Reemerging

I am hoping that now that I have resurrected this blog, the Smelmooo will take me off of his "I think they died" list. I've been getting closer and closer to posting again, but my disdain for parents these days has really made me need to vent about a few things.

In order to get to my office, I have to walk through the freshman gym. Since I sign in at the same time every day, I usually walk through when there is a particular class in there. There is a 14 year old boy in there who is obese. Every day I walk through, I want to cry because I feel so horribly for him. People blame obese individuals, however, there are always reason for how people become the way they do. My point here is not to get into a discussion regarding obese adults. When it comes to a child though, I blame the parents. There is absolutely NO REASON why a 14 year old boy should weigh as much as he does. It is the parents' responsibility to instill in their children healthy living, good food choices, and activity. In an age where indoor activities have become much more prevalent than the days where you weren't allowed inside until it got dark, kids are becoming heavier and heavier.

I find it sad, infuriating, and irresponsible.
