Teenagers-learn to love them

Teenagers, they are unique. In any generation they are a species known only unto themselves. Their whole lifestyle is different to any other phase of maturity. It is during this awkward time of volatile hormonal changes that young people decide what attitudes and beliefs to call their own, what moral standing (if any) they will adapt or create, who of their acquaintances are worthy of becoming friends. It is during this pubescent period that they discover sex with all it's complexities. Only as one generation passes into another, these complexities seem to multiply. This is an era of choice, it doesn't matter about such restrictions as moral value or even religious value. In this teenagers world those things are of secondary worth(if any worth at all). 
How sad is it that the majority of our young people have a second language--profanity. Old fashioned word?Sure it is, but there is none better I could describe the words that I hear our high school kids churning out. That brings me to my next point. Although these kids are the adults of tomorrow what they learn today is what they put into practice tomorrow; and who are their teachers? Us, parents caregivers, school teachers, doctors, ministers chaplains and the list goes on. So instead of complaining about today's teenagers-- learn to love them.
