Kids Don't Grow Up Wanting to Die!

I have been watching the news and reading papers from all over the last couple of weeks. I have read web blogs, letters to the editor.... I have seen many things to cry about. I see people pointing fingers at the current President, I see people pointing to a lack of God and parents and many other excuses for teen suicides. On television I watch as 10,000 kids die each day of starvation. I see kids running our streets with no place to go, I see trash, I see drunk drivers slapped on the wrist.

I see the jobless, and I see unemployment, I see low wages for those that do work. I see Senator's and other State officials are lying to our police departments, as well as to the public. I see the family drunks in convenience stores buying beer with food stamps, and I am sure they are not feeding that to the baby. I see boys and girls at our schools laughed at because they do not have nice clothes or their shoes ripped and worn to pieces.

I see working mothers crying hoping they can find a better way for their children, I see children crying without their mother. I see fathers long-gone wondering if the kid was really theirs. I see drug dealers. I met a man today that smokes marijuana but does not know where his next check will come from. I saw a man that works twelve hours a day and belongs to two churches telling his son he did not have time to play ball. I saw a coach using foul language to the ten and eleven year-old
