State of the Youth Address

If we do not cease feeling sorry for our youth, they will face a sort of danger down the road that will be extremely difficult to overturn. In so many arenas, our youth are struggling. Academically, so many are behind. Socially, the idea of communication and respect for each other has been distorted. Competition on athletic fields has turned into aggression and fighting. So, I ask, 'What is going on?' And no, it's not all youth that fall into this category. But, there are more than enough to make this a serious concern. And for those not mentioned, there is a category titled 'emotional damage,' which houses a huge population of youth. So, to all of our leaders, coaches, mentors, teachers, and parents, it's time to stop feeling sorry for our youth and help them before it's too late.
