Transcript:

Welcome once again to "FEELINGS" with your host: Dr. Warren Fuzzy Today's Topic: "OUR MISUNDERSTOOD YOUNG PEOPLE" Warren: Hello again, explorers of the inner self! Have you noticed that recently, society seems to blame everything on our CHILDREN? Here's NATE WRIGHT, a perfect example of a misunderstood young person! Let's take a look at his life! Nate's a genius, but do his teachers recognize it? NO! Their narrow definition of academic achievement has no room for Nate's more creative approach! Speaking of creativity, Nate's an exceptional artist! But people focus only on the SURFACE! They don't realize how truly DEEP Nate is! Yes, we're always hearing that our young people are getting dumber, sloppier, and ruder! How EASY it is to point fingers! But instead, we should look in the mirror! The responsibility for our children's problems shouldn't rest on THEIR shoulders! Let's place the blame where it REALLY belongs: with their parents! Dad: A "D" in social studies? Nate: Yup. Shame on you.
