*A* *SPECIAL* *PLEA* *TO* *PARENTS*
*I shut my office door and wept. I couldn’t hold back the tears especially after stepping into the female hostel, now overcrowded*.
*Every single girl under our care this session is under 25 years old. Some are just 12. And here’s what breaks my heart even more-none of these girls were rescued from the streets*.
*Every one of them was brought in by their own parents. While checking in bags at both the girls’ and boys’ hostels, we found paraphernalia - evidence of addiction, rebellion, deep-rooted pain…*
*This is not just a problem. This is a pandemic*.
*Let’s stop pretending. Let’s stop covering our eyes*.
*Things are NOT right with our Youths*.
*Today, I read about a young man expelled from Babcock University - a teenager with a ₦100,000 ritual soap from a herbalist.*
*He borrowed ₦500,000. He became a drug peddler.*
*Not from a poor home. Not a street child. But a well-groomed boy from a comfortable background. Wetin him dey find? KILO NWA KIRI !!!*
*What is going on with our YOUTHS? Why this desperation for quick wealth*?
*What has happened to HARD WORK, INTEGRITY, and DIGNITY*?
*Last week, we struggled to find a tiler for one of our projects. We had to bring in one from Togo. Why*?
*Because our own YOUTH do not want to learn any skill*.
*They don’t want SCHOOL.*
* *They want “HOOKUP*”
* *They want “YAHOO*.”
* *They want to do nothing but SCROLL, LIE,i PARTY and they want MONEY FAST*.
*And let’s be real. You cannot do Yahoo or Hookup without drugs or Alcohol. They go hand in hand*.
*My heart is heavy. Are we just going to fold our hands and watch this generation waste away*?
*PARENTS! Wake up*!
*Where are you*?
*Why the silence*?
*Why the complacency*?
*Why are some of us condoning and funding this destructive lifestyle*?
*Your child doesn’t need a new Phone - they need PURPOSE*.
*They don’t need more Data - they need DISCIPLINE*.
*They don’t need “FREEDOM” - they need BOUNDARIES*.
*We cannot keep blaming SOCIETIES, FRIENDS, INFLUENCERS. It starts from the HOME*.
*Please, let’s start talking again*.
*Let’s check their bags*.
*Let’s check their hearts*.
*Let’s check ourselves*.
*To every Parent reading this please be present*.
*Your child doesn’t just need your MONEY; they need your TIME and VOICE*.
*Ask questions. Don’t be afraid to dig deeper, even if it’s uncomfortable*.
*Teach values. Wealth is GOOD, but WISDOM, CHARACTER, and CONTENTMENT are better*.
*Be their safe space. If you don’t listen, the world will and it will feed them lies*.
*Let’s rise up and fight for the souls of our children. We may not be able to save all, but we must not give up on the ones we can reach*
*They are not just the future - they are our now*.
_*Let’s not lose them...*_
*WHEN PARENTS FAIL – HOW LACK OF DISCIPLINE IS CREATING A GENERATION OF LOST Sarise
There was a time when parents raised warriors. Now, they raise weaklings.
A time when children feared their fathers’ discipline. Now, children insult their fathers online.
A time when a slap from your mother could reset your entire future. Now, mothers watch their children twerk for clout.
The world changed — not because evil became more powerful, but because parents became weaker.
Children no longer have boundaries. No fear. No respect. No discipline.
And the result?
A generation that mocks God, worships vanity, and embraces sin with pride.
*BRUTAL THREAD:*
1. *CHILDREN WITHOUT DISCIPLINE BECOME ADULTS WITHOUT SELF-CONTROL*
A child who never hears “NO” at home will hear “NO” from life when it’s too late.
The boy who was never told to control his desires will become a man addicted to s*x, gambling, and laziness.
The girl who was never told to respect herself would become a woman who exposes her body for money and attention.
The child who was never corrected for lying will become an adult who deceives, manipulates, and steals.
If parents don’t discipline their children, the world will punish them later.
2. *THE FALL OF FAMILY VALUES IS THE RISE OF MORAL DECAY*
What happened to parenting?
Mothers used to teach daughters how to be women of dignity. Now, they encourage them to _“secure the bag”_ by any means.
Fathers used to teach sons how to be responsible men. Now, they are absent — either too weak, too distracted, or too scared to lead.
So children are now learning from TikTok instead of home, and the internet is raising a generation with no fear of God and no sense of direction.
3. *PARENTS WHO SPOIL THEIR CHILDREN ARE DESTROYING THEM*
Giving your child everything they want is the fastest way to ruin them.
A child who never worked for anything will grow up lazy and entitled.
A child who was never disciplined will grow up thinking life has no consequences.
A child who was never corrected will grow up believing they can do anything and get away with it.
Now, we have a world full of adults who can’t handle rejection, can’t handle failure, and can’t handle life.
4. *WHEN PARENTS CHOOSE FRIENDSHIP OVER LEADERSHIP, CHAOS FOLLOWS*
Many parents today want to be their child’s friend instead of their leader.
So instead of saying:
❌ _"This behaviour is wrong!"_ They say, _"She’s just expressing herself."_
❌ _"You must work for what you want!"¢ They say, ¢"Let me buy it for you."_
❌ _"This is not acceptable!"_ They say, _"I don't want to hurt their feelings."_
And just like that, we have a generation of weak people who cry over small problems and break down when life gets tough.
5. *THE NEW GENERATION LOVES PLEASURE BUT HATES RESPONSIBILITY*
Discipline used to be normal.
Now, a child calls it _"abuse"_ when a parent corrects them.
Now, teachers can’t discipline students because _"it’s too harsh."_
Now, young people demand freedom but reject accountability.
Everyone wants to enjoy, but no one wants to work.
And this is why:
The streets are full of lazy men chasing quick money.
Social media is full of young girls selling their bodies for attention.
Homes are full of broken families because nobody was raised to be a good partner or parent.
6. *WHEN CHILDREN LOSE DISCIPLINE, THEY LOSE THEIR FUTURE.*
Many young men today are addicted to ma********on, po*******hy, and cheap pleasure — because nobody taught them self-control.
Many young women today expose their bodies for social media likes — because nobody taught them self-respect.
Many young people today are broke, weak, and mentally unstable — because nobody taught them how to survive hardship.
The devil is not the problem. The parents failed.
7. *IF WE DON’T FIX PARENTING, THE WORLD WILL GET WORSE.*
If we continue like this, the next generation will:
⚠️ Have no morals.
⚠️ Have no work ethic.
⚠️ Have no fear of God.
Society will collapse — not because of demons, but because of poor parenting.
*BOTTOM LINE:*
If you are a parent, discipline your children.
If you are young, discipline yourself.
Because the world will not be kind to those who were raised without discipline.
*Let’s raise warriors, not weaklings.*
*Pls forward this to family and friends, especially to those with young and teenage children*
May God Almighty help us all. Amen.
