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-

    “He looked around at them angrily and was deeply saddened by their hard hearts. Then he said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” So the man held out his hand, and it was restored!” (Mark 3:5 NLT) Anger itself is not wrong. It depends on what makes us angry and what we do with our anger. Too often we express our anger in selfish ways. By contrast, Jesus expressed his anger by correcting a problem – healing a man’s hand. Use your anger to find constructive solutions rather than to tear people down.

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
