Dear Youth


There is so much more to life than the material. It sickens me at the utter lack of interest in anything substantial and concrete like say books and education in today's youth. I'm not sure who to blame, the parents who indulge their children with the extravagant or the media. Maybe I should blame both. In videos it's the sensationalization of the diamonds, trips, clothes and it's the parents that give in. Who cares if you have diamonds around your neck or a porsche in the garage if you can't even communicate. There are so many kids out there that have nothing to contribute to society but their greed and willful ignorance. If we're supposed to be the future, I'm scared of what's to come. Nothing will change unless we(youth) stop being so complacent and money hungry. Trust me, there is nothing wrong with liking the finer things in life but there is something wrong when you can't talk about anything else but the superficial.
