Karens Dilemma

   Karen begin to notice that her son Ra-Ra behavior not to mention attitude begin to change from a positive view to a negative one.Instead of following her parental intuition , and talking to her son in regards to her concerns & his behavior , she settle for the obvious , like many parents , and done nothing.Her reasoning , simple he's a teenager , and as such he is just being rebellious.

  Had she followed her intuition , and talked to him she would have found out like the average teenager he was struggling to find his way , and that peer pressure had forced him to make a tragic decision of joining a gang & he felt he had no way out or anybody to talk to.

The moral of the story is how many of us can identify with karen? How many of our sons are Ra-Ra in the sense of succumbing to peer pressure, committing criminal acts.So , parents are we going to be our kids friends , or parents? if you chose parents , that means being nosy , and involved in their lives , who influence do you want to guide them.Yours or a stranger? they might not say it but they need us.The only question is are we listening?
