Studying and studies

While this morning/afternoon was spent trying to get through some pages of my psychology text book, this evening was a textbook example... A madrich ran an activity with different improve situations for the kids to run through. At the end every violent action and word was read through by a madricha who had documented it throughout the activity. The madrich then tried to lead a discussion based about violence, and why does it come in to play so often. The most logical response from the teens - it's our way of dealing with the real world. it's our outlet for dark humor. yes, we've all lost someone or another, and maybe we want to downplay the effect of violence by playing it with our friends. hmmm. Of course, cut short we never got to reallly discuss b/c the room was needed... it's always the great discussions that never happen.

Sounds great, though. Very thought provoking. Even if you didn't finish the discussion, the kids have definitely been left with much food for thought.
