Preach actually made a really good point about parents backing up their children’s bad behavior, because that’s what they wanted their parents to do when they were kids.

The first time I caught myself saying something like that I had to stop and say to myself "how the hell did my mother's voice just come out of my mouth"😂😂😂 There's also a bit of truth in what you said about some of these parents just have no respect for anyone including themselves and are just passing that on to their kids, I've actually seen videos that parents record that shows their toddler destroying a little play restaurant that another little girl was playing at at a daycare center.

My mom is a teacher, and she told me that her job got so much easier when she went from teaching regular to teaching ESL (English Second Language). One of here biggest challenges was getting the parents on the same page as to what needed to be done. Even if she was able to make progress with a student throughout the year, all that progress was lost over the summer or outside of school hours. When she switched to ESL, she was dealing with kids who’s biggest handicap was the language. The kids wanted to learn, and if anything were getting more pressure put on them from their parents to learn the material… but my mom never complained to me about kids disrespecting her, ignoring her, telling her their parents said they didn’t need to listen to her because of her race… none of those issues once she switched. As Aba mentioned, this is 100% an American issue.

My husband and I have one daughter, 7, who is in 1st grade. Both her kindergarten and first grade teacher always remarked about how well behaved my daughter is and how she is very respectful. They were so thankful because they both made statements how teaching today is extremely difficult because many children will back talk, throw things and go into complete screaming fits on the ground. Even my daughter comes home sometimes and complains about a few of her classmates “acting like wild animals.” She complains that it is hard for her to learn because the teacher has to frequently stop to attend to a disruptive r and disrespectful student. These type of kids make school difficult for everyone.

[@XalesTardis]

My child had the same problem in 2nd grade. 1st she had an older teacher, 30 years experience, and she said our child was one of her better behaved students and this was the year when they lifted lockdown so the students could go to school. We prepped her as best we could at home for the classroom, and 1st grade was a great experience she was so ready for 2nd grade. But boy was that year rough. A young teacher, who had never taught 2nd graders. Supposedly our child cried a lot in the class -- we know she cries as a stress response, but she would come home just miserable because the teacher had gotten harsh, or the other kids were disruptive. We tried to work with the teacher, or get her room swapped, but our child didn't want to be in the other 2nd grade classroom because it was even louder. She's in a new school for 3rd grade and is flourishing. A young, but well trained and dedicated teacher, a smaller classroom size, and the school makes it clear they have parental expectations. We're back to flourishing and loving school.

There are parents/guardians who have kids just to claim child support, government benefits, or something else that they can benefit from. So he’s saying not every parent who has kids, deserves to have kids, because they look at their kids as income or leverage as opposed to them being their child. To say “not everyone deserves a child” sounds pretty harsh for the people who can’t reproduce because of medical reasons. I’ve met some people who would be great parents, but the chances of them having a child are slim to none sadly. It’s not because they don’t deserve to have kids and be parents, it’s just that they can’t have children who carry part of their genes. Some of them I know have adopted kids and some of them just accept the fact that if they can’t have children who carry their genes, they’ll never have children.

Some parents will put their kids in programs they wished they themselves excelled at and put unbearable amounts of pressure on the child. Some parents always end up shipping their kids to their grandparents house. These are the kids that act rambunctious. They act out for attention because they know that they are not wanted at home. And when the parent gets notified of poor behaviour, the parent doesn’t even want to discipline their child, so they refuse to acknowledge any fault of their child or of their parenting. It will end up being the teacher’s fault. I’ve even been asked to help a kid excel in the extracurricular programs at home. HOW? How can I help YOUR kid be better in YOUR house??

Fortunately I ran into her while at work. At first I wasn’t sure it was her, but once I was sure that it was her I wanted to go and hug her and apologize.

I am a ballet teacher. I teach at one school where the children are from low income, often single parent homes, the children are emotionally volatile, intense, sometimes violent, you can tell though that when given structure they can improve. I also teach a christian dance studio, the kids there are respectful, eager to learn and all good friends with each other. I don't think religion itself is the difference, but that these kids have heavy involvement from 2 parents, and are restricted from a lot of media that is inappropriate for children.

[@listentotheanimalscreamsha1511]

My cousin went to a Christian school away from public schooling it does make a difference. I'm not into religion but those kids do better and have better boundaries and structure. They not around the hood sh*t so they are more focused. I wish my Mom would have put me in one. I went to school with pimps, drug dealers, car crackers, and everything bad still didn't;t get into it. I was lucky I refused to be dysfunction like my family and saw schooling as a way out.

