Children Learn What They Live...by Dorothy Law Nolte

Children Learn What They Live
By Dorothy Law Nolte

          If children live with criticism,
               They learn to condemn.
          If children live with hostility,
               They learn to fight.
          If children live with ridicule,
               They learn to be shy.
          If children live with shame,
               They learn to feel guilty.
          If children live with encouragement,
               They learn confidence.
          If children live with tolerance,
               They learn to be patient.
          If children live with praise,
               They learn to appreciate.
          If children live with acceptance,
               They learn to love.
          If children live with approval,
               They learn to like themselves.
          If children live with honesty,
               They learn truthfulness.
          If children live with security,
               They learn to have faith in themselves and others.
          If children live with friendliness,
               They learn the world is a nice place in which to live.

NAACP calls on Obama to pursue civil rights charges against Zimmerman
Outraged by an acquittal in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, the NAACP quickly called for civil rights charges against George Zimmerman. "The most fundamental of civil rights — the right to life — was violated the night George Zimmerman stalked and then took the life of Trayvon Martin," the NAACP wrote in an online petition to Attorney General Eric Holder.

Hero teen gets on bike, tracks down kidnapper and rescues 5-year-old



 
 
 
 
 
Temar Boggs was hanging out in his Pennsylvania neighborhood when he heard that officers were looking for a reportedly kidnapped 5-year-old girl. Boggs, 15, and his friends got on their bikes and joined the search. "I had the gut feeling that I was going to find the little girl," Boggs said. After first checking the woods and along a creek, Boggs spotted a maroon car that started backtracking through the neighborhood, presumably to avoid a group of officers. He caught up to the car, causing the driver to stop and push the girl out. Boggs scooped her up and delivered her to the police. "I'm just a normal person," he said. "It was a blessing for me to make that happen."
