The Next Generation of Confusion

It seems that as each generation passes our youth become more and more susceptible to the influence of the "anything goes" idea that society has adopted.  Sadly, its more prevalent today.

As a whole, adults seem to glaze over the problems our youth face until it is right at our doorstep, or interrupts our lives. We know this based off places like Columbine, or Sandy Hook Elementary school.  Although not all of the problems our modern-day youths deal with end in those type of catastrophic consequences, there are some, as innocent as they may seem in today's world, which may have drastic results.

Confusion has taken a giant leap into the minds of the next generation, and I personally don't want people who can't decide from one day to the next who they're going to be, making decisions that will affect my life. Just the other day, one of the students in my class recently decided she wanted to be British, and was able to read and assignment out to the class as if she had been born in Great Britain. Of course this confused the rest of the class, who were so distracted by her once American now turned English accent (and the fact that I had a hard time holding in laughter as a result), that they barely paid attention to what was being presented.

This same student just a couple of months back decided she no longer wanted to identify herself as just one gender, and wanted her teachers to stop calling her by her given name in exchange for one she had made up which sounded more male. After wearing a beanie to hide her long hair for a phase of time, she has since decided that she would be female again.

How do we stand by as parents and watch this happen?  We have even come so far as to encourage it, so that our children think its okay to "experiment" with who they want to be versus who they really are.  What is wrong with being who God made you?  He doesn't make mistakes; so why try to correct what's already been divinely designed?
