So as I read through the blogs of my students, I realize that these kids and the youth of America are completely depressed. I mean these kids have it bad... All I read is "today was a bad day..." "Today sucked..." "Another bad day..." "my friends hate me, I failed this test, my girlfriend/boyfriend is mean/sad/happy/poopy/etc." I tell you these kids have it so bad. I mean their lives are falling apart, they have nothing to look forward too except getting into their expensive vehicles and driving home, after stopping to spend money at Walmart/fastfood/video joint/etc., and type on their "cheap?" computers.
I wonder if students in Israel write to their blogs like that??? "Today was a bad day, we ran from a sniper and some of my friends were blown up by a suicide bomber..." Hmmm, well, I bet the Israeli youth just don't understand how hard it is to be an American youth with all the peer pressure, money, computers, food and security...
You know... Today was a "bad" day in most of the world. Thank God for America...
Peace!
