COMMITTED everyday conversations. It is no longer easy to stay unaware of politics, criminal activities, or adult responsibilities when they appear on our screens daily. This early exposure can make us more informed and mature, but it can also feel overwhelming, creating stress before kids are ready for it. It can even make children insecure at a very young age. Screens and ads constantly show us what we need to look pretty, and filters give people unrealistic bodies, which can make 7-year-olds feel like they need to wear makeup or dress revealingly just so society sees and accepts them as older, mature people because they feel ashamed of being a young, innocent child. Childhood no longer fades slowly; it sometimes feels like it is pushed aside by the speed of the modern world.

It is up to you to choose to become a better person and live a life that matters because every man’ s life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.