[@klnkat6600]

There is a reason why schools with Christian tenets produce excellent outcomes. The underlying structure comes directly from the living Creator. God originally created human beings to a very specific design - so when we follow that, we thrive. We become the best people we can possibly be, no matter where we started in life, nor how much trauma there has been. The main ingredients are: a two parent family, a strong male authority, a female nurturer and calm but firm boundaries for any children. Children's welfare should be prized above the parent's happiness. A stable marriage is more important to a child's future well being than a passing sexual or career satisfaction is to either parent. We are all designed to be made of 3 in 1 -- spirit, mind and body. When we deny our spiritual side we become hopelessly imbalanced. Our thinking gets skewed. The path to maturity requires sacrificing our immediate desires for future gain. Without that, we are more like emotionally manic animals who escaped the zoo keepers. The sexually explicit feminist explosion that currently trains girls to act like the worst kind of horn dog as an act of some demented kind of female empowerment is the worst possible kind of social experiment. No wonder our children are so confused they are actually sacrificing any hope of bearing children and even their own body parts to the gender gods. Remember, we humans inevitably worship something .... you must choose for yourself what that is and then live with the consequences.

@@klnkat6600 I just want to be clear that I grew up christian but deeply disagree with you. the children benefit from attention, good morals, love, time spent with them, being kept away from things that are not appropriate for developing minds, but that can be provided in other types of homes as well. queer parents often do a very good job with children. The oppression of women and gay people was something that hurt me deeply and led me to question the harmful teachings of the religion I grew up in.

Preach is right about the music. My dad had classic rock music playing on speakers in our living room nearly 24/7 but any "adult" themes went completely over my head until I was 13-14. I think the most overt song would have been 'Pour Some Sugar on Me' by Def Leppard. But even that song is SUPER tame compared to what's playing on the radio nowadays. The fact that there are parents that encourage their kids to sing and dance to super adult music is just insane to me.

[@Omnihilo]

I’m in my late 20’s and I distinctly remember my mother playing similar music in front of me (e.g. Big Pun, Sisqó, Ying Yang Twins), teaching me to “twerk” (before it was called that, of course), etc. Now, my peers are raising these 5 year olds the same way and the problem has grown exponentially, especially with social media warping society the way it is. I remember at around 6/7 I began becoming disgusted and even feeling violated when my parents forced me to listen to this type of music. Of course, I wasn’t allowed to express this disgust. I talked about this on here a few years back and was told I was “being dramatic”, a “prude”, and “kids aren’t that sensitive, they won’t even remember” (a sentiment you see in the pin of shame above me). Now, this is where we are today. This isn’t new. It’s quietly been going on for years and is now coming into public view. Nobody listens until it’s too late.

That current me and 6 year old me are “prudes”, and that they were fine with it when they were kids. That they “enjoyed” it. Interesting how they magically “enjoyed” something they claim “kids don’t remember”. It’s the typical “I was raised this way, so it must be good parenting. Admitting they neglected/abused me or ever did anything wrong is too scary and hard. So I’ll just cope with cognitive dissonance, and attack anything that threatens my delusions.” People like that are barely more advanced than domesticated animals, there’s nothing you can tell them.

One of these women stayed inside on her phone and the other stayed inside playing video games (I understand single mother is very hard but that is no excuse to completely neglect their kids from basic care like batheing and feeding them). I also remember watching a sad video of a very young British girl who was sadly beaten to death by her own mother and Stepfather. Where the mother would get her doing dances with her on tiktok to get clout but when the cameras were off. It was found out she largely ignored her daughter and hurt her when her daughter started asking for food (like real basic stuff parents are supposed to do for their kids). This evil mother then made a "feel bad for me" post on social media crying about her daughter passing away (her and her boyfriend's fault) but then the next day, uploaded a video of herself on tiktok smiling and dancing as if she didn't care. The stepfather also would join in with the abuse on the poor young child.

