Youth...

Where have they gone, what really went wrong...

I wake today each day with no job,tax man or any other parental responsibilty.Striving each day to be better than the day that past and to foresee dreams so big for what tomorrow might be, but no I woke up reeking like yesterday with the same 4  friends I have been with for 4 days now. 

Isolated as I want a new feeling...my bank balance is in a negative credit with the merchant. Depressed and alone my high has gone and reality says another... I need a fix. A quick plan of negative conversation as we all done and dusted we "google"( and not Microsoft software) the plan is full. Scared to say no because we all need a solution... I sacrifice my moms phone like a war hero saying "I had enough" to my highness friends. I'm in with the guys.. We smoke... We high and for the next 2 hours we sorted... Shared and despair needless to think to what I have done moms wireless and I'm highness on sorrow of fallen tears. I find myself out of stock and broke as Zimbabwe it's the next soldier to lay down the gun and man up. Peer pressure is mounting, I get the gun turned on me to provide this want, need,habit-soldier day dream..."do what  you did to prove you are who you say you are.

I have not been home day 3... Walk in moms crazy as hell...
I argue my way thru moms is mad as hell. I get angry blame my dad for not being there,mom is selfish has dad's money I want my piece of the cut. I decide to go and take some of dad's tool as collateral. Let's get high lotto is in we back at it. And so it goes on till I have taken my heart out and smoked myself to a narrative shell of somebody I used to know. 

Mom made a case I'm behind bars begging no friends,strangers that I'm confined to... 8 months  of petty crime to my name.

These are the struggle a lot of parents go thru on a daily basis. Some fortunate others no so lucky... Youths where have you gone... Peer pressure, uneducated on how to do simple math of life,unemployed and seeking attention to fit in where you can get in attitude is the most crippling thing to our youth. Lossing touch of being real has left our kids out of control. Our social circles of today compared to yester year will remain a dream to the youth of today. They live a life faced with dilemmas that they can't solve.We need to take back what is ours... Parents take back you children,brothers be your brothers keeper, sisters your prince needs his princess sister... Communities take back where you live... Our kids the youth of today are spiral so fast and out of control that we can't keep up... Stop that train you have the power to believe in you, family and communities... 

Till next time..

Selfies...

Selfies---It’s a part of our modern culture that we all engage in without any real thought, because, well, everyone else is.But most of the time, we do it so we can post them onto social media and show everyone what we look like at our best, and how we spend our time. There are even trends that we jump on board with for no real reason, like after-sex selfies (literally, selfies taken immediately after sex), couplies (selfies of couples, generally quite smug-looking) and uglies (selfies where you pull a face.)


Selfies have bypassed the standard social norms and barriers of ageism and cool-ism. Teens are obsessed, parents think it’s funny to get involved in the trend, celebrities were made for them. They seem to fit everyone to the point where selfies take up all our social media newsfeeds, but is that such a good thing?


A recent study,says it isn’t,that spending time on Facebook looking at selfies is linked to negative feelings about body image.

It is frightening to see the negative impact that a split-second selfie can have on young women, although on some level, we could have predicted this. Constantly looking at carefully edited photos is bound to have an impact on whoever’s browsing them, and it is not that surprising that it makes women worry more about their own body image.

Why we take them then?

Scientists in this study haven’t answered why we’re taking selfies. We jump on board these trends, and we generally do it without thinking, but when we stop and ask ourselves why we’re actually doing it – what will we find?

 I’d say it’s because it’s a fun way to capture a moment with a friends, or to show my friends what I’m doing. But that’s not really true. If I ask myself really honestly, I’d say it’s part of showing everyone it is what I look like (after a bit of Instagramming) and this is how I spend my time.

This creates a false sense of real existence that we as humans engage in... Socially and in reality... It leaves me intrigued on what people think of me and also shows emotion with no substance. Touch has lost its sense of feel and emotions have become words both negative and positive. seeing somebody up real and close is not the same than checking the Facebook update and knowing how you feel... but can that really happen...  So who knows what selfies really do but we trend the hell out of it so we can feel something... 


Well till next time...
