People need to stop coddling their children and telling them how wonderful they are when they aren’t. Stop protecting them from failure and the law when they should experience the consequences for their actions.

Teach them how to respect others. Teach them right from wrong.

I recently read that humans are born to be good natured people. It is external factors that create the bad, mean, disrespectful and racist people in this world.

Parents, do your part. Raise your child and those children with whom you come in to contact frequently to be respectable citizens!

Btw, a few teens took down my mailbox last weekend. Well, mine and about 4 others on my street. I never thought I would say this as an adult, “Damn Kids!”
