Inspiring and Awesome News About Some Really Inspiring an Awesome Kids!

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB)  A local mother says she tried to punish her son by making him mow lawns for free. But it backfired -- he enjoyed it.'

Now, it has turned into a community service project for a group of teens.

"That's originally how it started. Punishment. And he loved it!" Barbara Wilson said.  

Her discipline plan for her son Travis Durham backfired.

"(I told him to) go cut a couple of our neighbors' yards, and when I got home, he had cut eight yards, front and back. He loves doing it," Wilson said.

Durham wanted to continue and got his two brothers and cousin on board.

"We're doing it for the community, (for) people who can't get out and do it," Durham said. "And I got my brothers involved because I kind of showed them and told them the good effects."

I'm so proud of these young people I could just burst!

Make Them Pay For Their Own Actions!

NO! I don't agree that parents should be the one to pay for their children's mistakes!  

That's what's wrong with these kids now.  Somebody else is always taking responsibility for THEIR mistakes and poor choices!  Somebody else is ALWAYS to blame for little deQuan or little Johnny's idiotic behavior!  Somebody else is ALWAYS the fall guy when little Shaniqua or Barbara Ann get knocked up. 

How about we STOP blaming the parents?  How about we STOP blaming everyone and their proverbial brother and sister?   How about we STOP giving these little law breaking brats every excuse to do whatever right here and right now?

 How about instead we Make these children...

 FACE REALITY

TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR ACTIONS

MAKE THEM  PAY FOR THEIR OWN MISTAKES

How about we do all the above  as oppose to what we've been doing?  

How about we allow the children who break rules and/or laws to face the consequences of their own actions without the crippling co-dependant B.S.  And without all the drugs and meds and crapola that goes along with that?

How about we do that?

How about we stop giving free passes to  these law breaking thugs and gangsta wanna bes by forcing them to stand on their own two feet and taking it like the "man" and "woman" they all have convinced themselves to be?

Developing strategies for their cases should ease up some of that so called boredom they claim to have.  The same boredom they use as an excuse for breaking laws.  

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

And how about we garnishee their pay checks until they've paid everything back?  Put a lien on everything they have?   

Place them under work orders to the people they vandalized and/or stole from until the debt, court costs and any and all medical bills have been paid in full.  PLUS a hefty 25% additional costs for pain and suffering to their victims.

Unrealistic you say?  Not at all.  

Put them to work!  Continue to  feed them, house them, clothe them.  But put them to work at whatever crap job we can find and take  all their money and put it directly towards paying for whatever they vandalized, destroyed and/or stole.

Make them get out on the streets and clean them.  Make them clean the cages at the Zoo, local animal shelters.  Make them scrape road kill.   

Oh I could go on and on and on with my list of things I'd have them do until their debts were wiped clear. 

And they don't get to stop when they turn a certain age.  Oh no! No! No, they get to keep on working and paying out their money until every single penny is paid back.  They move, the debt follows them!     In fact, they should not be allowed to leave the city until 90% of the debt is paid.  

In reality it's a win/win.  The city/state don't have to put out extra money for clean up, fix up, etc.  And best of all, the little thugs won't have the time or energy to get bored.

Update about 'Drop charges against transgender teen defending herself!' on Change.org

If you signed the petition, then you already have gotten this message.  For those of you who haven't, here's an update:


Hi,

Thank you all for signing my petition asking for the charges against my sister, Jewlyes Gutierrez to be dropped. More than 200,000 of you took action and the outpouring of support means so much to us!

The Judge recently placed Jewlyes in a restorative justice process - this allows her and the other girls involved in the fight to work toward a resolution that doesn't involve the courts. Once she completes that program her charge will be dropped!

Jewlyes was also nominated to be San Francisco Pride’s Grand Marshal! The SF Pride Celebration and Parade is the largest LGBT gathering in the nation. She is nominated alongside some amazing LGBT activists and would really appreciate your vote!

If you'd like to vote for her, please click this link: http://sfpride.org/vote/

Thank you so much for your support!

Best,

Valerie

Please Sign the Petition! Drop charges against transgender teen defending herself!

