AuburnChick's Adventures

First of all, I want to apologize if yesterday’s post sounded harsh and judgmental.  I did not mean to come across that way.  I was frustrated and angry about being lied to.

I thought I would share an update from the “must-see” concert.

My local news reported that around 10,000 people attended the concert.  I would venture to bet that nearly 1/10 of the crowd was comprised of the students from my high school.

It’s inevitable that something is going to go awry when you cram this many people together.

And it certainly did.

One concert-goer was stabbed in the back by a broken beer bottle.  The young man very nearly had one of his lungs punctured.

There were at least 20 other incidents that occurred as well.

Some of the students who came to school today recalled horror stories.  They told us that they were frightened by some of the things going on yesterday.

Good for them.  Perhaps it’s a lesson they won’t forget any time soon.

I saw one young lady who attends the youth group at my church in the office today.  She was my assistant when I taught summer preschool a few years ago.  Her dad had taken her and a younger sister to the beach to attend the concert.

I asked her if she had ever read the lyrics from Lil Wayne’s songs.

“I’ve listened to his songs,” she flippantly stated.

I raised my eyebrows in surprise.

I gently reminded her that we need to guard our ears and eyes from these kinds of influences.  She agreed in the way that teenagers do…just to be polite and get me to stop talking.

I hope I planted seeds that will blossom as she matures.

Time will tell.
