Over the last 10 Posts I've tried to remind you just what the Lack of Self-Esteem can mean for not only our children but for Adults too!

We see so many changes going on around us affecting how we feel incapable of sustaining not only our work and family life but how will we cope with changes around us we have no control over.

Our childrens education in school with state and federal governments dictating the young and their mental and physical health are pawns of political enfighting for control of what they need to be taught and not.

Much of the lack of self-esteem comes from KIDS living in single parent homes where 70% of crime comes from. Getting their education from the street due in many cases of only having 1 parent at home.

This phenomenon occuring for the past 30 years is beyond what parents/single can endure.

In so many instances, a ONE parent family doesn't have all the answers a 2 parent home does.

I also introduced to you a new word I created: nephoria! During my research in writing my book: "What Bad We Do", I couldn't find a word to use for Negative Euphoria. All of the 32 Problems I discussed bring on a euphoria, with negative outcome be it mental, physical or monetary.

I talked about a true highlight in my life of becoming National Educational Coordinator of Outreach Reentry Ministry, located in Florence, Al.

I've been truly Blessed in meeting Pastor Willie Simpson, the National Director, who has been ex-offenders , since the mid-eighties when he himself was released from prison, starting a program teaching Preparation, Transition, and Stabilization. Over the past 5 years, I've met and learned from some of the finest people God has put on this Earth, fully emersed into helping those incarcerated, be released and start living on the outside again.

We also learned about Bullying, an act brought on to me in my 7, 8 and 9th grades living in Elizabeth, N.J.

The terrible act of bullying is everywhere! So many children have committed SUICIDE due to the acts of being bullied at such a young age.

The remaining CHALLENGES coming up are just as enlighting as those you've already discovered.

The Problems coming up in the next 2 weeks are: Domestic Violence, Abuse of Authority and, Human TRAFFICKING!

I'll be talking about ANGER, present in many of the 32 Problems delivered to the millions of helpless victims.

One of last Challlenges I'll be talking about is the by-stander. That's US! You and Me, who don't do a thing about the Problems going on around us, and DO NOTHING about it! Oh, we complain, we belly-ache, scream til our lungs get sore, BUT do nothing. How do things get so bad around us? How did the "DARK" web get to be 400 to 500 times bigger than the World Wide Web? Why did we let drugs and alcohol control the daily lives of half our nation and the world? We throw up our hands into the air, stick our heads in the ground, and pay the price. I'm reminded of the elderly gentleman on America's Got Talent: "What a ya gonna do"?

All of us need to start putting some "skin in the game", learn from our past, hope life is eternal, and YES, PRAY that my words don't fall on deaf ears.

Be SAFE and Be BLESSED!
