Title: Mokita: A truth everyone knows that no one talks about.
Post by: Kerry on February 19, 2017, 12:48:56 AM
I love the word Mokita. ". . . a truth everyone knows that no one talks about." (see examples below). A Mokita reveals our hypocrisies, especially those that drive teens to drugs, to sneaky teen sex, and (of late) more suicides. We are causing teens to think there's something wrong with them; we expect teens to want to live in this "Trump-like" mess we've created, one we apparently feel powerless to do anything about. It's virtually impossible to respect someone who puts up with a problem.

We ignore the fact that certain hypocrisies by parents, teachers, politicians, clergy, and the police, affect ones moral compass. The assumption being: When a teen hasn't been taught how to get high through communication, such as the Clearing Process for a Parent and a Young Person/Teen (https://www.comcom121.org/clearing/child.htm), they often try sex or drugs. 

Examples of our hypocrisies:

1 Here in Hawaii most agree that we have the nicest police, yet most everyone believes/knows that some "cops" steal, use, grow, or used to grow, marijuana.

2 With one or two rare exceptions the majority of high school principals have not attended a Leadership Training Program therefore teachers can count on their principal to not hold them to the standards--no excuses, no reasons. Few teachers are as strict as they know they could/should be--consequently, nationwide, for decades, 25% of all college freshmen have required remedial comprehension and compositions courses to learn what their K-12 "teachers" failed to communicate; because of reasons.