I totally agree with you guys, now I might be old 71, I had my son when I was 22, ok That's a long time ago, he was " hyper active" in those days ADHD was an unknown thing, still my child NEVER EVER was allowed to be disrespectful to others, he was a handfull, I admit, especially since I was a single parent, worked and raised my son to become a warm and loving man. But what I se today in young children......😢 just makes me want to cry. "Grown up" ppl behave like SPOILED BRATS AND THEN THEY PUT CHILDREN INTO THIS WORLD, NO, NO,NO. I'M NOT saying I was perfect but I was there for my child, taught him maners had had RULES, you misbehave, go to your room and think it over, when you finished thinking you can come out and we discuss wyh you got time out. Worked most of the time, cost me a lot of nerves, I admit, but it was worth it. Today children that are misbehaving and are out of control get "diagnosed ADHD" cause it's so easy to blame poor parenting giving it a diagnose and you as a parent are being felt sorry for, BULL SHIT. I CAN SPOT AN ADHD CHILD FROM A MILE AWAY, AND A LOUSY PARENT, it only takes me one look and I know.

[@danak2230]

I'm a former teacher, and a big part of why I quit was kids and parents. Exactly 1 year out of the 7 I taught did I have a well-behaved class that acted the way I remember kids acting when I went through school. (I'm 31.) Many kids are rude, obstinate, and selfish. If something didn't immediately appeal them, they had to be coaxed or threatened. Parents expect kids to get personalized attention but are raising kids that can't work independently while teachers work with small groups. 50-75% of kids expect all of the teachers attention, time, rules, and routines to benefit them specifically. They have no concept that other kids need things that might not appeal to them (like working silently instead of in partners). And I worked with 10-11 year olds. Not kindergarten.

This is why public school should not be automatically chosen. If the kids needs are greater then some type of homeschool or special needs program should be done. These large classrooms are only good for quiet passive independent children. It’s not for everyone.

Its a travesty how some black parents raise their kids.

[@Altlos489]

At some point it no longer is just the fault of the parents. Elementary school and earlier is definitely on the parents. Middle school is where sometimes even good parenting can have issues since the kids suddenly think they're grown and don't have to listen anymore. It's also where you really see the cliques start forming based on who you hang out with. Once you hit highschool kids it's fair game as to who is to blame, like the parenting at an early age might be the problem or it could be peer influenced behavior. At the end of the day I hold parents more accountable for their children, but at the same time once you're old enough to be thinking about your future i.e. highschool age you should be able to tell what's right and wrong.

I'm worried about my kids going out into the world and getting influenced by kids who don't have enough love and attention at home and who come to school mirroring what they see their parents/parent doing at home, so what I do is make sure I'm not only poor into my kids at home but I teach them right from wrong and what's appropriate and inappropriate for their age.

Also, from Love Songs to diss tracks to political songs (All of which are culturally common in music) is how well some either rizz, diss, and style on a person with their sliver tongue and library of lyrical intelligence.

They would sing chicken head, slob on my knob, etc. The difference is that we got disciplined if we got caught around adults singing those lyrics, and there was a sense of shame. But now it seems more parents are encouraging it and think it’s cute so the kids see no problem with it.

[@worscohli]

to be fair, Chicken head sounded kinda childish 😂 Bop Bop, Chicken chicken, bop bop, chicken head! like that shit was Hillarious 😂😂 i thought it meant dancing 🤷🏾‍♂️😂 but nah i dont think we were FIVE doing this. maybe 8-9, which is almost preteen. still not good, but better than friggin FIVE 😂😂😂😂

[@rebel1612]

That’s so accurate! I am 33 and would never seeing or dance like the 5 year olds in the video. I would feel ashamed if I did do sort of dance in front my parents

[@chesterlestrange7725]

See in 2024 shame is no longer allowed. For some reason weak people have decided that no one should ever feel one of the most important human emotions. Shame is Soooooooo bloody important. It's your own personal bullshit detector, you feel it when you know you have done wrong.

