Parents Keep It 100 In Son's Obituary

[Amerikan Melanin]

Parents are always responsible. If your kid is skipping school and terrorizing people in a gang that's on you as a failure as a parent. Nobody has a bigger impact on a child's development. They likely got involved too late. Elementary school age are the most important formative years cause that sets the tone and good/bad habits kids follow for the rest of their life. A lot of parents cruise through this stage.. let their kids watch tv all day and play video games instead of emphasizig reading, writing, and math the importance of school. its really hard to change a kid in middle school and high school age. The habits are already formed but this is where a lot of folks try to start parenting cause that when kids start to get real punishment at school and held accountable but it's too late by then.

This is such a poor way of thinking. You are basically saying all children are exactly the same and can be molded into whatever direction the parent chooses. No such thing as outside influences, different brain and chemical makeup’s.

your way of thinking would rob the world of some of the greatest creatives the world has known. Also there wouldn’t be any black revolutionaries.

Exactly

They basically turned an obituary into a PSA. The way its written, it doesn't feel like its coming from an honest place.

Of course these clowns are Christians. Typical. It's crazy how people automatically side with the parents and assume they did the best they could just off of a narrative they created. I'm definitely not automatically believing people that would throw their own child under the bus in an obituary.

They can feel how they want about their own child but there's no need to put this out there for the public to see. Sounds like they're more concerned with how people will judge them and covering their own tracks more than anything.

What’s wrong with what they did? They stated to donate to at risk youth programs at the end.

Look at mike tyson. One of the greatest stories ever. Terrible upbringing, was in and out of juvie. Become champ life falls apart he gets into drugs and ends up changing his life on the back end. Would he have become champ if he was raised by both parents in a loving household? Probably not. Some people need or choose to go thru the fire.

Look at all the pressure out on Japanese children to succeed to the point they commit suicide. I guess there should be no crime or low paying workers in Japan since their parents are so involved with their lives.

look at Nigerians who value education over everything. I guess no Nigerians should be involved in Scamming, crime and terrorism. The parents must have done a poor job.

All kids are different, people have free will and make their own beds. Some will accept correction from authority and some will detest authority.

Parents made sure to shift the blame off them

Brehs you can battle this on multiple sides

Of course the onus on lies on the boy but all that tough love shyt doesn't not help steer the kid in the right direction if he isn't predisposed to following a tough lovers tough guidance

Some times tough love is all that’s left for a parent. Kiss gong by what they wrote they did everything they could to try to steer him in the correct direction.

You wouldn’t enable a relative or friends drug problem would you? A lot of times it takes tough love for people to come back to their senses. Some have to fall on hard times themselves to realize they weren’t on the right path.

Obviously the kid was a knucklehead & didn’t wanna listen to anyone. It’s sad he had to lose his life but ultimately it was his own choice as a young man

How can you not respect it?

Would u rather them lie to others and themselves?

How can you get closure when your telling / writing a lie to yourself ?

Dude had people who cared about him enough to try to steer him away from such bad influences, some parents will point the finger with one hand but also accept money from their street son with the other....


His parents can sleep easy from them just accepting their son got "derailed "from the life they tried to give him

An obituary is really just a death announcement - they wrote this like Lupe Fiasco's The Cool.

I don't think people running the streets read obituaries regularly - only people bound to see this are other family members and old people that scour the section.

I'd have run the streets after watching the false veil of law and order fall with Katrina too

 

[lightskin jermaine]

He wasn't ready for that street life. Breh went from hugging puppies to hugging the block and thought shyt was sweet.

 

[Xyrax]

This was grandstanding and nothing more. If dude turned out to be a success story they wouldn't be talking about personal responsibility and he made his own choices. They would be taking all tha credit in tha world for raising him right. That shyt goes both ways.

Then that would make them hypocrites, but we don't know. The point flew over your head nikka. You don't know shyt about these people nor their son. And nothing you said even challenges the facts I laid out.

Respect it and understand. Took me being a parent to understand that you can do everything to set your kids right, but ultimately though they are their own person, and once they leave the house as adults if they repeatedly stray from the path you put them on, what can you do? My son is truly his own person, I learn that more and more, I can guide and instill values into him, and put in him in favorable situations, and I can support him in every area where he needs it, but he is going to make his own decisions in the end.

Preach. But these internet nikkas man...... Think they know everything. The lack of experience really shows when they try and speak on shyt like this, because they are so fukking offbase that its ridiculous.

 

[Gold]

I don't respect that.

Things like that stand out as red flags to me. When a kid is messed up, the first thing I will do is look at the parents so it doesn't sit right when their port of call is to demonstrate that they did their job when dealing with the demise of their son.

I'm left with the impression that their image is and was always more important than what their son was going through.

Nah this doesnt read like that at all

This reads like parents who have tried EVERYTHING in their power and their son, who was a fully grown man, still went about his own way.

Parents influence but at the end of the day they do not control you. These parents sound like they have spent many hours on their knees praying for a son who ultimately chose a fast life and a quick death.

You wrong breh im sorry
