Behavior should not ever be associated with foods, used for punishments. Etc.

[marionwilson]

NEVER SHOULD EDUCATION, FOOD, organized sports, , OR RELIGION etc. EVER BE USED FOR PUNISHMENTS.

From teens yes. Self medicating is self medicating. Is not recommended, for any duration of time. Many are very thin associated with nervous disorders affiliated with their environments.

Children of our generation and our parents were said to have aspirated codliver oil because of the taste.. Not good either.aspirating also leads to lung issues too.

this will make more criminals and or deceased. I agree with everything the doctor is saying, but we're talking about teenagers. They will get their hands on what they really want

[kelliewright]

First of all not every thing is about a diet pills, it's about self love and diet & exercise & understanding everyone should love them for who they are at any size or shape they are.
I agree with all & any prescription or over the drugs should be delt with a certain age of 21 at least in my own opinion to Stop over dosing at first hand. We stop under age overdosing and buying now we all can be in a better place about our selfs and family who needs medications the most..And we all can watch our children grows and have family s of there own. I'm a mom and I don't want my children to do or take anything other than a simple Tylenol if needed for fever. Any Drugs are all bad if not used properly and they supposed to be used for at hand. That's including diet pills!

Everything associated with being beautiful. Is also extremely dangerous for those thoughts to be beautiful thehare associated. Etc. Along with images of perfection at all times. Etc. Nor should there spoiling either. Reality is all but destroyed.

[marionwilson]

I am not the only person that knows these things. But adult stuff is adult stuff and they are worth it and 21 yrs goes by so fast. They will be praying for one of those Inconvenient days again. Any inconvenient moment to have home again. Etc. They are worth every or any inconvenience through the extremely short 21yrs and no parent is done then either. They need more attention on sometimes then, too. Others just go military. Get the military training etc that is not good these days during the war times etc. Lighten up is constant too. When the foundation is adaptable, then we can lighten up. Churches ruined alot pastors are people too. Areas have problems so the old hell fire and damnation Era. Not good. Etc. No one has to be destroyed. Walk like a robot 24/7. Be shamed or any of the bogusness that came out of that Era. Etc. It is not what it is about. It is also not flinging it constantly either in front of children but with the internet etc. Image anyone try to anything away from. The youth these days. Parents are being forced into explanations without the timing of age appropriate either. Our church went through a phase about lieing to the children about Santa. That was a very hard time. To adjust to, being disrupted, etc.we had to learn, to pray, etc. We learned best case scenarios. But again, being new in that area, in the Christianity, as parents, was very hard. I was very hard and my son away does not know that. Between friends being so important and his life, he &s no idea beyond the military getting me out of my element, it was OK for me, not for my children so to speak. There is no question what I support regardless if our nation is wrong or not. And it is on many occasions. In any regard forward. Not in my control. Not trying to risk any of ours. Etc. I want peace on earth for real, not just a pretty statement, for miss America to quote. Etc. Etc etc. In any regard, by the book as the foundation that saves is in place and after children are raised for safety etc. Which environments like to interfere, etc and so on. Nothing is our lives, our way etc since 2005. If it was I could implement. The right ways. For peop me etc. When I get blamed for everything wrong, it is not me I all of it. Too much too often are preconceived notions by what people think about Christianity. Etc. No one putting psychology sociology or human behavior without being out of control, on their thought processes and won't listen because of the preconceived notions. Their hearing is literally blocked by what they think what they want to think cannot handle extended learning, , a.d.d. a.d.h.d, p.t.s.d. etc. Literally cannot, learn so much at one time. Need alot less information at one sitting. Etc. Ok I will be back.
