OBVIOUSLY...

...my "message" isn't the desirable one.....yet, THERE IS a "message" that the youth-of-America is recieving......and it is coming from ALL OF US, (not just from each set of parents to their own children.)

So, I, (and I am sure many others here) would like to hear from you or others as to what that "message" actually is.


One can only assume that your previous advice is the one that you would call the "national message"......

......and it is one that I not only see being rejected, but YES, it is one that I would assume a free people would want to see being rejected...

.....and that my "re-stating" of it has validity.

However, what is important here is for an open discussion of OUR message to our children to be undertaken, and I readily concede that my ideas are open to change, and that I would appreciate other points-of-view.....

....(the starting point was:
WHAT DO WE TELL OUR CHILDREN WHEN THEY SAY...."THERE ARE NO JOBS OUT THERE")

"One can only assume that your previous advice is the one that you would call the "national message".

Perhaps I misunderstood the original question. It seemed to me that it was a question from a parent who wanted her child to go to college, but he didn't want to. It sounded as though she was asking how to put pressure on him to make him go to college.

If that was not the case, never mind. LOL
