lol one love.. surprised you huh?
i bet you have some mental image of me being like a school teacher hitting a cane in her palms lmao.. if so, you're nearly right.. i'm a youth worker! you have to remember tho, half my boys are much younger than you, only 5, 7 and 12....if you include my stepsons too, i have 6 boys. tho the older 3 dont live at home, my 14 year old stepson is with his mum, and my 19 year old stepson and my 20 year old son both live alone now.. but in my home, same rules apply. my husband agrees and supports the way i raise them. i think if more parents allowed their kids to BE kids,to play with toys that dont involve staring at a screen for hours, to run and play and pretend, and taught them manners and respect, and the value of money, like i was taught, there would be less trouble on our streets. too much freedom is counter productive.. our kids need some boundaries to keep them safe, physically and emotionally. when you allow your kids to become adults too soon, you ruin them. (and as i type this, they are all trying to play- bite each other like dogs, and i am screaming at them to stop lol)
gotta disagree an the muslim thing.. i know many muslims who are good honest loving hardworking people.. my brother in law was muslim before he died, and you never met a kinder more loving father brother and uncle. i do understand what youre saying about kids.. but a lot of kids are like that now, regardless of what religion they are raised in..its the whole culture of disraspect thats infected our youth,and the lack of parental care they are given that causes it. it seems its a natural thing for kids to form groups and antagonise each other.
most muslims dont teach their kids to hate other races.. they teach them not to immerse themselves in western society, or as we call it, Babylon. rasta's teach their kids the same thing...if you hate greed, immorality and the godlessness that most people feel, then you want to teach your kids not to follow that path. and it seems like its more north africans youre having a problem with.. but you gotta remember that when you come from wartorn countries, your perspective is gonna be a lot different.. the culture is a world away from ours, and also i think coming into a country that doesnt want you is going to fuel resentment and make you hate the people who treat you like you are less than them.. its always going to be a difficult one, until both sides learn to tolerate each other. when a new community arrives its always hard on everyone...for the people who have to accomodate them, and for the people who have had no choice but to leave their homeland. most refugees are not PERMITTED to work by law, so have to live off the state... but the state and the media don't make that common knowledge cos they WANT you to hate them. and the reason they have many children is because contraception is considered sinful, just like in the catholic church. try not to hold hatred, it wont do you any good, just poison your life.. and sometimes try to imagine how you would feel if that happened to you and were treated with anger and suspicion everywhere you went. its not right to react like that but for some people, attack becomes a form of defence.. if you show weakness, you get trodden on. its a fact of life. it's wrong.. but unfortunately thats how it is.
i bought that dreadworks shampoo, i thought it was very expensive, and it didnt help tighten my hair any quicker. now i use a teatree and neem shampoo.. kills any lice, and controls dandruff, but its quite drying so it helps tighten the dread. i find washing my hair more often and using a non conditioning shampoo encourages the loose bits to dread.. if you run your thumb and fingers up and down them that helps too.. and if you get a spray bottle and mix some lime juice and sea salt with some pure water and spray your dread, keeping it off the scalp a couple of times a week, that'll help dread it too.. and will encourage the sun to brighten it.. thats what the ancient celts used on their european hair.
