Our health is everybody’s concern and we need to educate young people of its importance now, and not wait until they have had the same bad habits for 30 years!

We often say those kinds of things to make the adult feel better about a very stressful situation. Yes, children are resilient, but resiliency doesn’t mean that they aren’t affected by the things that happen to and around them. Adults are often the ones advocating for and testifying about illnesses that affect a number of families every day. But how often do we hear what young people who are affected by these illnesses have to say? Sometimes we get so caught up in how WE feel about a tragic occurrence that we forget to recognize how children feel.

Since Rush Hours 2 and 3 communications between Carter and Lee have greatly improved. As these two characters talked, they got closer and gained a better understanding of one another. Now when you watch Rush Hour 3, you see a friendship that goes beyond the big screen.

Knowledge can then help us to develop beliefs. What we believe is based on what we accept in our minds to be true or real. However, faith is a form of believing without seeing proof. When it comes to religion, we are so quick to criticize what we do see and challenge what we don’t see. We will be discussing what we know, or think we know; what we believe, or think we believe; and gain a better understanding of what it means to have faith in this uncertain time.

Remember that question? There was a time when adults would ask every child in range that question. Why do you think they did that? Back then, adults knew the importance of having dreams and setting goals. Asking a child about their dreams and aspirations was a way to show support and involvement as well as a way to help the child stay focused on building a FUTURE. Today, young people’s dreams have been laughed at more times than they have been supported, by their peers and by adults. On today’s show, we will discuss THE DREAMs and show support for it. We hope that everyone is listening because we want to offer resources to young people who are looking to fulfill their dreams. Adults, we have to live by example.

Some summer romances have hit a dead end with the resurfacing of old acquaintances and the excitement of new relationships. Many teens have returned to school with the challenge of scoping the halls to find a new romance in order to forget about the summer heartbreak. So what does love really have to do with all of this? Are teens just enjoying life by getting involved with as many of their classmates as they can? Do teens really know enough about love to understand what it is? Do teens understand how to give and receive love? Does love mean that you have to lose your virginity? Are there any more virgins left in high school? What does non-sexual love look like? Do the teens' parents know about the relationships that their teens have? Is it love or just experiencing life?

Language, dress, and especially music seem to be a direct reflection of the generation that swings to it. This show's topic will deal with music as an identity and how identities influence music. Throughout time, the music that flowed in communities served as an outcry or an echo for the people of that era. There were classical, renaissance, big band, and rock and roll eras, just to name a few ... and now there is hip hop. What message does music send to the creators of it and its listeners? What message does hip hop send? Is it any different from previous eras? If music is just self expression, why is a person viewed as being "old fashioned" or "whack" or "out of touch with what's happening" when they are just expressing themselves? Can music influence or even create a lifestyle or are lifestyles put to music? Music is a universal language, so it speaks to everyone ….so, what do you have to say? 01:00:00Mira Sherill Balogunnomusic culture,teen talk,blog talk radio,hip hop,identityEvery new generation brings its own twist to our already diverse culture. Language, dress, and especially music seem to be a direct reflection of the generationhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/mira-sherill-balogun-/2010/08/23/teenage-humanity-but-whats-up-with-profanityCulturehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/mira-sherill-balogun-/2010/08/23/teenage-humanity-but-whats-up-with-profanity/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/mira-sherill-balogun-/2010/08/23/teenage-humanity-but-whats-up-with-profanityMon, 23 Aug 2010 22:00:00 GMTTeenage Humanity, But What's Up with ProfanityThis is the second live show and we will be focusing more on the language barriers that exist between adults and teens. There is a time and place for everything, but teens think that it is appropriate to use slang and the informal, local dialect to communicate in every setting. Are adults simply "hating" on the teens for creating a unique language and the adults feel left out? Are teens just creating a stigma for themselves and do not realize it? Why do teens get upset when adults try to compromise and use teen language to communicate? Do teens feel as though they compromise their identity when they use correct grammar? This show will also discuss the use of foul language. Teens use these words more than adults do at times. Do adults feel that teens have not earned the right to be stressed out enough to use these words? Or is it just a respect thing? Since teens are so creative at developing their own language, why haven't they come up with their own unique way to express anger or vent? Tune in and tell us what you think.01:00:00Mira Sherill Balogunnolanguage,teens and adults,talk show,radio,communicationThis is the second live show and we will be focusing more on the language barriers that exist between adults and teens.

This Radio FUTURE premier will serve as the catalyst to opening the dialogue between adults, teens, and their communities. "You Might Not Understand Me, Just Respect Me" deals with a lot of issues that arise on the surface between adults and teens. It is our desire to have each show dig a little deeper into the mental, spiritual, and emotional relationships between teens and adults. This show is designed to show adults and teens that how they think and feel is important. They have a voice and we are listening. 00:59:00Mira Sherill Balogunnoteen blog talk radio,teen issues with adults,adult issues with teens,teen community issues,teen problemsThe first episode of Radio FUTURE deals with the reasons that adults say that teens don't understand what it means to be an adult, and why teens believe that ad
