young-
bloods. And like Prince says, you’re
going to have to fight your own
damn war ’cause we don’t want to
fight no more.”
