“Our Youth is Troubled. Do Something, Even If….”

Her name is Max, she’s about 30, and she lives in Ferguson, MO.

We have more in common than either of us would have guessed.  

Here’s what she wrote recently, and it’s with her gracious permission that I share this with you — 

Sometimes, when you pay someone a compliment, they look at you like you’re crazy. Took a chance just now.

Saw these teenage girls at the gas station, and complimented one of their purses. She sweetly said thank you and her posse smiled too.

When I got to the register, they were ahead of me and were 5 something short on their smoothies.

Since they were NICE teenagers, I picked up their tab, and told them to keep being sweet, and to be good to their parents.

Omg those kids were so happy!

All was wonderful until they called me ma’am, and I realized I though of them as kids. 😱

Our youth is troubled. Do something, even if it’s just helping a kid get a soda. They will NEVER forget it.

I STILL remember the lady that bought me those m&ms when I was like 6!!!

— Take her advice.

Even if they do call you Sir or Ma’am.

And even if they don’t.

Take a chance.
