Youth's Problems

  It is not easy to be young. The process of growing up is often fraught with hazards that those who are adults sometimes forget. Sadly, older people sometimes contribute to their problems.

  Of all places that ought not be the source of youth's problems is the home. The home ought be a haven and a place of security and guidance. Sometimes the home makes life almost unbearable for children.

  God places the responsibility regarding children on parents. When parents allow themselves selfish indulgence, neglect the home, let love erode, even suffer divorce, and the physical and spiritual needs are not provided, the home becomes a threat to the child by giving him a distorted outlook on life.

  We may wonder why some children behave so badly as they do. A close look at the home from which they come may reveal much of the reason.