I left a comment on another video about my 20 year old daughter. I commented how shes not into wearing revealing clothing & shes not into "Sexy Red" & ghetto hood rat stuff. They commented back calling her a "pick me." _SHE chose_ to focus on school & starting a career with relationships & partying on the back burner. She talked about girls wearing lingerie to class- in _her_ words! Like what kind of society is this when you want to do good & its called bad, and bad things are considered good? Im early 40s & ive NEVER thought society would be so backwards! I dont think that society cares about standards & morals anymore. Edit: *yall got me in tears- happy tears.* I'm VERY sensitive when it comes to being the best mom I can and leading by example. I'm very proud of my daughter but I take a minute to try to see other people's experiences and perspectives. I looked at those comments on the other channel & it made me question myself enough to reach out to my daughter. I taught her to be what _SHE_ WANTS to be not what I want her to be. *But one thing I taghut her is that you will NEVER **_EVER_** own anything but your character, memories, legacy, & purpose: health, looks, time, & taxes are some of the reasons nothing else matters. It can ALL change or be taken away in the blink of an eye. Life is FINITE & its the intangible that's priceless & last forever.* EDIT: My daughter was raised to openly talk to me about _ANYTHING!_ I NEVER shut her down. I do give her a perspective that everyone isn't going to agree about your lifestyle. She was raised with emphasis on character & spirituality. I NEVER forced anything on her. But I would go into her room or find her randomly reading the Bible & started questioning EVERY faith. On her own time I would get questions on everything from witchcraft, to boys, sexuality, God, Egypt... she wanted to learn & explore & I supported her. Now that she's in college she's more observant & aware. She's wanting to focus on her future and yes: she DOES have issues in relationships because she wants to wait til marriage but also I prepared her that realistically she may want to before had but that's between _HER & GOD_ It's not my business until she tells me but she's scared to death because a young man has tried to force her. She really wants to focus on school & is currently on the deans list. Weekends nights, I'll call her & she'd be in her dorm room studying or sleeping unless she's at an event or has friends over. I partied in college & so did her dad. She's just different. She doesn't like this new music either. She has an old soul. EDIT: I just didn't think we'd be at a time where she (people like her) are picked on because they dont want to be over exposed or wild. Even online through _my comments,_ I wouldn't think that she would be called a "pick me" for *doing the bare minimum to leave a legacy, establish her character and career, & to carry her self in what should be an acceptable manner without being vulgar.* you can be sexy fully clothed. You can get attention with out acting negatively. You can leave a positive imprint by how you live. You can do what you want and still be a _lady_ or _classy_ with it. Why is it that even _wanting_ to be a positive influence is being viewed in such a negative way?

[@ULuvJanae]

Ugh she gives me hope. I’m in my twenties, single, and about to graduate. I would like a relationship, but I don’t want to change who I am to impress others. She sounds like she is competent, level headed, and can think for herself. Go mama 💕

[@xiii0722]

Thank you for sharing. Damn. And have a like

[@a.s4587]

See I am reckless at the mouth, and would have said "y'all too stupid to know what a pick me is, as that is not the definition. Stay in school"

[@WolfamongSheep626]

I bet it was all Black Women calling her a pick me for simply respecting herself.

[@McBernes]

Well, to hell with those commenters then. It sounds like your daughter has her head on straight.

Responsibility. Accountability. Love. Understanding. These are four things we need to have for our children and our children's children to set things back on track. I know these kids, they're my nieces and younger cousins. They're either letting loose on the world what isn't being addressed at home, or they're being sabotaged at home and set out into the world. Despite what many may believe, they're not unreasonable, but a lot of issues come down to- "You can't parent someone else's kids." My nieces genuinely act like they despise each other and they are spiteful little things. They'll say some of the wildest things anyone has ever heard, they're not even teenagers yet and saying things like- "I hope someone kidnaps you so I never have to see your face again." And that's just how they act towards each other. An example of this generation not being broken, but they're not being helped- They used to live with me for about a year, while my sister and her husband looked for a place to stay. One day I said "enough is enough", and I sat them down and had an honest conversation with them about why they are the way they are towards each other, and they opened up to me, and to each other about how they both felt like the other gets special treatment from their grandparents on their dad's side and stuff like that, and in the end they seemed to genuinely have a better understanding with each other. My sister saw me talking with them and asked what was up, and I told her they had been fighting and I was talking with both of them about it, and she basically just said something along the lines of "Don't bother, they won't listen anyways, just yell at or punish them if they annoy you, and if they're fighting, just ignore them until they tire themselves out" and then walked away. Ever since they moved out their behavior has been getting worse, and has escalated to them doing things like bullying kindergarteners by spraying them in the eyes with a mixture of alcohol, hand sanitizer, and water in a spray bottle, and at one point they decided they wouldn't get on the bus, and would instead walk to school after playing hookey...they ain't even got hormones yet, and my sister is already messing up her children. In the end, we gotta fix problems like this with ourselves before we can be helping anyone else, and we gotta remember that help can only go so far for those who don't want it.

[@theMightyWhytey]

I will pray for your family… that is wild!

[@InkyDustMan]

@@theMightyWhytey Thank you. We could use it. Have a good life stranger.

[@strengthincompassion]

Hope your sister gets help 😞 that's super hard on you to be unable to help her kids

[@KagomeYasha023]

This situation is so common it’s not even funny, parents just straight up take no accountability for their kids they chose to have and just ignore them.

What terrible mom
