OUR COLUMNISTS
Low Self-esteem and Crimes of Youths

............
Parenting is more than merely bringing a child to adulthood. It must bring that child to a successful adulthood so that he/she is intellectually, spiritually, and financially equipped to see himself/herself in a positive light and to be able to withstand others' attempts to define him/her. Many psychologists argue that good self-esteem is crucial to a person's well being, and many realize that low self esteem plays an important role in criminal activity, especially criminal activities of youths.

  1. -INSPIRATION-

    Jesus again exposed the hypocritical attitudes of the religious leaders. They knew the Scriptures but did not live by them. They didn’t care about being holy – just looking holy in order to receive people’s admiration and praise. Today, like the Pharisees, many people say they know the Bible but do not let it change their lives. They say they follow Jesus, but they don’t live by his standards of love. We must make sure that our actions match our beliefs.

Poetry

-Dreams -

Buried deep inside
Climbing the walls for air
Feeling flames of fire
Ready to burst on the scene
Pressured weighed down
Afraid of what others may say
Afraid of what others may thing
Yet still I rise 
Blossoming and full of desire
Ministering to others
Bringing Darkness into the light
Mountain tops
No limits!
No Boundaries! ....
 Acquirneta D. McNair
