Being a mentor is a tough job. Its not something cut out for everyone but at some point in of our lives we all have stepped up to do a tough job or two or three. One of the hardest parts of being a mentor is hearing and feeling the cries of a single mom. Having to comfort a single mother who feels lost because she feels she did all she could with her son and thinks she has failed is something I wish on no one. I wish I never had to experience this. I know a lot of good men. Im asking all the good men I know and dont know to be part of the solution. If you see a young man or boy doing something or speaking inappropriately intervene. Silence or acting blind is the worst thing you could do. A lot of boys and young men see doing right as a struggle if they have not seen their fathers do right. Just because this young man or boy is not your child does not mean you stay quiet. Too many of our boys get into mischief at a very young age because they never grow up with discipline. This can lead them to becoming disinterested in school and wanting to live life recklessly. Not intervening can impact you, your wife, girlfriend, son, daughter, mother, father, grandmother, sister, brother or good friends in the future. Intervene men. Intervene! Our communities will be better, stronger and safer if you do so now while they are young. Their is nothing to fear. If you are not sure of what to say ask God or whatever good spirits you believe in for the words. Our youth need more from us. The mothers need our help. The grandmothers need our help. Time to step up before a depleted mom and the education system gives up on them and then either a gang, street life or the cops take him away. Get involved. Lets make our communities better.
