Unfair.

Unfair.

I am not making light of this word, but it certainly isn't used FAIRLY.
Ironic, isn't it?

Adults talk about unfair taxes, unfair mortgages, unfair government, and whatever.



But what about us children?

The adults worry about their future.
"What if we can't make our mortgage payment in time?"
"What about the foreclosure threats?"

You already have a life half lived out, a life with a fair start.
But what about us?

You start us with a ruined economy, oil prices sky high, minimum wage jobs- if we could possibly get a job at all.
Adults have ruined it all for us.

Adults today need to take responsibility for the obstacles they have made for the youth who will be adults tomorrow.

Absolutely, it would be difficult to do so, without a doubt.

But it is necessary.


You adults may be thinking to me that I am ungrateful for what adults already do for us.

That's not true. I thank you for all you've done, but a wonderful present doesn't help when it leads to a terrible future.
It reminds me of a saying:

"Give a man a fish, and you have fed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, you have fed him for a lifetime."

Instead of helping us as it us now, you should be doing all you can to improve the environment of the future give us the skills to become successful adults.

So, the next time you adults do anything, you should be thinking about how it helps us, because we children are the generation that will carry the world on.



It is your responsibility to help these children do this.
