			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes I hear the <strong>kids</strong> <strong>arguing</strong> and one of them will use a word or phrase that is not a normal part of their vocabulary. For example, not many 17 year-old boys would say this, &#8220;You are the most <em>deceitful</em> person that I have ever met.&#8221; Instead they would say something like this, &#8220;You are a <em>liar</em>.&#8221;</p>

<p>Sometimes people get jealous. They worry that someone is slipping away, that they are losing their influence. They worry that they might be losing the love or complete attention of another person and when this happens, they turn to coercion. They hit on a person&#8217;s frailties, on his or her fears until they chip away a chunk of their confidence. I&#8217;m talking their <strong>self-confidence</strong> as well as the confidence that they may have in their <strong>relationship</strong>. I find this sort of selfish and destructive behavior disgusting.</p>
<p>When I heard the &#8220;<em>deceitful</em>&#8221; statement, it was clearly a case of an individual parroting another persons bad intentions. These teenagers are still figuring things out. They need a supportive environment to do that. They don&#8217;t need outside sources filling their heads with doubts. How are they supposed to develop healthy relationships if their biggest influences are not healthy to start with? If things do not work out between them, they will still take the lessons that they learned during this relationship with them. They will suspect the next person is <em>deceitful</em> or <em>jealous</em> or whatever term they throw at each other.</p>
<p>Sorry to be a bit on the cryptic side, but we just had a scene here that was ridiculous and totally without merit. I do not appreciate people messing with the kids. Teenagers are not property to control. They are young adults who will soon be on their own, especially when they are 17 and almost 18. They deserve the best guidance we have to give. </p>
