WHAT MAKES A CHILD Or Young Adult VIOLENT?
Most of the mainstream educators and others
who have hands in raising children seem to think that Violence begets
Violence. They have tried to obliterate
anything they think has a violent tendency.
You can see this on social media, in writing sites, on search engine and
even in the school system. Parents have
listened to the media and have come to think that they all tell the truth but
they do not. Violence does not beget
violence else everyone on the planet would be violent. Learning about bodily functions and using the
correct words or even talking about such things has become taboo. Parents are told they will beget what we
don’t want in our children and in society. It does not.
Your child is a growing adult. A child has many learning process they
will go through to be a functioning adult in society and it starts in the
womb.
The media has brought about many changes in
the way that we have raised our children.
It is true that there is more violence shown on the TV, in the
newspapers and periodicals. This in turn
has desensitized many. Parents now think that this brings about more violent
tendencies in their children. Some use it as a way to teach self-defense. That’s a big one for you. If there were no violence then there would be
no need to be violent back. Self-Defense
is used as an excuse to be violent against another. All those video’s with violent play and
killing, they are all murdering and it’s all under the guise of self-defense. Is the answer, just don’t let them see or
hear it and they won’t do it? Those
kinds of thoughts have been with us for a very long time and many see these
things on a daily basis in some form or another and it doesn’t make them
violent. I don’t think this is the
answer.

Many questions have been brought up about
these youth, their upbringing and their mental health. Many bewildered adults and children have
asked questions like: Why are our children doing this. Is the cause our water
or in the food that we consume, or is it deeper than that?
These questions I will try to answer in the
article.
Is it
violence on TV or other Electronic Devises?
It
has been proven that some electric waves produce bad effects on adults. Electronics is fairly new in our society and
we are just learning some things about all the various electronics or waves
that affect us. Since the invention of
the TV we have set our youth down in front of it. We have treated it like a Babysitter as some
device that will keep our children happy for hours while the parents are doing
something else. All those waves
bombarding the children do cause ill effects.
Many parents and the toy industry disbelieve that these do affect the
children. All one has to do is look at
the number of children as early as the age of 12 who go haywire later in their teens or young
adulthood to see the correlation.
Research has proven that these children get
addicted to the video games and anything having to do with the Internet. What causes it? It is the rewards/punishment process they get
from playing the game. It’s the high
and escape from their reality they get from using or as parent’s do when they
give them candy as a reward. We are
training them to do these things.
We can see the addictive affects when we try
to take their games away from them or the Internet and cell phones, yes cell
phones too. The proper term is “Screen
Addictive Children”.
The meaning of
addiction is:
• Inability
to avoid that which you are addicted to
• A
lack of control over your behavior
• Uncontrolled
need for the thing that you are addicted too, most likely the rewarding
experience computer or video games gives.
• Problematic
relationship skills and behavior towards others.
• Emotions
become erratic
When parents took away the game or Internet
the children did exhibit signs of addiction in that they were depression,
unable to deal with stress in their lives at school and at home, elevated
anger and aggression, mood swings, thought processes don’t correlate to their
situation, they become more violent.
Violence Begets Violence?
The current mode of thought for mainstream educators and
others who have a hand in raising children believe that violence creates
violence. You are able to see this in
social media, on the writing sites, and in the school system as they try to
obliterate anything and everything that they even consider has a violent
tendency. Parents listen to the media
tell them that they too need to do so lest we create a violent child and they
come to believe that the media tells the complete truth; they don’t. Violence doe not automatically beget violence
else everyone on the planet would be violent.
The media has brought about many changes in the way we have
raised our children. It is true that
there is ever more and more violence shown on TV, in movies, in the newspapers,
and other periodicals. This in turn has
desensitized many. Many parents now
believe that this brings about the need to teach self-defense. Self-Defense is nothing more than an excuse to
be violent in return. But, if there was
no violence then there would be no need to be violent back.
A child goes through many leaning processed along he way to
becoming a functioning adult in society, and those processes begin in the
womb. Learning about bodily functions,
using the correct vocabulary, or even discussing violence with a child has
become taboo. Is the answer to the
epidemic of violent children, just don’t let them see of hear about violence
and they won’t do it? This mode of
thought has been with us for quite a while now and many children see these
things on a daily basis in one form or another yet it doesn’t make them
violent. Obviously this is not the
answer. Read about what science has proven about the age of when criminal activity starts: Life of Crime starts at a very young age
Could
it be food or water?
There
are many studies conducted on this very thing.
Remember the Salem Witch Trials?
They found that there was a fungus Claviceps purpurea on the grain they
were eating. The common name is
Ergot. This Ergot starts out like a
spore and then takes over the fertilization of the plant itself. It can lower the harvest rate of the crops. The end product of this spore is like a tiny
mushroom, making it difficult to notice. It is also difficult to eradicate in
the growing area as it stays dormant until conditions are just right for it to
reproduce. Frigid cold winters and wet
Springs are some of the conditions it likes to grow in. It was first reported
in 1676. Humans and animals and even
insects can get the disease called Ergotism, or as the Monks who treated the
disease, Saint Anthony’s Fire. It was
named that because it also caused severe burning sensations in the extremities
of the body.
Symptoms of Ergotism
include:
·
Hallucinations,
irrational behavior and also death.
·
Powerful
contractions in the uterus, sick feeling in the stomach, convulsions and loss
of consciousness. Physician’s in the Middle Ages use this as a way to induce
labor, to cause a woman to abort her child and also to stop bleeding post-delivery.
·
Ergot
alkaloids and caffeine were also used to treat migraine headaches. Ergot
extract isn’t used anymore by the pharmaceutical industry.
Rye is Ergot’s favorite plant to infest but
others include Wheat and Barley. Not
only are we finding out that many people have problems with gluten that is a
product of wheat and corn, but that wheat and other cereal grains also can have
this disease as well. For more
information about this go to: “The Witches Curse” a program on
PBS.ORG
Other foods that cause tantrums in children include:
- Salicylates in fruit, mint, tomato flavored foods and also in fruits and some vegetables
- Preservatives
- Artificial color
- MSG,
- synthetic antioxidants i.e. E320
- Dairy foods.
- Sugar
Could
it be in the drugs that we take or the vaccines?
There
is lots of information on this on the Internet.
We have recently in the past decade realized that some chemicals that
are put in our vaccine that are to prevent diseases are the cause of some
conditions we didn’t think would happen.
The most prevalent debate is the insurgence of Autism from the vaccine
in which we give to our children to prevent Chicken Pox. It is Mercury that is the *preservative* that
is present in the vaccine.
Other drugs that cause aggressive tendencies in our
children are:
Alcohol: Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is caused by mom’s that drank alcohol
when they were pregnant. Complications
presented in the infant after birth is a problem with behavior, among other
things which do not pertain to this article.
Heavy alcohol use lends itself to higher incidents of aggression in
children and adults.
Anabolic Steroids, Anabolic steroids are drugs are used to build up
muscle mass faster than you can with just exercising. It has been documented
that some that take these steroids get into fights, they do aggressive crimes
i.e. burglary and or armed robbery. They act in ways that they typically would
not act had they not taken the drug.
Depressant/Downers such as Valium or Diazapam.
Cocaine
With all the hype about body image it is easy to
see why some children get and use these drugs.

What are we teaching our children? What are they seeing in us that we don’t see
in us? It is up to you to raise your
child and from the minute it is born. I
hope that I have answered some of the questions you seek answers to. Just what makes our children do violent
things?
