Eye Opener

My internship as a behavior intervention specialist has been a real eye opener. I have witnessed first hand what the crack epidemic and rebirth of heroine use has birthed in our community, the after effects are drastic. I often sat around scholars wondering how could children be so cruel to shoot up a whole crowd and gave remedies that sounded great in theory. However, to be able to work with kids who are considered the rejects of society, who have suffered great trauma, and who are immune to violence I learned that they have become desensitized. On top of many being in a dysfunctional home, most are daily under the influence of drugs like marijuana or mollies which is a purer form of ecstasy a hallucinogenic which allows them to escape the horror of their reality. My heart aches for this generation and I know the answer to this problem is more complicated than a new law or a fancy theory. We have a generation who truly need healing and the love which can heal must come from everyone in our community.
