The Youth on Love and Chastity: Love for Family

You might know the feeling of getting into trouble and feeling all alone and no one is going to bail you out. But then as you start losing hope, someone eventually does, and you know who that person is? It could be your mom, your dad, your older brother or anyone else for that matter but who they really are is your family. They are the ones who will never ever leave you no matter what you do, no matter how bad you are. They will always be there for you through thick or thin. As young men and women we tend to rebel against our parents without putting things to consideration. We think that our parents are our enemies and that they are trying to control our every move according to what they want. This is where we are very wrong. No parent wants their kids not to love them. All they want is the best for them. It may be hard at times to restrict them from what they want to do, but if it is for the best it is what they should do. As young adults we need to see this. See what our family as a support group. They are not like any of our “barkadas” who might leave us when we are faced with problems. We should not take them for granted is all I’m saying. Storge love is love for family. It is the love that binds us together in blood and responsibility. But more than that it is a bind more than any friendship we can form. I say all this to you troubled youth out there. Don’t hate your parents; don’t rebel against them for any apparent reason. Look through their eyes and see why they are doing the things you hate. You might not feel that they are good for you, but then in time they might be. It may be hard for us to realize and it may be hard to swallow at times. But in the end lets all face it, family is all we got.
