Parents, pay close attention to your children
However, because of the surprising and disappointing behaviour displayed by these college students, I wonder if the students realize how much their parents endure for them. They seem to be of the belief that they can do anything, anywhere, whenever they feel like.
Have they forgotten the struggle it took to reach the college level of their education? Is it that they think they have reached the last level so they can act foolish? After parents invest so much in their children, itâs a shame to see how some of our girls allow themselves to be used by boys and so-called men, who donât have any level of respect for them and donât have their best interests at heart.
The young men who lurk around these female college students are lewd, loud and indisciplined; some of them
canât begin to spell their own names, but they think that they are Godâs gift to these female college students, who are so much more intelligent than them.
Itâs difficult to understand what they see in these men who have nothing to offer in their educational growth. Iâm not putting anyone down, but itâs time for these young ladies to realize that they shouldnât associate themselves with those pimp type men. You have reached a step in your life when itâs time for you to stay focused on your education, put aside distractions and aspire to be the best you possibly can.
Iâm making a special appeal to the parents and guardians of these college students to pay very close attention to their children. Itâs essential to ask them questions such as: Who their friends are? Where they plan to go when they leave school? Who are they going with? What do they plan to do? How long do they plan on staying?
To these college students Iâm asking you to place more emphasis on the company you keep, because company influences you to do things you normally wonât think of doing. Back in my day, churches, communities, police officers and neighbours played a big role in disciplining our children. Today, itâs all about ourselves. Maybe thatâs the reason why they behave the way they do; should we go back to the good old days?
Itâs time for our college students to buckle down and focus on learning, because college isnât a club! I gone.
