Charlie Bartlett

The epitome of what it is that we have done to our kids. The movie that I recommend to all adults and all youth. Why you may ask? Because it defines the experience of what so many kids are experiencing and the insanity that they are confronted with. Dramatic maybe...somewhat real... you bet!

We wonder why youth today are so rebellious, reactionary and are demanding reform. A bunch of rowdies who are here to wake us up to the insanity of the world. This movie is the perfect example of how the adults are attempting to tell the youth how to be in this world and the way the adults are dealing with what they witness as insubordinate behavior is by putting more rules and restrictions on them.

The movie highlights the brilliant intelligence of one young man, Charlie Bartlett, who has found out the secret to solving all of our problems, listening.

And in case you didn't hear it the first time allow me to repeat myself. LISTENING! Our children and our youth are screaming at us and no one is listening. A fact in the matter is the increase of prescription drugs that are being pushed on our children and our youth. Labels such as ADD and ADHD are plagued in schools around the country.

The reality is that these kids learn a different way and they are a heck of allot smarter than the lot of humanity and they are the ones who are going to bring solutions to our global problems if and when we create a safe space for them to do so.

Ask yourself this? When you were a kid did such labels exist? Were you prescribed medication to keep you numb, dumb and manageable. I think not. So why the heck would you want to medicate your children. WAKE UP PEOPLE!

The insanity in what we are doing to our children and youths infuriates me to the enth degree. Please parents read about the Indigo children, educate yourselves as to the genius that exists within the kids and please, please, please listen to them.

Our future lies in the hands of our youth as they are the ones who see what is so incredibly wrong on the planet, and some of them are just reacting to the insanity that they experience everyday. Others so desperately want to share, be heard and express themselves creatively and we as adults are the ones who are holding them back from their full potential.

If this was my last bog ever written, and I've only just started to rant, however if it was my last blog, I would beg and plead with adults to let the children be children, allow the youth to be themselves and do whatever it takes to create a safe place for these Indigos to express their unique ideas, thoughts and solutions.

Mark my words that I am personally committing to assisting these kids in any way, shape or form that I am able to. Whatever it takes these kids need to be heard, seen and acknowledged. Parents, teachers and educators please wake up and learn about your kids. Love them, listen to them and be there for them. Because they are on a mission and it may just save the world.