My sister, Jewlyes Gutierrez, is a 16 year old teenager, who identifies as a transgender female. Her gender identity has caused her to be a victim of taunting, harassment, and bullying by her peers.  On November 13, 2013, Jewlyes defended herself against three girls who were tormenting and then physically attacked her. This was captured on video and you can see Jewlyes trying to run away. The students involved were suspended but to our disbelief, District Attorney Daniel Cabral then filed charges against Jewlyes for battery - she's the only one charged.

Jewlyes should not be charged criminally. Rather, this altercation should be the responsibility of the school district, who should take proper action and implement the necessary resources to prevent incidents like these from happening again.  

One of the girls who attacked Jewlyes had repeated bullied her - even spitting gum in her face. Jewlyes sought help from the assistant principal in fear of her physical safety but the issue was not properly addressed, no necessary action was taken by the administration. The bullying continued.

Honest Teens in New Jersey!

Now for some Great News involving teenagers!  I love posting this kind of stuff!  Renews my hope for the future!



From Wayne, NJ:

 A broken lock led several young men to believe a store they were entering was open on a Sunday morning in New Jersey, but Buddy's Small Lots was supposed to be closed.


Surveillance cameras catch the men doing their shopping and then searching for a clerk.
They call out for someone to ring up their purchases, but they don't know the store is actually closed.



The men end up leaving their money on the counter, take their merchandise, and leave.

From The WTF????!!!! Files (An Editorial)

"May you live in interesting times."     

Though it's unclear where that saying really came from, it packs a bit of a wallop just the same.  Because we are definitely (more so than ever before) living in "interesting times!"

More gruesome than any slasher/sci fi film, the daily news is a cesspool of horrific acts committed by individuals in the most god awful manner, for the most sickening lame ass reasons.

Boredom or Just Being a Fuck Tard?

The latest string of fucktard activity comes from Oklahoma and Indiana.  Both involving "bored teens."  Seriously?  You're bored so you go out and kill an innocent person and/or animal? WTF?!

And you wanna know what's really bad about their excuse?  Sadly and sickeningly enough saying you're bored only ranks a close second to shrugging your shoulders and muttering I dunno.  Remember that excuse?  Anyone?  Anyone?

So to ease your boredom you go out and kill innocents?   Well, guess what?  I hear there's a lot of BORED in-mates there in prison.  And I'll give ya three guesses what they do to ease their boredom!    And yours to boot!  

Bored teens kill Australian baseball player.  OMG!  This is just too much!

And in other news...yet another bored teen goes out and hunts down little kittens with a bow & arrow.  And then post pictures of his kill on Face Book.  Big Bwana out wits kittens in alley!  Oh you're such a mighty mighty hunter aren't ya?   Asshole!

Cure for Boredom???

Back when they were teenagers, my boys told me only once  they were bored.   Only once you say?  Ohhhh yea!   You see, I did what MY parents did to me when I slipped up and said I was bored, I put'em to work cleaning the house, the yard, and a wild assortment of other chores.  Naturally I had to stand over them, supervising them and reminding them that boredom is a symptom of laziness and stupidity.  Hard work is the cure!    And yes!  I sincerely believe that.  It kept my boys (and a few of their friends) from going out and doing some fucktard thing like killing a person or animals. Not to mention, my house and yard looked FABULOUS for a good long time!  

In all honesty, I say it's long past due to  lay down the law the old fashioned way.  Put them brats to work!  Let doing a good job, experienced gained,  a hot meal (or two) be their reward!  It'll look great on a resume!  And...EVERYONE will benefit!

There is plenty of litter on the streets that need to be picked up!  There's lots of graffiti needing to be cleaned off buildings, under-passes and the like.    Put their bored asses on a farm and let them work there for their room and meals.   I promise you, by the time they get finished, they'll be too pooped to be bored.  And even if they still managed to find an ounce of energy to be bored, they'll be too tired to do anything about it!  

I am serious as a heart attack people!    These work initiatives need to be implemented in every city, town, burb in every state across this Nation.  NOW! 

Work their little bored asses into the ground and you'll cut down on this freeze dried bullshit big time!
