FAMILY TIME... DOES IT STILL EXIST?
Ok so when I was a child my family always sat around the kitchen table for dinner every night. Cell phones were just coming on the market when I was a teenager and my mom never allowed them at the dinner table. We would order pizza and have movie night (or watch T.G.I.F.) every Friday. The weekends we would spend time together as a family. That has always been the true definition of family time to me.
Nowadays when I go out to dinner with my daughter I see families sitting there on their cell phones. Kids will be at the table watching videos on their tablet. There's no communication. There just seems to be a disconnect. It really bothers me.
Family time is so important because it really brings and keeps a family together. Family time is crucial to children. Children go through life stages where communication and family connection are absolutely necessary. If you cannot dedicate two hours of every day to spend time with your children and work on that strong connection then I think it is time to re prioritize.
We as adults get so caught up in the routine of life. We wake up, go to work, come home, eat dinner, get the children ready for bed, and go to sleep. Then we wake up and repeat our day all over. As parent's we are so concerned with providing for our family that the relationships between families are suffering. Divorce and family separations are at a all time high.
There is a reason for that. Family time isn't what it used to be. Rarely do families sit down at the dinner table and just talk without disruption (cell phones, television, tablets). Most families don't go out as a family any more unless its by obligation.
If families just took a little more time to reconnect with each other we would really see a change in family dynamics!

WHAT IS THE TRUE GATEWAY TO DRUGS?
What is the TRUE gateway to drugs... marijuana or alcohol? Everywhere you look they refer to marijuana as the "gateway to drugs" but I just don't believe that to be true.
First of all, think of it this way. How can marijuana be the gateway to drugs if it's considered a drug itself? You don't just wake up one day and decide to do drugs. Not to mention, you have to know where to get the drugs. So what better way to open your mind to the idea of experimenting with drugs than alcohol.
As a teen, when you drink alcohol you are typically among friends. Friends get together, start to drink, and once they are feeling good they are much more open to the idea of trying something else. I cannot tell you how many times I have been to a party and seen teens willing to smoke marijuana, take pills (not knowing what they even are), snort cocaine, or pretty much do anything else that's available.
These are not the teens that use drugs on a daily basis, but your every day teen that just gets caught in the moment. They may or may not continue to use drugs after they become sober. But the fact remains, the first time a teen will most likely experiment with drugs is when they are using alcohol.
Marijuana simply happens to be the first drug a teen will typically experiment with for one reason... its the most common. But most teens I interviewed who smoked marijuana first didn't venture on to different drugs. They stuck with marijuana.
I conducted thousands of interviews with American teens and over 90% of them tried a drug for the first time when they were drinking alcohol. Those numbers are astounding!
So I ask again, whats the true gateway to drugs? The answer is alcohol.

POEM: You Failed To Understand
You saw the grades fall
And the set of new friends.
You thought nothing at all
Of the new styles and trends.
Arguments each night.
And try as you might
You failed to understand, or comprehend.
You got notes from the school.
You heard of pressure from peers.
You felt such a fool
So you didn't interfere.
The actions were rash.
You were missing some cash.
You failed to understand, or comprehend.
It pulled you apart.
Then the missing car keys
Was a punch to the heart
And you fell to your knees.
Death sat in the eyes.
With life paralyzed,
You failed to understand, or comprehend.
By Dr. Jan Musgrove
