My, your up late tonight. Don't you miss the old days when Wally and Beaver's biggest problem was who ate the last piece of cake? Or Beave was caught running in the halls? Now they have to do body cavity searches on students just entering the front school door. Maybe it was always this bad and just covered up? Knives in school was a problem 30 years ago.. Are we over reacting? Over protective? I don't really know. Anyway, wonderful image Evie. And a wonderful thought. Hugs from Dave :^)

Your niece is young and so cute Evie! love the calm atmosphere here..what's going on? my opinion i think it's the both, the drugs and bad parents.That is our future! Bonne journ Hugs :)

I seen a political satire in the newspaper yesterday. it depicted some children cowering in fear and covering their head while a gunman comes busting in the door. one boy says that he heard back in the 50-60's children had to cover their heads also. I remember going into the hall way and sticking our butss up but covering our heads with our hands like it would make a difference in case of nuclear attack.seems very dumb now.love your Bryce

Things are in the open now the BAD side of technology has seen to that. Probably the most powerful generator of aggression in living beings is pain... Animals that have been tortured and children who have been severely and repeatedly abused often become extremely aggressive. Animals and humans being raised in the company of violent adults is associated with the development of aggressive behavior patterns. The media in part plays a role in enhancing the typical feeling of immortality among kids and adolescents. Kids grow up with a lack of understanding that life is transient. They get a steady diet of cartoons, movies, violent TV shows and Video Games where someone who's killed in one episode shows up in another. This to say the least is a very partial explanation. You care Evie if only all parents and grandparents cared and paid more attention to their children maybe just maybe the world would be a better place for them ! George http://www.renderbenders.com/

Well Evie I love this its so beautiful, and true if only she yell at the mountain top and they would listen how great that woul be, What a wonderful thought,I'll make sure she see this,

I wont go into the depths of all this hell going on with the children, but, I'm sure a lot has to do with parenting, environment, and the treatment of kids while they are young. It involves so much. I love this pic. She looks very pretty. Wish she could shout loud, and wake up some of these parents, before it's too late. Huggs...Silkylady...

Hy Friend its so nice of u and also touchy.

Real nice. ;)

Excellent image sis... Your niece is beautiful... I am like Dave I much perfer the Leave It to Beaver era:) But hey on Mayberry Ernest T broke out the windows with rocks... The only bad thing I remember on tv back then except for the westerns of course... There is so much violence on TV tv and also in real life... Teen are depressed..and are acting out on it in a bad way and maybe some parents don't have time or listen.. Either way I think it will get worse sadly instead of better.... Wish she could shout it for all to hear Great image and be ever so glad she is a good girl...way to go.. Great image Hugs Susan~

you right on the mark. this is cool looking

Evie, this is beautiful and the sentiment to go with it. It's not easy being a child of this new age, much harder as a parent. But with love, compassion and folks like you our children will have a brighter tomorrow, for this is what I hope for all children. Beautiful image, beautiful niece. Delicate and aethereal.
