One of the main practices that keeps Black people at the lower end of the totem pole; is our black youth finding difficulty in differentiating between  right from wrong. How could our children possibly know, if we as parents, are not only influencing them on, "how to " but also engage in activities with our child(ren) - that  we're supposed to protect them from doing.

Then we become frustrated when today's youth are found disrespecting adult authority- all because they have been raised to think  that being an adult is, " a joke."

What our children, need is guidance that includes sound morals and consequences for negative behavior. They need love, stability, and a sense of stern judgement from their parents. Children come out in the long run feeling more loved by parents (mother & father) that set up boundary points and showed positive examples while growing up.

Although as a child ages they should be able to utilize a "open door" policy with their parents. A parent should wait till after adulthood to be their child's friend.
