Description

When we all lived in tribes or villages the youngest members were nurtured and then shown the ways that were needed for them to survive and later support the tribe. They learnt from the elders who passed on their knowledge and tribal experiences which they could implement when they were of an age that the tribe accepted. The initiation ceremonies were the acknowledgements of their reaching an age in which they then became an adult member and ready to support the tribe with the training they had been given and had also observed. Today our societies have changed this scenario for our young.Many are nurtured outside of the family and many are informed that they can be whatever they want to be and many are rewarded with medals for just being there.They are then left at a semi-adult age to work out for themselves their role in the big world tribe and unfortunately they don’t all make it.It is probably time for the adults to take back the reins but… is it too late?Do they even want to when all they have to do today is use a bandaid?
