So you have one of those of the mystery-moods at your house! Sometimes he seems to have rebellion for a back-bone and moods changable as the winds. One day he (or she) is as proud as a peacock sporting two tails, and the next he looks as disheveled as if he had been drug by a bull through a thicket. He knows only two moods, hilarity and depression. Besides what's going on inside his body (and there is plenty) consider his outward circumstances.
The only legal thing he can do is go to school--it is illegal not to!
He cannot do so many things adults do, and he is disinterested in things little children do.
Cigarette sales are illegal (to him).
He (in Texas) cannot drive a car.
It is illegal for him to possess alcohol.
It is illegal for him to work (on most jobs.)
He has a fat chance of being able to marry.
He can not vote to change anything.
He cannot enlist in the armed forces.
Granted that there are some things listed here that Christians do not engage in, PARENTS, how rich would life be for you under those conditions?
Would you get sulky, moody, discontented and unhappy?
Let us remember that good deprived of adventure and excitement becomes demonic. We have given some reasons for the young feeling disconnected. It beooves us to provide moments dripping with life for them. BL
