Diversionary Tactics

So long as adults rule, they will make sure they rule by covering up things like parental abuse and talking instead about school shootings and things of that nature. It makes society think that something is being done .... But I think there’d be a lot less unrest if there weren’t so many parents using their kids as pawns or punching bags. “diviana”

 

Diversionary Tactics (Response)

Classic scapegoating.

No one likes to squirm .... adults (particularly Baby Boomers) will do anything they can to take the spotlight off of their generation. They can focus on a few exceptionally rare events like school shootings and use one teenager on one day in one school of 2900+ to represent all teens everywhere everyday. For that grossly inaccurate comparison to be fair, we would have to use Ted Bundy, Jeff Dahmer, Tim McVeigh, and Charles Manson as representative of all adults. Teen pregnancy is really mostly adult w/teen pregnancy, but that “adult” part always gets conveniently left out. After all, adults can do no wrong.
